Installation Instructions:
Wiring methods shall 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.
1. 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 three 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. 4).
Secure enclosure to earth ground.

 2. Connect input power to the transformer. Secure green wire lead to earth ground. (Fig. 1).
For 115VAC input: Connect Yellow and White leads from transformer primary to neutral.
Connect Blue and Black leads from transformer primary to line (Fig. 2).
For 230VAC input: Connect Blue and Yellow leads of transformer together.
Connect White lead from transformer to neutral.
Connect Black lead from transformer to line (Fig. 2).
Use 18 AWG or larger for all power connections (Battery, DC output).
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 50/60Hz or 230 50/60Hz Input,
Battery Wires). Minimum 0.25” spacing must be provided.
3. Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.
4. Connect devices to be powered to the terminals marked [+ DC –] (Fig. 1).
5. 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. 1). Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in
series for 24VDC operation (battery leads included).
6. Connect appropriate signaling notification devices to AC Fail & Low battery (Fig. 1) supervisory relay outputs.

 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 proper voltage level
(Power Supply Output Selection chart).
Battery Test: Under normal load conditions check that the battery is fully charged, check specified voltage both at the bat-
tery 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 600mA.
Note: Expected battery life is 5 years; however, it is recommended changing batteries in 4 years or less if needed.

LED Diagnostics:
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.
