The B520 Auxiliary Power Supply Module provides up to 2A of
12 VDC power for Fire and Burglar standby power applications.
For Burglar applications, an additional 2A of alarm power is
available, allowing 2A of standby current and up to 4A of alarm
current. You can connect more than one Aux Power Supply
module to the control panel by wiring them in parallel. Refer to
Figure 3.6.
The module’s address switches provide a tens and ones value
for the module’s address. For single-digit address numbers 1
through 9, set the tens switch to 0 and the ones digit to the
appropriate number. Figure 2.1 shows the address switches
setting for addresses 12.
3 | Installation
After you set the address switches for the proper address,
install the module in the enclosure, and then wire it to the
control panel, SDI2 expansion modules,
and/or other 12 VDC devices.
NOTICE!
Remove all power (AC and battery) before making any
connections. Failure to do so might result in personal
injury and/or equipment damage.
3.1 | Mount the module in the enclosure
(models B10, D2203, AE1, and AE2)
3.1.1 | Wire the grounding wire
(models B10, D2203, AE1, and AE2)
Insert the grounding wire lug onto the bolt, and secure it
with a nut and a washer. Insert the other end of grounding
wire onto the enclosure door hinge. Refer to Figure 3.2.
3.2.2 | Mount the module onto the
mounting plate
Insert the plastic mounting clips onto the appropriate
standoff locations on the mounting plate. Place the B520
against the plastic mounting clips and then secure it using
the supplied mounting screws. Refer to Figure 3.4.

2 | SDI2 address settings
Two address switches determine the address for the B520
Auxiliary Power Supply Module. The control panel uses the ad-
dress for communications. Use a slotted screwdriver to set the
address switches.
NOTICE!
The module reads the address switch setting only
during power up. If you change the switches after
you apply power to the module, you must cycle the
power to the module in order for the new setting to
be enabled.
Set the address switches per the control panel conguration. If
multiple B520 modules reside on the same system, each B520
module must have a unique address.

NOTICE!
Do not use B10 or D2203 enclosures for Commerical
Fire applications.
Insert the plastic mounting clips onto the appropriate
standoff locations inside the enclosure. Refer to Figure 3.1.
Mount the module onto the plastic mounting clips and then
secure it using the supplied mounting screws. B10, D2203,

To help prevent damage from electrostatic charges or other
transient electricalsurges, connect the system to earth ground
before making other connections. Recommended earth ground
references are a grounding rod or a cold water pipe. When
grounding, run wire as close as possible to grounding device.
NOTICE!
Do not use telephone or electrical ground for the
earth ground connection. Use 14 AWG (1.8 mm)
to 16 AWG (1.5 mm) wire when making the
connection.

3.4 | Mount and wire the tamper switch
You can connect an enclosure optional door tamper switch
for one module in an enclosure.
Installing the optional tamper switch:
1. Mount the ICP-EZTS Tamper Switch (P/N: F01U009269)
into the enclosure’s tamper switch mounting location. For
complete instructions, refer to EZTS Cover and Wall Tamper
Switch Installation Guide (P/N: F01U003734).
2. Plug the tamper switch wire onto the module’s tamper
switch connector. Refer to Figure 1.1.
3.5 | Wire to the control panel
When you wire a B520 to a control panel, use the terminal
strip labeled SDI2 IN with PWR, A, B, and COM to wire to the
designated terminals, according to the compatible control
panel conguration. Ensure the wiresattache properly.
Figures 3.5 through 3.8 for all wiring congurations.

After wiring the module to the control panel, wire it to the
powered devices.
3.6.1 | Wire to powered SDI2 devices
When you wire the output of a B520 to a SDI2 module, you can
use either the terminal strip of the SDI2 OUT terminal labeled
with PWR, A, B, COM, or you can use the interconnect wiring
connectors. Refer to Figure 3.7.

NOTICE!
When used to power a local security annunciator
(e.g. bell) or a DACT, the B520 must be installed in
the D8108A Attack Resistant Enclosure.
3.7 | Wire to the batteries
You must wire the B520 to BATT 1 for proper operation of
standby power for the B520 module. Wiring the second
battery (BATT 2) is optional. If a control panel is congured
for two batteries as the standby power source, then BATT 2 is
also required for proper operation. BATT 2 must have the same
capacity, and same rating as BATT 1. Maximum Standby power
cannot exceed 36 Ah. Refer to Figure 3.9.

4 | Battery congurations and calculations
To determine the battery standby usage, reference the Table 4.1.
Battery Size (AH’s) for Commercial Fire Applications:
To select the proper battery size, compare the current
calculations from Table 5.1 against the highest current
available for the standby hours required. If the current from
“Total A” or “Total B” exceeds the highest value in that
column, then a second B520 is required to split the current
load.
Battery Size (AH’s) for Burglar Applications:
To select the proper battery size, compare the current
calculations from Table 5.1 against the highest current
available for the standby hours required. If the current from
“Total A” exceeds the highest value in that column, or the
current from “Table B” exceeds 4A, then a you must split the
current load with a second B520.
NOTICE!
The battery terminals and wire are not power limited.
A 0.25 in (6.4 mm) space must be maintained between
the battery terminals, battery wiring, and all other
wiring. Battery wiring cannot share the same conduit,
conduit ttings, or conduit knock-outs with other
wiring. All external connections are power-limited
except battery terminals. All external connections are
supervised.

10 | Specications
To show the rmware version using an LED ash pattern:
– If the optional tamper switch is installed:
With the enclosure door open, activate the tamper switch
(push and release the switch).
– If the optional tamper switch is NOT installed: Momentarily
short the tamper pins.
Refer to Figure 6.1 for an example of ash patterns.
Figure 6.1: Firmware LED ash patterns
When the tamper switch is activated (closed to open), the
heartbeat LED stays OFF for 3 sec before indicating the
rmware version. The LED pulses the major, minor, and
micro digits of the rmware version, with a 1 sec pause after
each digit.
Flashing patterns do not start until the tamper is open
(short is removed). The following is an example: The version
1.4.3 would be shown as LED ashes:
[3 second pause] *___****___*** [3 second pause, then
normal operation].
