Mounting the Enclosure – 2 & 4 Door Systems

The metal enclosure should be mounted vertically on a wall in a secure location.

1. Run all wires to the enclosure location and label the wires according to their use.

2. Remove the enclosure's door by first unlocking the door and removing the door's ground wire. The door
may be lifted out of the hinge slots, which will provide room for mounting and connecting wires to terminals.

3. Locate the enclosure on the wall and level. Mark the mounting holes on the wall and remove the enclosure
and install anchors appropriate for the type of wall and mounting conditions. The mounting slots are sized
for use with ¼ inch hex head lag screws. Use a length suitable for the mounting conditions but typically not
less than 1 ¾ inch long.

4. DO NOT DRILL the mounting holes while the enclosure is in place on the wall. Dust and debris from drilling
will contaminate and damage the electronics.

5. Partially insert mounting screws into the top two mounting holes and hang the enclosure on the screws.
Check for level, insert the lower screws and tighten all four mounting screws.

6. Run the wires through the knockout holes and connect to the appropriate terminals (see following sections
of the manual for wiring details). Note: Tie down loops are located in the enclosure and are used to provide
strain relief for field wiring connections to the controller.

7. Reinstall the door and reconnect the door's ground wire.

On models that include power for the door locks, the power module has the ability to supply either 12 or 24
VDC power to the door locks. This can be set individually for each of the four outputs. LED's indicate if the output
power is set to 12 VDC (GREEN LED), 24 VDC (AMBER LED) or if the output is overloaded (RED LED). NOTE:

The maximum output current for each of the four outputs is 375 mA @ 24V or 700 mA @ 12V.

Battery Connection

The enclosure provides space and charging for one 12V sealed lead acid battery. When primary AC power is lost,
the battery will provide standby power until the battery voltage reaches approximately 11 VDC at which point the
system will shutdown until main power is restored.

Battery Warnings

 Use caution when installing the battery. Incorrect use can damage the battery, power module or can cause

shock or fire.

 Connect main AC power before installing the battery. Depending on the condition of the battery, the system

may power up when connecting the battery without an AC power connection.

 Only connect one battery to the power module. Do not connect multiple batteries in parallel or in series.

This will damage the system and void the warranty.

 The battery charger provides a maximum charge rate of approximately 900mA and will maintain the charge

on a fully charged battery. Ensure that this does not exceed the battery manufacture's rating.

 Replace the backup battery every 2 to 3 years.

 Properly dispose of old batteries.

The illustrations below show the features of the power module.

On models that include power for door locks, the output voltage can be individually set for each of the four
outputs. Jumpers are used to set the output voltage on the power module and LED's show the status of the output
voltage.
