Overview:
LISTED
These units distribute and switch power to access control systems and accessories. They convert a 115VAC 60Hz input
into eight (8) independently controlled 12VDC or 24VDC PTC protected outputs. Outputs are activated by an open collector sink or normally open (NO) dry trigger input from an Access Control System, Card Reader, Keypad, Push Button,
PIR, etc. Units will route power to a variety of access control hardware devices including: Mag Locks, Electric Strikes,
Magnetic Door Holders, etc. Outputs will operate in both Fail-Safe and/or Fail-Secure modes. The FACP Interface enables
Emergency Egress, Alarm Monitoring, or may be used to trigger other auxiliary devices. The fire alarm disconnect feature
is individually selectable for any or all of the eight (8) outputs.

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 (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 10).
Secure enclosure to earth ground. It is recommended to first review the following tables to facilitate installation:
Output Voltage and Stand-by Specifications Charts (pg. 3)
Typical Application Diagram (pg. 5)
LED Diagnostics (pg. 5)
Terminal Identification Tables (pg. 7)
Hook-up Diagrams (pg. 8)
2. Set output voltage:
AL400ULACMCBJ and AL600ULACMCBJ set desired DC output voltage by setting switch SW1 to the appropriate
position on the power supply board. AL1012ULACMCBJ is 12VDC and AL1024ULACMCBJ is 24VDC
(Output Voltage and Stand-by Specification Charts below).

3. Measure voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.
4. Connect AC (Fig. 2, pg. 6):
Connect unswitched AC power (115VAC 60Hz) to terminals marked [L, G, N]. Use 14 AWG or larger for all power
connections. Secure green wire lead to earth ground.
Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited wiring (115VAC 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.
5. Output options (Fig. 1, pg. 5):
The unit will provide eight (8) switched power outputs or eight (8) unswitched auxiliary power outputs.
(a) Switched Power outputs:
Connect the negative (-) input of the device being powered to the terminal marked [COM]. For Fail-Safe operation
connect the positive (+) input of the device being powered to the terminal marked [NC]. For Fail-Secure operation
connect the positive (+) input of the device being powered to the terminal marked [NO].
(b) Auxiliary Power outputs (unswitched):
Connect positive (+) input of the device being powered to the terminal marked [C] and the negative (-) of the device
being powered to the terminal marked [COM]. Output can be used to provide power for card readers, keypads etc.

6. Input trigger options (Fig. 1, pg. 5):
(a) Normally Open [NO] input trigger:
Inputs 1-8 are activated by normally open or open collector sink inputs.
Connect devices (card readers, keypads, request to exit buttons etc.) to terminals marked [IN] and [GND].
(b) Open Collector Sink inputs:
Connect the access control panel open collector sink positive (+) to the terminal marked [IN] and the negative (-)
to the terminal marked [GND].
7. Fire Alarm Interface options (Figs. 4 through 8, pg. 8):
A normally closed [NC], normally open [NO] input or polarity reversal input from FACP signaling circuit will
trigger selected outputs. To enable FACP Disconnect for an output turn the corresponding switch [SW1-SW8] ON.
To disable FACP disconnect for an output turn the corresponding switch [SW1-SW8] OFF.
(a) Normally Open [NO] input:
For non-latching hook-up (Fig. 5, pg. 8). For latching hook-up (Fig. 6, pg. 8).
(b) Normally Closed [NC] input:
For non-latching hook-up (Fig. 7, pg. 8). For latching hook-up (Fig. 8, pg. 8).
(c) FACP Signaling Circuit input trigger:
Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) from the FACP signaling circuit output to the terminals marked [+ INP -].
Connect the FACP EOL to the terminals marked [+ RET -] (polarity is referenced in an alarm condition).
Jumper J3 must be cut (Fig. 4, pg. 8).
8. FACP Dry form “C” output (Fig. 1a, pg. 5):
Connect desired device to be triggered by the unit’s dry contact output to the terminals marked [NO] and [C]
FACP for normally open output or the terminals marked [NC] and [C] FACP for normally closed output.
9. Battery Connections (Fig. 2, pg. 6):
For Access Control applications batteries are optional. If batteries are not used a loss of AC will result in the loss of
output voltage. Batteries must be lead acid or gel type. Connect one (1) 12VDC battery to the terminals marked
[- BAT +] for 12VDC operation. Use two (2) 12VDC batteries wired in series for 24VDC operation.
10. Battery and AC Supervision output (Fig. 2, pg. 6):
It is required to connect supervisory trouble reporting devices to outputs marked [AC Fail, BAT FAIL] supervisory
relay outputs marked [NC, C, NO] to appropriate notification devices. Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG for AC Fail &
Low/No Battery reporting. Cut “AC delay” jumper to delay report 6 hour.
Note: A tamper switch must be installed and connected to the appropriate notification device to report a
trouble condition when the enclosure door is open.
11. Multiple power supply inputs (Fig. 1, pg. 5):
When using two (2) power supplies jumpers J1 and J2 (located to the left of the power/control terminals) must
be cut (Fig. 1b, pg. 5 & Fig. 3 pg. 8). Connect power for the ACM8CB to the terminals marked [- Control +] and
connect power for the locking devices to the terminals marked [- Power +]. When using DC power supplies polarity
must be observed. When using AC power supplies polarity need not be observed.
Note: For UL compliance the additional power supply must be power-limited, UL Listed for Access Control
Systems and accessories.
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
(Output Voltage and Stand-by Specification Charts, pg. 3).
Battery Test: Under normal load conditions check that the battery is fully charged, check specified voltage at the battery
terminals and at the board terminals marked [- BAT +] to ensure that there is no break in the battery connection wires.
Note: AL400ULXB2, AL600ULXB, AL1012ULXB (Power Supply Board) maximum charge current is 0.7 amp.
AL1024ULXB2 (Power Supply Board) maximum charge current is 3.6 amp.
Expected battery life is 5 years; however, it is recommended to change batteries within 4 years or less if necessary.
