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.
Inductions
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

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 two fasteners. Place enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two upper screws. Install the two lower screws and make sure to tighten all screws (Enclosure Dimensions).
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). 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).
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.
Set the unit to the desired DC output voltage by setting SW1 (Fig. 1c) to the appropriate position
(Power Supply Voltage Output Specifications Chart).
Measure output voltage before connecting any devices to ensure proper operation. Improper or high voltage will damage these devices. When servicing the unit, AC mains should be removed.
Connect devices to be powered:
a. For AL400X220 Power Supply: connect devices to the terminals marked [+ DC –] (Fig. 1).
b. For other Power Distribution Models: connect devices to be powered to the terminal pairs 1 to 4 marked [1P & 1N] through [4P & 4N] (Fig. 2a & 2b, pg. 6) or 1 to 8 marked [1P & 1N] through [8P & 8N] (Fig. 3a & 3b), carefully observing correct polarity.
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 AC FAIL & BAT FAIL (Fig. 1a,) supervisory relay outputs.
Note: When used in fire alarm, burglar alarm or access control applications, “AC Fail” relay should be utilized to visually indicate that AC power is on. To delay report for 6 hours cut “AC Delay” jumper (Fig. 1b).
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 (Power Supply Voltage Output Specifications Chart).
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.

Function/Description

---|---
L, G, 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 @ 4A or 24VDC @ 3A continuous power-limited output.
AC Fail NC, C, NO| Indicates loss of AC power, e.g. connect to annunciator/alarm panel. Relay normally energized when AC power is present. Contact rating 1A @ 28VDC. AC Fail condition will report approximately within one (1) minute after 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 NC, C, NO| Indicates low battery condition, e.g. connect to alarm panel. Relay normally energized when DC power is present. Contact rating 1A @ 28VDC. Low battery conditions will report approximately 21VDC (24VDC output setting) or approximately 10.5VDC (12VDC output setting). Battery presence detection will report approximately 1 minute after battery remains undetected (missing or removed).
+ BAT –| Stand-by battery connections. Maximum charge current 0.7A.
