Altronix AL1012X220 Series Power Supply and Charger Installation Guide
Overview
Altronix AL1012X220 is a power supply that converts a nominal 220VAC (working
range 198VAC-256VAC) 50/60Hz input to a 12VDC output (see specifications).
AL1012X220 is a base unit for a series of multi-output power supply/chargers
including: AL1012XPD4220, AL1012XPD4CB220, AL1012XPD8220, AL1012XPD8CB220,
AL1012XPD16220, AL1012XPD16CB220
(Refer to AL1012X220 Series Power Supply Configuration Reference Chart below).

Installation Instructions
Wiring methods should be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/NFPA 72/ANSI and with all local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. Product is intended for indoor use only.
-
Mount unit in the desired location. Mark and predrill holes in the wall to line up with the top two keyholes in the enclosure. Install two upper fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding. Place the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two upper screws; level and secure. Mark the position of the lower two holes. Remove the enclosure. Drill the lower holes and install the fasteners. Place the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two upper screws. Install the two lower screws and make sure to tighten all screws (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 8). Secure enclosure to earth ground.
-
Connect AC circuit (220VAC, 50/60Hz) as follows: Green branch wire connects to earth (safety) ground lug . Line and Neutral to the connector on power supply board marked [L, N] respectively (Fig. 1, pg. 4).
Use 14 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). -
Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.
Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited wiring (220VAC 50/60Hz 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. -
Connect devices to be powered:
a. For Power Supply Board: connect to the terminals marked [– DC +] (Fig. 1, pg. 4).
b. For Power Distribution Module(s): connect devices to be powered to the terminal pairs 1 to 4 marked [1P & 1N] through [4P & 4N] (Fig. 2, pg. 6) or 1 to 8 marked [1P & 1N] through [8P & 8N] (Fig. 3, pg. 6), carefully observing correct polarity.
Note: When servicing the unit, AC mains should be removed. -
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 appropriate signaling notification devices to terminals marked [AC FAIL] and [BAT FAIL] (Fig. 1, pg. 4) supervisory relay outputs.
Note: When used in fire alarm, burglar alarm or access control applications, “AC Fail” relay must be used to provide a visual indication of AC power on. -
Please ensure that the cover is secured with the provided key lock.
Wiring
Use 14 AWG or larger for all power connections.
Note: Take care to keep power-limited circuits separate from non power-
limited wiring (220VAC, Battery).
Maintenance
Unit should be tested at least once a year for the proper operation as follows:
Output Voltage Test: Under normal load conditions the DC output voltage should
be checked for the proper voltage level.
Battery Test: Under normal load conditions check that the battery is
fully charged, check specified voltage both at the battery terminal and at the
board terminals marked [+ BAT –] to ensure that there is no break in the
battery connection wires.
Note: Maximum charging current under discharges is 0.7A.
Note: Expected battery life is 5 years; however, it is recommended
changing batteries in 4 years or less if needed.

CAUTION: De-energize unit prior to servicing.
For continued protection against risk of electric shock and fire hazard
replace fuse with the same type and rating. Do not expose to rain or moisture.
CAUTION: Optional rechargeable stand-by batteries must match the power supply output voltage setting. Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited. Use minimum 0.25″ spacing.
LED Diagnostics
Power Supply Board
Red (DC) | Green (AC) | Power Supply Status |

ON | ON | Normal operating condition. |
ON | OFF | Loss of AC. Stand-by battery supplying power. |
OFF | ON | No DC output. |
OFF | OFF | Loss of AC. Discharged or no stand-by battery. No DC output. |
Power Distribution Module

Terminal Identification
Power Supply Board
Terminal Legend | Function/Description |
---|---|
L, N | Connect 220VAC (working range 198VAC – 256VAC), 50/60Hz to these |
terminals: L to Hot, N to Neutral. Do not use the [G] terminal.
– DC +| 12VDC @ 10A continuous non power-limited output.
AC FAIL NC, C, NO
| Indicates loss of AC power, e.g. connect to annuciator/alarm panel. Relay
normally energized when AC power is present. Contact rating 1A @ 30VDC. AC
Fail condition will report approxi- mately one (1) minute after the loss of
AC. To delay report for 6 hours cut jumper J1 on the Power Supply Board (AC
trouble output delay option). If this mode is selected, the Power Supply Board
must be reset by removing all power to it for 30 seconds.
BAT FAIL NO, C, NC| Indicates low battery condition, e.g. connect to alarm
panel. Relay normally energized when DC power is present. Contact rating 1A @
30VDC. Low battery conditions will report approxi- mately 10.5VDC. Battery
presence detection will report approximately 1 minute after battery remains
undetected (missing or removed).
+ BAT –| Stand-by battery connections. Maximum charge rate 0.7A.
