The AL300ULXB2 should be installed in accordance with article 760 of The National Electrical Code or NFPA 72, as well as all applicable
Local Codes.
1. Mount the AL300ULXB2 in the desired location/enclosure (mounting hardware included).
2. Set the AL300ULXB2 to the desired DC output voltage by setting SW1 (Fig. 2, pg. 2) to the appropriate position
(refer to Power Supply Voltage Output Selections chart).
3. Connect AC power (115VAC / 60Hz) to the terminals marked [L, G, N] (Fig. 2, pg. 2). Use 18 AWG or larger for all power
connections (Battery, DC output, AC input). Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG for power-limited circuits (AC Fail/Low Battery reporting).
Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited wiring (115VAC / 60Hz Input, Battery Wires).
Minimum 0.25" spacing must be provided.
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.
4. Connect devices to be powered to the terminals marked [+ DC –] (Fig. 2, pg. 2).
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.
5A 250V
L G N
When the use of stand-by batteries is desired, they must be lead acid or gel type. Connect battery to the terminals marked [+ BAT –]
(Fig. 2, pg. 2). Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in series for 24VDC operation (battery leads included).
7. Connect appropriate signaling notification devices to AC FAIL & BAT FAIL (Fig. 2, pg. 2) supervisory relay outputs.
Note: When used in fire alarm, burglar alarm or access control applications, "AC Fail" relay should be utilized to visually indicate that AC
power is on. To delay report for 6 hours cut "AC Delay" jumper (Fig. 2a, pg. 2).
