Overview:

These multi-output access control power supply/chargers are specifically designed for use with access control systems and accessories. These units convert a 115VAC, 60Hz input into five (5) individually protected 12VDC or 24VDC outputs (see specifications). Each output will route power to a variety of access control hardware devices including Mag Locks, Electric Strikes, Magnetic Door Holders, etc. These outputs will operate in both Fail-Safe and Fail-Secure modes. Controlled trigger input is achieved through normally open [NO] or normally closed [NC] supervised input or the polarity reversal from an FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel). A form “C” dry output relay enables HVAC Shutdown, Elevator Recall or may be used to trigger auxiliary devices.

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. 15, 16). Secure enclosure to earth ground. It is recommended to first review the following tables for screw

terminals, switch selection and LED status indications. This will greatly facilitate installation hook-up.

Carefully review:
Output Voltage & Stand-by Specifications	(pg. 4)	Terminal Identification Table	(pg. 10)
LED Diagnostics	(pg. 9)	Typical Application Diagrams	(pgs. 11 & 12)

2.Set output voltage:

AL300ULM, AL400ULM (Fig. 1c, pg. 5) and AL600ULM (Fig. 2b, pg. 6) set desired DC output voltage by setting switch SW1 to the appropriate position on the power supply board. AL1012ULM is 12VDC only. AL1024ULM is 24VDC only. (Output Voltage and Stand-by Specification Charts, pg. 4).

3.Secure green lead to earth ground. Connect AC power (115VAC, 60Hz to terminals marked [L, G, N] on power supply board (Fig. 1, pg. 5; Fig. 2, pg. 6; Fig. 3, pg. 7; Fig. 4, pg. 8).

Use 18 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).

4.Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoid potential damage.

Keep power limited wiring separate from non-power limited wiring (115VAC / 60Hz Input, Battery Wires). Minimum 0.25” spacing must be provided.

For Fire Alarm applications the outputs are “Special Applications” only see list (refer to Appendix A, pg. 13). For other devices contact Underwriters Laboratories to insure compatibility.

5.Connect Fail-Secure type locking hardware (e.g. door strikes and electronic dead bolts) positive leads to terminals marked [1 through 5 POS. (+) DC OUTPUT (ALARM)] on MOM5 board and the negative leads to terminals marked [NEG 1 through NEG 5] on MOM5 board (Fig. 1, pg. 5; Fig. 2, pg. 6; Fig. 3, pg. 7; Fig. 4, pg. 8).

6.Connect Fail-Safe type locking hardware (e.g. mag locks, door strikes and door holders) positive leads to terminals marked [6 through 10 POS. (+) DC OUTPUT (STAND-BY)] on MOM5 board and negative leads to terminals marked [NEG 1 through NEG 5] on MOM5 board (Fig. 1, pg. 5; Fig. 2, pg. 6; Fig. 3, pg. 7; Fig. 4, pg. 8).

7.To trigger the unit from a FACP connect signaling circuit of FACP to terminals marked [- INPUT +] on MOM5 board (Fig. 1, pg. 5; Fig. 2, pg. 6; Fig. 3, pg. 7; Fig. 4, pg. 8). Polarity is shown in alarm condition. For latching fire alarm interface (Fig. 7, pg. 11; Figs. 8 & 9, pg. 12).

Note: A 2.2K EOL must be installed across terminals marked [TRIGGER] on MOM5 board or the unit will remain in an alarm condition.

8.To trigger the unit using a supervised dry contact connect the 2.2K resistor in series for a NC trigger input and in parallel for [NO] trigger input (Fig. 5, pg. 11).

9.Connect auxiliary devices triggered by the unit to the terminals marked [DRY OUTPUT NO & C] on MOM5 board for normally open output or terminals marked [DRY OUTPUT NC & C] on MOM5 board for normally closed output (Fig. 1, pg. 5; Fig. 2, pg. 6; Fig. 3, pg. 7; Fig. 4, pg. 8).

Note: This relay will energize when the unit is triggered.

10.For Access Control applications batteries are optional. When batteries are not used a loss of AC will result in the loss of output voltage. Batteries must be lead acid or gel type if used. Connect one (1) 12VDC battery to terminals marked [+ BAT -- ] on power supply board for 12VDC operation (Fig. 1, pg. 5; Fig. 2, pg. 6; Fig. 3, pg. 7; Fig. 4, pg. 8).

Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in series for 24VDC operation. (Battery leads included).

11.Connect supervisory trouble reporting devices to outputs marked [AC FAIL, LOW BAT] and [Power Fail] supervisory relay outputs marked [NO, C, NC] on power supply board (Fig. 1a, pg. 5; Fig. 2a, pg. 6; Fig. 3a, pg. 7; Fig. 4, pg. 8). Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG for AC Fail & Low Battery reporting.

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 6 hours cut “AC Delay” jumper (Fig. 1b, pg. 3).

12.Please insure that the cover is secured with the provided Key Lock.
