Altronix Tango1B PoE Driven Power Supply/Charger converts an IEEE802.3bt PoE input into a regulated
24VDC and/or 12VDC output up to 72W. Ideal access installations, it eliminates the need for a high voltage
power supply inside of an enclosure. The Tango 8-pin connector allows for stacking with compatible Altronix
sub-assemblies such as ACMS8(CB), LINQ8ACM(CB) or PDS8(CB) saving valuable enclosure space.
Tango1B is designed to support a single 12V LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery for high storage and

charge/discharge cycle life reliability.

Specifications:

Overview:

Ethernet Input:

• 802.3bt PoE up to 90W or 802.3at up to 30W
or 802.3af up to 15W.

• CAT-6 or higher cable is recommended
for optimum preformance.

Power Output (when using 802.3bt 90W):

• 12VDC up to 6A (72W)
and/or 24VDC up to 3A (72W).
Combined output not to exceed 72W.

• When charging batteries:
12VDC up to 5A (62W)
and/or 24VDC up to 2.7A (62W)
Combined output not to exceed 62W.

Ethernet Output:

• Pass-through Ethernet Port (data only).

• 100/1G

Battery:

• 12VDC battery charger for Lithium Iron
Phosphate Battery (LiFeP04 only) .

• Unique technology allows for single battery
to backup 12VDC and/or 24VDC systems.

• Low power shutdown. Shuts down DC output
terminals if battery voltage drops below 80% of
nominal. Prevents deep battery discharge.

Supervision:

• Loss of PoE Input.

• Battery Supervision.

Visual Indicators:

• Input indicates input voltage is present.

• Battery status indicates battery trouble condition.

• PoE Class indicator.

• Supervision PoE Fail or BAT Fail.

Additional Features:

• Short circuit and overload protection.

Board Dimensions (approximate L x W x H):

7.625” x 4.125” x 1.25”
(193.7mm x 104.8mm x 32.0mm)

Installation Instructions:

Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/NFPA 72/ANSI, the Canadian
Electrical Code and with all local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. Product is intended for indoor use only.

1. Mount Tango1B in the desired location/enclosure (mounting hardware included).

2. Connect IEEE802.3bt PSE to RJ45 Jack marked PoE+ Data Input (Fig. 1b, pg. 3).
Note: CAT-6 or higher cable is recommended for optimum performance.

CAUTION: Do not touch exposed metal parts.
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer installation and servicing to qualified service personnel.

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

4. Connect 12V devices to be powered to terminals marked [+ 12V –] (Fig. 1d, pg. 3).

5. Connect 24V devices to be powered to terminals marked [+ 24V –] (Fig. 1e, pg. 3).

6. When the use of stand-by batteries is desired, they must be Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4).
Connect batteries to the terminals marked [+ BAT –] (battery leads included) (Fig. 1f, pg. 3).

7. Connect appropriate signaling notification devices to terminals marked [C FAIL NC] (Fig. 1c, pg. 3)
supervisory relay output. In normal conditions this relay is closed and in trouble conditions this relay open.
