Overview:

The AL1012ULX is a power supply that converts a 115VAC / 60Hz input, to a 12VDC output (see specifications).
The AL1012ULX is a base unit for a series of UL Listed multi-output power supply/chargers, including:
AL1012ULXPD4, AL1012ULXPD4CB, AL1012ULXPD8, AL1012ULXPD8CB, AL1012ULXPD16,
AL1012ULXPD16CB (Refer to AL1012ULX Series Power Supply Configuration Reference Chart).

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 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
Secure enclosure to earth ground.

2. Connect AC power (115VAC / 60 Hz to terminals marked [L, G, N]

(Fig. 1, pg. 5). 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 (115VAC / 60Hz Input,
Battery Wires). Minimum .25” spacing must be provided.

3. Measure output voltage before connecting device. This helps avoid potential damage.

4. Connect devices to be powered:
a. For Power Supply Board connect to terminals marked [+ DC -]

. For Power Distribution Module(s) connect devices to be powered to terminal pairs 1 to 4 marked

b

[1P & 1N thru 4P & 4N]

observing correct polarity.

When servicing the unit, AC mains should be removed.

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-b

y batteries is desired, they must be lead acid or gel type.

6. Connect appropriate signaling notification devices to terminals marked [AC FAIL & BAT FAIL]

AC FAIL Indicates loss of AC power, e.g. connect to annuciator/alarm panel. Relay normally energized
NC, C, NO when AC power is present. Contact rating 1 amp @ 30VDC. AC Fail condition will report

approximately one (1) to one 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 Indicates low battery condition, e.g. connect to alarm panel. Relay normally energized
NO, C, NC when DC power is present. Contact rating 1 amp @ 30VDC. Low battery conditions will report
