PS-33
INSTALLATION MANUAL
INTRODUCTION and KEY FEATURES
The PS-33 is a power supply that serves as a spare part for the
AC-225; it replaces the existing power supply and provides
power to the AC-225 board, readers, and electric locks, as
well as battery charging for power backup.
The PS-33 does not require programming. It comes with a
battery charger (up to 7Ah), Tamper Output, and two
separated power supplies.
The PS-33 power supply converts a 16VAC input from the
voltage transformer to a 12 VDC power limited output (see
specification) with an integrated battery charger.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
The power supply should be installed in accordance with
article 760 of the National Electrical Code NFPA 70, as well as
applicable Local Codes.
Note: Circuit breaker must be close to the power supply and must be
accessible.
1.
Mount the Power Supply.
2.
Connect AC power (16VAC) to the power supply input.
The power supply output is rated at 12VDC and a
maximum of 2A. Use 18 AWG or larger for all power
connections (battery, DC output).
3.
Connect the grounding to the ground terminal.
Make sure to secure the screw tightly.
4.
Connect the ACU power input to the power terminal
marked [12VDC (+) and 2A (-)].
5.
Backup battery is optional. When battery is not used, loss
of AC results in the loss of output voltage. When using a
backup battery, it must be a UL certified "lead acid" or
"gel" type. Connect the battery terminal to power
terminal marked [VBAT(+) and (-)].
(Battery leads are included.)
WIRING
Use 18 AWG or larger for all power connections.
Ensure that the power-limited circuit is wired separately from
the non-power limited wiring (16 VAC, Battery).
MAINTENANCE
For proper operation, the unit should be tested at least once
a year as described below:
Output voltage test:
Check DC output for proper voltage level under normal load
conditions.
Battery test:
Check specified voltage, at both battery terminal and board
terminals marked [VBAT(+)(-)] under normal load conditions,
verify that the battery is fully charged, and ensure that there is
no break in the battery connection wires.
Note: Maximum charging current under discharge is 1.2A.
Note: Battery life expectancy is five years .However, it is recommended to
change batteries after four years, or before, if required.
Dispose of used batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.
