1 . Mount unit in the desired location . Mark and predrill holes in the wall to line up with the top three key
holes in the enclosure . Install three upper fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding .
Place the enclosure's upper keyholes over the three upper screws; level and secure . Mark the position of
the lower three holes . Remove the enclosure . Drill the lower holes and install the three fasteners . Place the
enclosure's upper keyholes over the three upper screws . Install the three lower screws and make sure to
tighten all screws (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 16) .
2 . The power supply is pre-wired to the ground (chassis) . Connect main incoming ground to the provided green
grounding conductor lead . Connect unswitched AC power (115VAC 60Hz) to the terminals marked [L, N]
on power supply board . Use 14 AWG or larger for all power connections .
Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited wiring.
Minimum 0.25" spacing must be provided (Figs. 5-7, pgs. 10-12).
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.
3 . Select desired DC output voltage by setting SW1 to the appropriate position on the Maximal3D power
supply, (Figs. 1 and 1a, pg. 7). Maximal5D power supply is factory set at 12VDC and Maximal7D power
supply is factory set at 24VDC .
4 . Measure the output voltage of the unit before connecting any devices to ensure proper operation .
Improper or high voltage will damage these devices .
5 . Output options (Fig. 2, pg. 7):
The unit will provide either sixteen (16) switched power outputs .
(a) Fail-Safe Switched Power outputs:
For Fail-Safe operation connect the positive (+) input of the access control devices to terminal
marked [NC] . Connect the negative (–) input of the access control devices to terminal marked [COM] .
(b) Fail-Secure Switched Power outputs:
For Fail-Secure operation connect the positive (+) input of the access control devices to terminal
marked [NO] . Connect the negative (–) input of the access control devices to terminal marked [COM] .
6 . Auxiliary Power outputs (unswitched):
Connect access control devices that require constant power to the terminals marked [C] positive (+) and
[COM] negative (–) .
7 . Input trigger options (Fig. 2, pg. 7):
(a) Normally Open [NO] input trigger:
Inputs 1-8 are activated by normally open or open collector sink inputs .
Connect access control panel outputs, keypads, push buttons, REX PIRs, etc . to terminals marked [IN]
and [GND] .
(b) Open Collector Sink inputs:
Connect the access control panel open collector sink positive (+) to terminals marked [IN] and the
negative (–) to terminals marked [GND] .
8 . Fire Alarm Interface options (Figs. 8-12, pgs. 13-14):
A normally closed [NC] or normally open [NO] input trigger from a fire alarm control panel or a polarity
reversal input from an FACP signaling circuit will affect selected outputs .
To enable FACP Disconnect for an output turn the corresponding switch(es) [SW1-SW8] OFF on each
ACM8CB board . To disable FACP disconnect for an output turn the corresponding switch(es) [SW1-SW8]
ON on each ACM8CB board .
(a) Normally Open [NO] input:
For non-latching hook-up refer to Fig. 9, pg. 13 . For latching hook-up refer to Fig. 10, pg. 13 .
(b) Normally Closed [NC] input:
For non-latching hook-up refer to Fig. 11, pg. 14 . For latching hook-up refer to Fig. 12, pg. 14 .
(c) FACP Signaling Circuit input trigger:
Connect the positive (+) and negative (–) from the FACP signaling circuit output to the terminals marked
[+ INP –] . Connect the FACP EOL to the terminals marked [+ RET –] (polarity is referenced in an alarm
condition) . Jumper located next to TRG LED must be cut (Fig. 2a, pg. 7 and Fig. 8, pg. 13) .
9 . FACP Dry form "C" output (Fig. 2b, pg. 7):
FACP form "C" contacts can be use to trigger reporting or signaling devices .
These contact switch upon a fire alarm input trigger to the ACM8CB boards .
