Altronix AL125ULB Quick Start Manual

AL125ULB is a power-limited power supply/charger that converts a low voltage AC input into two individually PTC
protected 12VDC or 24VDC outputs (see specifications). They are intended for use in applications requiring UL
Listing for Access Control (UL 294) and applications requiring an interface with Fire Alarm Control Panels.
Agency Listings:
• UL Recognized component.
• NFPA 101 (Life Safety).
Input Rating:
• 24VAC/40VA.
Output Rating:
• 12VDC or 24VDC selectable,
Class 2 Rated power-limited outputs.
• 1A total supply current @ 12VDC or 24VDC.
• Filtered and electronically regulated output.*
*Note:
When unit is powered by battery back up (AC Fail condition), the voltage range is 9.3V-13.2V and
19.55V-26.4V for 12 and 24 volt operation respectively.

The units should be installed in accordance with article 760 of The National Electrical Code and NFPA 72 as
well as all applicable Local Codes.
See Terminal Identification Chart on page 2 for a description of each terminal function.
1. Mount unit in the desired location/enclosure (mounting hardware included).
2. Connect 24VAC from a UL Listed 40VA plug-in transformer to the terminals marked [XFMR].
Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited wiring
(115VAC 50/60Hz Input, Battery Wires). Minimum 0.25" spacing must be provided.
3. Measure output voltage before connecting any devices to ensure proper operation.
Improper or high voltage will damage these devices.
4. Set the desired DC output voltage by setting switch SW2 (Fig. 1a - Application Diagram, pg. 2) to the
appropriate position (Power Supply Output Specifications Table, pg. 1).
5. Connect Fail-Safe locking devices to the terminals marked [COM – and LOCK +]. Connect Fail-Secure
locking devices to the terminals marked [COM – and STRIKE +] (Fig. 1 - Application Diagram, pg. 2).
6. Connect normally open access control device (i.e. cardreader, request to exit device, access control system)
to the terminals marked TRG INPUT [NO, GND] (Fig. 1 - Application Diagram, pg. 2).
