Description
The PSX-M8/M8P power control modules add 8 zones to an
PSX power supply system for powering and monitoring locks,
cameras, or other critical devices . The PSX-M8/M8P MUST be
used with an PSX-NL4 network module . The PSX-M8/M8P ac-
cepts either one or two voltage sources, either of which are se-
lectable for output on a zone-by-zone basis . Each input is fully
programmable via software to accept a voltage, dry contact, or
open collector input . Each zone output is selectable via soft-
ware for FAI operation, constant output, maglock output, or
fail-safe or fail-secure doorstrike outputs . The suffix "P" added
to the model number denotes Class 2 Power Limited outputs .

PSX-M8/M8P Installation Manual
Regulatory Information
The equipment discussed within this manual has been tested
to the following standards:
• UL294, UL603, UL1076
• ULC S318, ULC S319
• CSFM Approved
Mounting the PSX-M8 Power Control Module
Mounting of the board to an enclosure is via the four
snap-in standoffs supplied .
1 . Locate the appropriate mounting holes in the enclosure
and snap the standoffs into the holes .
2 . Align the board mounting holes with the standoffs (be
sure the PC board is properly oriented) and snap the
board onto the standoffs .
3 . Connections to the module shall be completed within
the same room, not exceeding a length of 100 ft .
Class 2 power limited wiring must be seperated from non-power limited wiring by
a minimum of 1/4 inch and must use seperate knockouts.
• The installation and all wiring methods shall be in accordance with ANSI/
NFPA70 and all local codes.
For ULC compliance, installation and all wiring methods shall be in accordance
with the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1, Part I, Section 32 .
All input wiring to the module shall be located within the same room (90 ft).
