Altronix Tango8A(CB) PoE Driven Power Supply with Access Power Controller converts an IEEE802.3bt
PoE input into eight (8) regulated 24VDC and/or 12VDC outputs up to 65W. It eliminates the need for a high
voltage inside of an enclosure. Tango8A(CB) is designed to support a single 12VDC LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron
Phosphate) battery for 12VDC and 24VDC backup.

terminals if battery voltage drops below 80% of
nominal. Prevents deep battery discharge.

Fire Alarm Disconnect:

• Fire Alarm disconnect (latching or non-latching) is
individually selectable for any or all of the

dry contact input. Polarity reversal input from
FACP signaling circuit.

• FACP input WET is rated 5-30VDC 7mA.

• FACP output relay [NC]:
Either Dry 1A/28VDC, 0.6 Power Factor or
10K resistance with [EOL JMP] intact.

Visual Indicators:

• Tango1B

- Input indicates input voltage is present.

- Battery status indicates battery trouble condition.

- PoE Class indicator.

- Supervision PoE Fail or BAT Fail.

• ACMS8(CB)

- Red LEDs indicate outputs are triggered.

- Blue LED indicates FACP disconnect
is triggered.

- Individual voltage LED indicates
12VDC (Green) or 24VDC (Red).

Environmental:

• Operating temperature: 0ºC to 49ºC ambient.

• Humidity: 20 to 85%, non-condensing.

Enclosure Dimensions (approximate H x W x D):

15.5” x 12.25” x 4.5” (394mm x 311mm x 114mm).

Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/NFPA 72/ANSI, the Canadian

Installation Instructions:

Electrical Code 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 two 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. 8). Secure enclosure to earth ground.

2. Ensure all output jumpers [PWR1] - [PWR8] are placed in the
OFF (center) position (Fig. 1, pg. 3).

3. Connect IEEE802.3bt PSE to RJ45 Jack marked PoE+ Data Input on the
Tango1B board (Fig. 4, pg. 5). If Data pass-through is required, connect another
IEEE802.3bt PSE to RJ45 Jack marked [Data Output] (Fig. 4, pg. 5).

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

4. Set each output [OUT1] - [OUT8] to route power from Input 1 or 2 (Fig. 1, pg. 3).
Note: Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.

5. Turn power off before connecting devices.

6. Output options: Tango8A(CB) will provide up to eight (8) switched power outputs or eight (8) dry
form “C” outputs, or any combination of both switched power and form “C” outputs, plus eight (8)
unswitched auxiliary power outputs.
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].
Form “C” outputs:
When form “C” outputs are desired, the corresponding jumper (1-8) must be placed in the OFF position
(Fig. 1, pg. 3). Alternatively, the corresponding output fuse (1-8) can be removed (Tango8A only).
Connect negative (–) of the power supply directly to the locking device.
Connect the positive (+) of the power supply to the terminal marked [C].

• For Fail-Safe operation connect the positive (+) of the device being powered to the terminal
marked [NC].

• For Fail-Secure operation connect the positive (+) of the device being powered to the terminal
marked [NO].
Dry contacts rated @ 2.5A, 28VDC.
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.

7. Turn main power on after all devices are connected.

8. Input Trigger options:
Note: If Fire Alarm disconnect is not used, connect a 10K ohm resistor to terminals marked [GND and EOL],
plus connect a jumper to terminals marked [GND, RST].
Normally Open (NO) Input:
Slide input control logic DIP switch into the OFF position for [Switch 1-8]
(Fig. 2, on right). Connect your wires to terminals marked
[+ INP1 –] to [+ INP8 –].
Normally Closed (NC) Input:
Slide input control logic DIP switch into the ON position for [Switch 1-8]
(Fig. 2, on right). Connect your wires to terminals marked [+ INP1 –] to [+ INP8 –].
Open Collector Sink Input:
Connect the open collector sink input to the terminal marked [+ INP1 –] to [+ INP8 –].
Wet (Voltage) Input Configuration:
Carefully observing polarity, connect the voltage input trigger wires and the supplied 10K resistor to
terminals marked [+ INP1 –] to [+ INP8 –].
If applying voltage to trigger input - set the corresponding INP Logic switch to the “OFF” position
If removing voltage to trigger input - set the corresponding INP Logic switch to the “ON” position.
