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]
