Description

The AQS series are heavy-duty, self-contained, efficient, clean, offline switching power supplies, with linear-type performance. The AQS
series have a dedicated lead acid battery(s) charger that obtains maximum battery life while providing 12 VDC or 24 VDC uninterruptible
power for access control security systems. The field selectable AC input on AQS models allows these power supplies to be powered
anywhere in the world. The AQS series have exceptional brownout capability with operation down to 85% of nominal voltage. The AQ series
have an extensive filtering system that provides linear output performance, and they are electronically protected against battery reversal,
shorting, or overloading. All variants are Power limited output with thermal protection when used with a distribution board. Each of these
protective features will self-restore.

NOTE: Before connecting load and battery(s), ensure the 12V/24V jumper is moved to the desired voltage.
CAUTION: Damage can occur when switching the DC output voltage. Proper voltage must be confirmed before connecting devices.

The AQS series are UL Listed and have additional supervisory features:

120 / 240 VAC (456W)

UL recorded output range for compatibility
on battery

Caution: To avoid spark, AC must be applied before connecting battery cable to battery

• Battery disconnect relay when battery(s) are depleted

• Set of Form “C” relay contacts that indicate AC power failure

• Set of Form “C” relay contacts that indicate low battery(s)

• Green LED for local “AC” on indication.

• DC Output is Class II power limited when used with distribution boards.

Note: If no distribution boards are used, Class 1 wiring is required on all outputs. If there is power limited and non-power limited wire there
shall be a min of ¼ inch spacing between the power limited and non-power limited wire.

Depending on load, low battery trouble indicates 50–75% battery capacity remaining. Input wiring to the unit should be enclosed in conduit
secured firmly to the enclosure. The AQS cannot be used to power a mercantile bell.
