Installation Instructions - Altronix Maximal1RHV Installation Manual

Important: Adjust output voltages and Fire Alarm Interface configuration before installing unit in the rack.
1. Separate bottom and top of the rack mount chassis by removing six (6) screws (Rack Mechanical Drawing and
Dimensions, pg. 11).
CAUTION: Do not touch exposed metal parts. Shut branch circuit power before installing or servicing equipment.
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer installation and servicing to qualified service personnel.
2. Set output voltage:
Select desired DC output voltage by setting SW1 on the power supply board(s) (Fig. 1a, pg. 6) to the
appropriate position (Output Voltage and Stand-by Specification Charts, pg. 5).
For Maximal33RV each set of eight (8) outputs can be set for 12VDC or 24VDC (example: eight (8) outputs @
12VDC and eight (8) outputs @ 24VDC).
3. Input trigger programming options:
The unit can be programmed to operate with either a normally open or normally closed input from access control
devices by setting switches SW3 on either the ACM8R-S or ACM16R-S board to the appropriate position
(Fig. 2b, pg. 6); OFF for a normally closed [NC] trigger input or ON for a normally open [NO] input.
4. Output programming options:
a. The outputs can be programmed to be either all Fail-Safe (i.e. mag locks), all Fail-Secure (i.e. electric strikes) or
any combination of each by setting the corresponding OUTPUT SELECT dip switches (1-8) on the ACM8R-S
board to the appropriate position; ON for Fail-Safe outputs or OFF for Fail-Secure outputs (Fig. 2a, pg. 6).
Note: the output configuration will follow the input trigger option
b. To enable the FACP Disconnect for an output the corresponding FIRE ALARM INTERFACE switch must be
in the ON position. To disable the FACP Disconnect the FIRE ALARM INTERFACE dip switches (1-8) on the
ACM8R-S/ACM16R-S board must be in the OFF position (Fig. 2a, pg. 6).
5. Fire Alarm Interface hookup options:
A normally closed [NC], normally open [NO] input or polarity reversal from an FACP signaling circuit will trigger
the selected outputs (Figs. 5-10, pg. 9). To program the Fire Alarm Interface set dip switches SW1 and SW2 on the
ACM8R-M board to the appropriate positions (Figs. 3a and 3b, pg. 7) (Fire Alarm Interface Switch Settings pg. 5).
6. Battery Connections:
For access control applications batteries are optional. If batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in the loss of
output voltage. When batteries are used, they must be lead acid or gel type. Connect one (1) battery to the terminals
marked [-- BAT + ] for 12VDC operation. Use two (2) 12VDC batteries wired in series for 24VDC operation. The rack
mount enclosure will not accommodate batteries. A separate battery enclosure is required.
Note: When using the Maximal33RV with battery backup two (2) separate batteries or sets of batteries must be used.
7. Battery and AC Supervision outputs:
Connect the appropriate notification signaling device to the terminals marked AC Fail and Battery Fail on the power
supply board(s) (Fig. 4a, pg. 8). Use 22AWG to 18AWG for AC Fail and Low/No Battery reporting.
8. Reassemble the bottom and top of rack mount chassis by fastening the six (6) screws.
(Rack Mechanical Drawing and Dimensions pg. 11).
9. Attach mounting brackets to rack mount Maximal for desired rack or wall installation (Fig. 11-13, pg. 10).
10. Mount in the desired rack location. Do not obstruct side air vents.
11. Set the power disconnect circuit breaker to the OFF position (Fig. 14a, pg. 11).
12. Plug power cord into a grounded 220VAC 50/60Hz receptacle (Fig. 14b, pg. 11).
13. Set the power disconnect circuit breaker to the ON position (Fig. 14a, pg. 11).
14. Measure the output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.
15. Set the power disconnect circuit breaker to the OFF position (Fig. 14a, pg. 11).
16. Input trigger connections:
Connect the Normally Open or Normally Closed input triggers from the access control devices to the removable
terminals marked [IN1 and GND] through [IN8 and GND] for Maximal1RHV and Maximal3RHV.
For Maximal1RV, Maximal3RV and Maximal33RV connect devices to the second set of terminals marked.
Make sure the devices match settings of SW3 in step 3 (Rack Mechanical Drawing and Dimensions pg. 11).
17. Output connections:
Connect the devices to be powered to the removable terminals marked [-- OUT1 + to -- OUT8 +] for Maximal1RHV
and Maximal3RHV. For Maximal1RV, Maximal3RV and Maximal33RV connect devices to the second set of
terminals marked [-- OUT1 + to -- OUT8 +] (Fig. 14c, pg. 11).
18. Fire Alarm Interface connection options:
a. Connect the FACP trigger input to the removable terminals marked FACP1 and FACP2. When using the polarity
reversal from an FACP signaling circuit, connect the negative [-] to the terminal marked FACP1 and the positive
to the terminal marked FACP2 (polarity is in alarm condition) (Rack Mechanical Drawing and Dimensions pg. 12).
b. For a latching fire alarm interface connect a normally [NO] reset switch to the removable terminals
marked [REST] and [GND] (Figs. 5-10, pg. 9).
19. Set the power disconnect circuit breaker to the ON position (Fig. 14a, pg. 11).
