OVERVIEW
The LifeSafety Power PCLASS line of Unified Power Systems was designed as an all in one solution, providing power to Paxton control-
lers, locks, and auxilliary devices while also providing predrilled mounting holes for mounting the controllers within the same enclosure,
simplifying and streamlining the installation. This application note will cover the basic wiring required between the power system and the
Paxton NET2 Series of controllers and assumes a basic working knowledge of LifeSafety Power equipment and Paxton control panels.
The included illustrations show a NET2 Plus board - consult the Paxton instruction manual for the NET2 board being used for terminal
locations.
CONTROLLER POWER
Some NET2 boards require a 12VDC source for power - connection to 24VDC will cause immediate damage. Because of this, most
Paxton power systems using 12V boards will need to be dual voltage (utilizing either two FPO power supplies or an FPO with a B100) to
allow for 12V system power and 24V locking devices. Some Paxton controllers, like the NET2 Plus modules, will accept 12 or 24VDC.
Always consult the manual of the Paxton boards being used to verify the operating voltage range.
Power for the NET2 controller boards should ideally be taken from an available D8 output, or if necessary directly off the FPO or B100
main output terminals.

- Page 1 OVERVIEW The LifeSafety Power PCLASS line of Unified Power Systems was designed as an all in one solution, providing power to Paxton control- lers, locks, and auxilliary devices while also providing predrilled mounting holes for mounting the controllers within the same enclosure, simplifying and streamlining the installation.
- Page 2 APPLICATION NOTE AN-05 Paxton NET2 ACCESS POWER LOCK POWER The NET2 controllers provide dry relay outputs for controlling locks. To provide power to the locks a D8, F8, C8, or M8 may be used as shown below. Locks Powered by a D8 Module For the lowest-cost solution, the output relays of the NET2 modules may be used to directly control the locks, using a D8 for power.
- Page 3 APPLICATION NOTE AN-05 Paxton NET2 ACCESS POWER Locks Powered by an F8 Module If FAI control of the locks is desired in a dual voltage system, an F8 module may be used. Each output of the F8 may be selected for constant output, or FAI controlled output at either 12V or 24V (when used with a dual voltage system).
- Page 4 APPLICATION NOTE AN-05 Paxton NET2 ACCESS POWER Locks Powered By An M8 or C8 The C4, C8, or M8 board acts as a "buffer" between the Paxton output relays and the high current locks. In this scenario, the Paxton controller only switches the low-current input of the C4/C8/M8, while the high current switching is handled by the C4/C8/M8, prolonging the life of the relays in the Paxton controller.
- Page 5 APPLICATION NOTE AN-05 Paxton NET2 ACCESS POWER MISCELLANEOUS There are some miscellaneous items which may be wired between the FPO power system and the NET2 modules. Tamper Switch Wiring The normally closed (NC) tamper switch on the FPO power supply's enclosure may be monitored by the Paxton system as shown below.
