Maintenance - Altronix ACMCB Series Installation Manual

(b) Auxiliary Power outputs (unswitched):
Connect positive (+) input of the device being powered to the terminal marked [C] and the negative (-) of the
device being powered to the terminal marked [COM]. Output can be used to provide power for card readers,
keypads, etc.
6. Input trigger options (Fig. 1, pg. 5):
(a) Normally Open [NO] input trigger:
Inputs 1-8 are activated by normally open or open collector sink inputs.
Connect devices (card readers, keypads, request to exit buttons etc.) to terminals marked [IN] and [GND].
(b) Open Collector Sink inputs:
Connect the access control panel open collector sink positive (+) to the terminal marked [IN] and the negative (-)
to the terminal marked [GND].
7. Fire Alarm Interface options (Figs. 4 through 8, pg. 8):
A normally closed [NC], normally open [NO] input or polarity reversal input from FACP signaling circuit will
trigger selected outputs. To enable FACP Disconnect for an output turn the corresponding switch [SW1-SW8] ON.
To disable FACP disconnect for an output turn the corresponding switch [SW1-SW8] OFF.
(a) Normally Open [NO] input:
For non-latching hook-up (Fig. 5, pg. 8). For latching hook-up (Fig. 6, pg. 8).
(b) Normally Closed [NC] input:
For non-latching hook-up (Fig. 7, pg. 8). For latching hook-up (Fig. 8, pg. 8).
(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 J3 must be cut (Fig. 4, pg. 8).
8. FACP Dry form "C" output (Fig. 1a, pg. 5):
Connect desired device to be triggered by the unit's dry contact output to the terminals marked [NO] and [C]
FACP for normally open output or the terminals marked [NC] and [C] FACP for normally closed output.
9. Battery Connections (Fig. 2, pg. 6):
For Access Control applications batteries are optional. If batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in the loss of
output voltage. Batteries must be lead acid or gel type. Connect one (1) 12VDC battery to the terminals marked
[- BAT +] for 12VDC operation. Use two (2) 12VDC batteries wired in series for 24VDC operation.
10. Battery and AC Supervision output (Fig. 2, pg. 6):
It is required to connect supervisory trouble reporting devices to outputs marked [AC Fail, BAT Fail] supervisory
relay outputs marked [NC, C, NO] to appropriate notification devices. Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG for AC Fail and
Low/No Battery reporting. Cut "AC delay" jumper to delay report for 6 hour.
Note: A tamper switch must be installed and connected to the appropriate notification device to report a
trouble condition when the enclosure door is open.
11. Multiple power supply inputs (Fig. 1, pg. 5):
When using two (2) power supplies jumpers J1 and J2 (located to the left of the power/control terminals) must
be cut (Fig. 1b, pg. 5 and Fig. 3 pg. 8). Connect power for the ACM8CB to the terminals marked [- Control +] and
connect power for the locking devices to the terminals marked [- Power +]. When using DC power supplies polarity
must be observed. When using AC power supplies polarity need not be observed.
Note: For UL compliance the additional power supply must be power-limited, UL Listed for Access Control
Systems and accessories.
Unit should be tested at least once a year for the proper operation as follows:
Output Voltage Test: Under normal load conditions the DC output voltage should be checked for proper voltage level
(Output Voltage and Stand-by Specification Charts, pg. 3).
Battery Test: Under normal load conditions check that the battery is fully charged, check specified voltage both at the bat-
tery terminals and at the board terminals marked [- BAT +] to ensure that there is no break in the battery connection wires.
Note: AL400ULXB2, AL600ULXB, AL1012ULXB (Power Supply Board) maximum charge current is 0.7 amp.
AL1024ULXB2 (Power Supply Board) maximum charge current is 3.6 amp.
Expected battery life is 5 years; however, it is recommended to change batteries within 4 years or less if necessary.
