Off-Line Power Supply/Charger
Installation Guide
Overview:
Altronix OLS200 power supply/charger converts 115VAC, 60Hz input into a 12VDC at 10A of continuous supply current (see specifications). This general purpose power supply has a wide range of applications for access control and security system accessories that require additional power.
Specifications:
Input:
- 115VAC (working range 90VAC-132VAC), 50/60Hz, 1.9A.
Output:
- 12VDC output.
- 10A continuous supply current.
- Filtered and electronically regulated output.
- Short circuit and thermal overload protection.
Supervision:
- AC fail supervision (form “C” contacts).
- Low battery supervision (form “C” contacts).
Visual Indicators:
- AC input and DC output LED indicators.
Battery Backup:
- Built-in charger for sealed lead acid or gel type batteries.
- Automatic switch over to stand-by battery when AC fails.
- Maximum charge current 0.7A.
Features:
- Power ON/OFF switch.
- Includes battery leads.
Board Dimensions (L x W x H approx.): 7.25” x 4.5” x 1.75” (184.1mm x 114.3mm x 44.5mm).
Installation Instructions:
OLS200 should be installed in accordance with The National Electrical Code and all applicable Local Regulations.
-
Mount the OLS200 in the desired location/enclosure (mounting hardware included).
-
Slide [Power ON/OFF] switch to OFF position (Fig. 1, pg. 2).
-
Connect AC power to the terminals marked [L & N], connect ground to the terminal marked [G].
Use 18 AWG or larger for all power connections (Battery, DC output, AC input).
Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG for power limited circuits (AC Fail/Low Battery reporting).
Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited wiring (115VAC, 60Hz Input, Battery Wires). Minimum 0.25” spacing must be provided.
CAUTION: Do not touch exposed metal parts.
Shut branch circuit power before installing or servicing equipment.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Refer installation and servicing to qualified service personnel. -
Slide [Power ON/OFF] switch to ON position (Fig. 1, pg. 2).
-
Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.
-
Slide [Power ON/OFF] switch to OFF position (Fig. 1, pg. 2).
-
Connect devices to be powered to the terminals marked [– DC +].
When the use of stand-by batteries is desired, they must be lead acid or gel type. -
Connect battery to the terminals marked [– BAT +] (battery leads included).
Note: When batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in the loss of output voltage. -
Connect appropriate signaling notification devices to AC Fail & Low battery supervisory relay outputs marked [NC, C, NO].
-
Slide [Power ON/OFF] switch to ON position (Fig. 1, pg. 2).
LED Diagnostics:
| Red (DC) | Green (AC) | Power Supply Status |
|---|---|---|
| ON | ON | Normal operating condition. |
| ON | OFF | Loss of AC. Stand-by battery is supplying power. |
| OFF | ON | No DC output. Short circuit or thermal overload condition. |
| OFF | OFF | No DC output. Loss of AC. Discharged or no battery present. |
Terminal Identification:
| Terminal Legend | Function/Description |
|---|---|
| L, G, N | Connect 115VAC to these terminals: L to Hot, N to Neutral, G to |
ground.
— DC +| 12VDC @ 10A continuous supply current.
AC FAIL NC, C, NO| Used to notify loss of AC power, e.g. connect to audible
device or alarm panel. Relay normally energized when AC power is present.
Contact rating 1A @ 28VDC.
Low Battery NC, C, NO| Used to indicate low battery condition, e.g. connect to
alarm panel. Relay normally energized when DC power is present. Contact rating
1A @ 28VDC Low battery threshold: 12VDC output threshold set CO approximately
10.5VDC.
— BAT +| Stand-by battery connections. Maximum charge rate 0.7A.
