maximal Series Overview:

maximal Access Power Controllers distribute and switch power to access control systems and accessories. They convert a 120VAC 60Hz input into sixteen (16) independently controlled 12VDC or 24VDC fuse-protected outputs.
These Fail-Safe/Fail-Secure power outputs may be converted to dry-form “C” contacts. The outputs are activated by an open collector sink or normally open (NO) dry trigger input from an Access Control System, Keypad, Push Button, REX PIR, etc. Units will route power to a variety of access control hardware devices including Mag Locks, Electric Strikes, Magnetic Door Holders, etc. The FACP Interface enables Emergency Egress, and Alarm Monitoring, or may be used to trigger other auxiliary devices. The fire alarm disconnect feature is individually selectable for any or all of the sixteen (16) outputs. All interconnecting equipment must be UL Listed.

maximal Series Configuration Chart:

*Maximal11F only:* This unit is classified as Class 2 Power-Limited stand- alone power supply with standby battery and it is suitable to power: sensors, and electromechanical devices (e.g. electric door strikes).
Maximal33F, Maximal55F, Maximal75F, and Maximal77F:** The DC output for these power supplies is not power-limited. If a power-limited output is required in the end-product application, the DC output from the power supply must be connected to a separately Listed control unit or accessory board that provides power-limited outputs. The product(s) providing the power-limited output(s) must be listed as appropriate for the particular end-product application and wired in accordance with the product’s installation instructions. Class 1 wiring methods, separation of circuits, and proper fire- rated enclosures all must be considered when connecting the DC output of the power supply to the end-product devices. The auxiliary outputs of these units are power-limited.

   Connect the access control panel open collector sink positive (+) to terminals marked [IN] and the negative (–) to terminals marked [GND].

8. ACM8 Fire Alarm Interface options (Figs. 5-9, pg. 12):
   A normally closed [NC] or normally open [NO] input trigger from a fire alarm control panel or a polarity reversal input from an FACP signaling circuit will affect selected outputs. To enable FACP Disconnect for an output turn the corresponding switch(es) [SW1-SW8] OFF on each ACM8 board. To disable FACP disconnect for an output turn the corresponding switch(es) [SW1-SW8] ON on each ACM8 board.
   (a) Normally Open [NO] input:
   For non-latching hook-ups refer to Fig. 6, pg. 12. For latching hook-up refer to Fig. 7, pg. 12.
   (b) Normally Closed [NC] input:
   For non-latching hook-ups refer to Fig. 8, pg. 12. For latching hook-up refer to Fig. 9, pg. 12.
   (c) FACP Signaling Circuit input trigger:
   Connect the positive (+) and negative (–) from the FACP signaling circuit output to the terminals marked [+ INP –]. Connect the FACP EOL to the terminals marked [+ RET -] (polarity is referenced in an alarm condition). The jumper located next to TRG LED must be cut (Fig. 6, pg. 12).

9. FACP Dry form “C” output (Not evaluated by UL) (Fig. 2b, pg. 9):
   FACP form “C” contacts can be used to trigger reporting or signaling devices. These contacts switch upon a fire alarm input trigger to the ACM8 boards.

10. Stand-by Battery Connections (Fig. 3, pg. 10):
    For the U.S. Access Control applications batteries are optional. Batteries are required for Canadian installations (ULC-S319). When batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in the loss of output voltage. When the use of stand-by batteries is desired, they must be lead acid or gel type. Connect the battery to terminals marked [– BAT +] (Fig. 3, pg. 10). Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in series for 24VDC operation (battery leads included). Use batteries – Castle CL1270 (12V/7AH), CL12120 (12V/12AH), CL12400 (12V/40AH), CL12650 (12V/65AH) batteries or UL recognized BAZR2 and BAZR8 batteries of an appropriate rating.

11. Battery and AC Supervision outputs (Fig. 3, pg. 10):
    It is required to connect supervisory trouble reporting devices to outputs marked [AC Fail, BAT Fail] supervisory relay outputs marked [NC, C, NO] to appropriate visual notification devices. Use 22 AWG to  18 AWG for AC Fail & Low/No Battery reporting.

12. To delay AC reporting for 2 hrs., set the DIP switch [AC Delay] to the OFF position (Fig. 3, pg. 10).
    To delay AC reporting for 1 min., set the DIP switch [AC Delay] to the ON position (Fig. 3, pg. 10).

13. Fire Alarm Disconnect (Fig. 3, pg. 10):
    To enable Fire Alarm Disconnect set the DIP switch [Shutdown] to the ON position.

    Mount UL Listed tamper switch (Altronix model TS112 or equivalent) at the top of the enclosure. Slide the tamper switch bracket onto the edge of the enclosure approximately 2” from the right side (Fig. 3a, pg. 10).
    Connect tamper switch wiring to the Access Control Panel input or the appropriate UL Listed reporting device. To activate the alarm signal open the door of the enclosure.

15. Multiple power supply inputs (Fig. 2, pg. 9) (Not evaluated by UL):
    When using an additional Listed external power supply, jumpers J1 and J2 located on the corresponding ACM8 board must be cut (Fig. 2c, pg. 9 & Fig. 5, pg. 12). Connect external Listed power-limited access control power supply to the terminals marked [– Control +] (These terminals are paralleled to the [– Power +] terminals). When using DC power supplies, polarity must be observed. When using AC power supplies, polarity need not be observed (Fig. 2d, pg. 9.) All field wiring connections must be made employing suitable gauge CM or FPL jacketed wire (or equivalent substitute) (Fig. 4a, pg. 11).

Maintenance:

FACP Supervision:| To ensure proper connection and operation of the Fire Alarm disconnect hookup.
Please follow the appropriate procedure below:
---|---
Normally Open Input:| Placing a short between terminals marked [T] and [+ INP] will trigger the Fire Alarm Disconnect. Remove the short to reset.
Normally Closed Input:| Removing the wire from the terminal marked [INP –] will trigger the Fire Alarm Disconnect. Replace the wire to the terminal marked [INP –] to reset.
FACP Signal Circuit Input:| It is necessary to trigger the Fire Alarm System. In all of the above scenarios t the green, TRG LED of the ACM8s will illuminate. All outputs selected for The fire Alarm Disconnect will activate releasing locking devices.

Note : All outputs [OUT 1] – [OUT 8] must be in a normal (de-energized) condition prior to testing. When the unit is configured for Normally Open (Fig. 8, pg. 12) or Normally Closed (Fig. 10, pg. 12) latching operation, it is necessary to reset the Fire Alarm Disconnect by activating the Normally Closed reset switch.

Output Voltage Test:| Under normal load conditions, the DC output voltage should be checked for proper voltage level (refer to MaximalF series Configuration Chart, pg. 3).
---|---
Battery Test:| Under normal load conditions check that the battery is fully charged, check the specified voltage at the battery terminals and at the board terminals marked [+ BAT –] to ensure that there is no break in the battery connection wires.

Note : Maximum charge current is 1.54A. The expected battery life is 5 years; however, it is recommended to change batteries within 4 years or less if necessary.
