NP-AMOD8

ACCESS POWER CONTROLLER

WI1329A 12/05

DESCRIPTION

The NP-AMOD8 is an access power controller that dis-

tributes one (1) 12-24 volt AC or DC input over eight
(8) independently controlled (and fuse protected) out­puts. In addition, these 8 outputs can be configured as
dry form "C" contacts. The outputs are activated by an
open collector sink or normally open (NO) dry trigger
input from a Card Reader, Access Control System,
Push Button, Keypad, PIR, etc. It will direct power to
many access control hardware devices including Elec­tric Strikes, Magnetic Locks and Door Holders, etc.
Outputs operate in both fail-secure and fail-safe
modes. The NP-AMOD8 can be powered by one com­mon power source that provides power for both the
locking devices and board operation, or two totally in­dependent power sources, one supplying power for
lock / accessory power and the other for board opera­tion. The FACP Interface enables Alarm Monitoring,
Emergency Egress, HVAC Shutdown, Elevator Recall
or can be used to trigger other auxiliary devices. The
fire alarm disconnect can be configured for the follow­ing modes: Eight (8) outputs unaffected (Fail Safe) or
Eight (8) outputs affected (Fail Secure). Each output is
independent controlled.

is determined by the power supply, not to exceed a maxi­mum of 10 amp total.

a) Normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) dry con-

tact input.

a) Eight (8) outputs affected.
b) Eight (8) outputs unaffected .

• FACP output relay (form "C" contact rated @ 1 amp
28VDC not evaluated by UL).

• Green LED indicates when FACP disconnect is triggered.

• Removable terminal blocks facilitate ease of installation.

Board Dimensions: 203.2mm L x 114.3mm W x 45mm H

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mount NP-AMOD8 in desired location/enclosure.
Note: Keep power limited wiring separate from non-

power limited wiring (115VAC / 60Hz Input, Battery
wires). Minimum .25" spacing must be provided.
Carefully review:

• Terminal Identification Table

• Typical Application Diagram

• LED Diagnostics

• Hook-up Diagrams

2. Power supply input:
The NP-AMOD8 can be powered with one (1) power

supply which will provide power for both board op­eration and the locking devices or two (2) separate
power supplies, one (1) to provide power for the
board operation and the other to provide power for
the locking devices.

Note: The input power can be either 12 to 24 volts

AC or DC (.5amp @ 12volt, .22amp @ 24volt current
consumption with all relays energized).

(a) Single power supply input:

If the NP-AMOD8 and the locking devices are to be

powered using a single power supply, connect the
output (12 to 24 volts AC or DC) to the terminals
marked [- Control+].

(b) Multiple power supply inputs :

When the use of two power supplies is desired,

jumpers J1 and J2 (located to the left of the power/

1

control terminals) must be cut. Connect power for
the NP-AMOD8 to the terminals marked [- Control +]
and connect power for the locking devices to the ter­minals marked [- Power +].

Note: When using DC power supplies, polarity must

be observed. When using AC power supplies polar­ity need not be observed.

Note: For UL compliance, the power supplies

must be UL Listed for Access Control Systems
and accessories.

3. Output hookup options :
The NP-AMOD8 will provide either eight (8) powered

(switched and/or auxiliary), eight (8) form "C", or any
combination of both powered and form "C" 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 fail­secure operation connect the positive (+) input of the
device being powered to the terminal marked [NO].

(b) Form "C" outputs:

When form "C" outputs are desired, the correspond-

ing output fuse (1-8) must be removed. 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 fail­secure operation connect the positive (+) of the de­vice being powered to the terminal marked [NO].

(c) Auxiliary Power outputs (unswitched):

Connect positive (+) input of the device being pow-

ered to the terminal marked [C] and the negative (-)
of the device being powered to the terminal marked
[COM]. This output can be used to provide power
for card readers, keypads etc.

4. Input trigger hookup options :

(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].

5. Fire Alarm Interface :
A normally closed [NC], normally open [NO] or rever-

sal of polarity input from a fire alarm control panel
(FACP) will trigger all outputs, except when the inde­pendent mode option is selected.

Independent output mode: (eight (8) outputs with

FACP disconnect with or outputs without FACP dis­connect).

To program the independent mode set switch to the

Fail Safe or Fail Secure position. In this mode of op­eration, Fail Safe will be affected when the fire alarm
interface is triggered and outputs Fail Secure will re­main unaffected.

(a) Normally Open [NO] input:

Connect the normally open FACP trigger input to the

terminals marked [+ INP] and [T].

(b) Normally Closed [NC] input:

Connect the normally closed FACP trigger input to

the terminals marked [+ INP -] and install a jumper
across the terminals marked [+ INP] and [T].

(c) Signaling Circuit input trigger:

Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) from the

FACP signaling circuit to the terminals marked [+
INP -].

Connect the FACP EOL or next signaling device to

the terminals marked [+ RET -- ] (polarity is refer­enced in an alarm condition). Jumper J3 must be

cut.

6. FACP dry contact output:
Connect desired device to be triggered by the NP-

AMOD8'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.
