Maintenance; Led Diagnostics - Altronix AL400ULB Manual

4. Connect devices to be powered to the terminals marked
[+ DC – ] (Fig. 1).
5. Measure output voltage before connecting devices.
This helps avoiding potential damage.
6. For Access Control applications batteries are optional.
When batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in the
loss of output voltage. When the use of stand-by batteries
is desired, they must be lead acid or gel type.
Connect battery to the terminals [– BAT +] (Fig. 1) as
marked on the unit (battery leads included).
Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in series for
24VDC operation.
7. Connect supervisory trouble reporting devices to the
outputs marked [LOW BAT, AC FAIL] supervisory relays
marked [NC, NO, C ] (Fig. 1).
Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG for AC Fail and Low Battery reporting.
Unit should be tested at least once a year for the proper operation as follows:
Output Voltage Test: Under normal load conditions the DC output voltage should be checked for proper voltage level
(Power Supply Output Specifications Table).
Battery Test: Under normal load conditions check that the battery is fully charged, check specified voltage both
at the battery terminal and at the board terminals marked [- BAT +] to ensure that there is no break in the battery
connection wires.
Note: Maximum charging current under discharges is 1.25 amp.
Note: Expected battery life is 5 years; however, it is recommended changing batteries in 4 years or less if needed.

Function/Description
Low voltage (28VAC) transformer connections.
12VDC @ 4 amp or 24VDC @ 3 amp continuous power-limited output.
Indicates loss of AC power, e.g. connect to audible device or alarm panel. Relay normally ener-
gized when AC power is present. Contact rating 1 amp @ 30VDC.
Indicates low battery condition, e.g. connect to alarm panel. Relay normally energized when DC
power is present. Contact rating 1 amp @ 30VDC.
Stand-by battery connections. Maximum charge current 1.2 amp.
