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.

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.

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).
