MaximalFDV Series Overview:

Altronix MaximalFDV Access Power/Controllers distribute and switch power to access control systems and accessories. They convert a 220VAC (working range 198VAC – 256VAC), 50/60Hz input into sixteen (16) independently controlled 12VDC or 24VDC PTC protected outputs. 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, 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.

   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 ACM8CB board. To disable FACP disconnect for an output, turn the corresponding switch(es) [SW1-SW8] ON on each ACM8CB board.
   (a) Normally Open [NO] input:
   For non-latching hook-up refer to Fig. 6, pg. 11. For latching hook-up refer to Fig. 7, pg. 11.
   (b) Normally Closed [NC] input:
   For non-latching hook-up refer to Fig. 8, pg. 11. For latching hook-up refer to Fig. 9, pg. 11.
   (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). Jumper located next to TRG LED must be cut (Fig. 5, pg. 11).

9. FACP Dry form “C” output (Fig. 2b, pg. 8):
   FACP form “C” contacts can be use to trigger reporting or signaling devices.
   These contact switch upon a fire alarm input trigger to the ACM8CB boards.

10. Stand-by Battery Connections (Fig. 3, pg. 9):
    For Access Control applications batteries are optional. 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 battery to terminals marked [– BAT +] (Fig. 3, pg. 9). Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in series for 24VDC operation (battery leads included). Use batteries – Casil 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. 9):
    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 DIP switch [AC Delay] to OFF position (Fig. 3, pg. 9).
    To delay AC reporting for 1 min., set DIP switch [AC Delay] to ON position (Fig. 3, pg. 9).

    Connect tamper switch wiring to the Access Control Panel input or the appropriate UL Listed reporting device. To activate alarm signal, open the door of the enclosure.

15. Multiple power supply inputs (Fig. 2, pg. 8):
    When using an additional external power supply, jumpers J1 and J2 located on corresponding ACM8 board must be cut (Fig. 2c, 2d, pg. 8). Connect external 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 needs not to be observed.
    (Fig. 2d, pg. 8) All field wiring connections must be made employing suitable gauge CM or FPL jacketed wire or equivalent substitute (Fig. 4a, pg. 10).

Maintenance:

Maintenance: Unit should be tested at least once a year for the proper operation as follows:
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 terminal marked [INP –] will trigger the Fire Alarm Disconnect. Replace the wire to terminal marked [INP –] to reset.
FACP Signal Circuit Input: It is necessary to trigger the Fire Alarm System. In all of the above scenarios the green TRG LED of the ACM8s will illuminate. All outputs selected for 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 configuredfor Normally Open (Fig. 7, pg. 11) or Normally Closed (Fig. 9, pg. 11) 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 MaximalFDV series Configuration Chart, pg. 3).
Battery Test: Under normal load conditions check that the battery is fully charged, check 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. Expected battery life is 5 years; however, it is recommended to change batteries within 4 years or less if necessary.

Fig. 3 – Maximal3FDV, Maximal5FDV, and Maximal7FDV

CAUTION: When power supply board is set for 12VDC use only one (1) 12VDC stand-by battery.
Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited.
Use minimum 0.25″ spacing.
12AH Rechargeable batteries are the largest batteries that can fit in this enclosure. An external battery enclosure must be used if using the 40AH or 65AH batteries.

NEC Power-Limited Wiring Requirements:

Power-limited and non power-limited circuit wiring must remain separated in the cabinet. All power-limited circuit wiring must remain at least 0.25” away from any non power-limited circuit wiring. Furthermore, all power-limited circuit wiring and non power-limited circuit wiring must enter and exit the cabinet through different conduits.
One such example of this is shown below. Your specific application may require different conduit knockouts to be used. Any conduit knockouts may be used. For power-limited applications use of conduit is optional. All field wiring connections must be made employing suitable gauge CM or FPL jacketed wire (or equivalent substitute).
Optional UL Listed battery enclosure must be mounted adjacent to the power supply via Class 1 wiring methods.
For Canadian installations use shielded wiring for all connections.
Note: Refer to wire handling drawing below for the proper way to install the CM or FPL jacketed wire (Fig. 4a).
