Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/NFPA 72/ANSI, Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1 and with all local codes and authorities having jurisdiction.
Product is intended for indoor use only.
1. Attach wall mounting brackets to the enclosure as shown on
Fig. 1 and Fig. 1a.
2. Mount unit in the desired location. Mark and predrill holes in
the wall to line up with mounting hardware included with the
product; level and secure. Mark the position of the lower
two holes. Drill the lower holes and install two fasteners.
Install the two lower screws and make sure to tighten all
screws (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 12).
Secure enclosure to earth ground using ground stud inside.
3. Set the unit to the desired DC output voltage by setting
SW1 (Fig. 2b, pg. 6) to the appropriate position prior to
Spacer
energizing (Power Supply Output Specification Chart, pg. 3).
4. Connect AC power (115VAC-220VAC 50/60Hz) to the
terminals marked [L, N] (Fig. 2a). Green "AC" LED on power
supply board will turn on (Fig. 2c). This light can be seen
through the window on the door of the enclosure.
5. Battery Interface Module is factory connected to power
Flanged Nut M8
supply board. Connect batteries individually to terminals
[Positive] and [Negative] Battery 1 though Battery 4 of
Threaded Stud
either "12V Section" or "24V Section", depending on the
Copper Male M8x40
application. See Fig. 3, pg. 7 for detailed explanation.
See Stand-by Specifications, pg. 2 for compatible batteries.
6. Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.
Connect devices to the terminals marked [+ DC –] (Fig. 2, pg. 6).
When servicing the unit, AC mains should be removed and battery disconnected.
7. Connect Altronix Annunciator to AC FAIL, Low Bat ,Charger Fail, Component Fail and, optionally, Ground Fault
(CommBatt1F only, Fig. 2a, pg. 6) supervisory relay outputs. If end of line resistor is used it has to be connected
between EOL and corresponding [Com] terminals with field wiring connected between NC and NO teminals.
8. FACP Relay Connection: Connect UL Listed EOL resistor recommended for specific FACP to
terminlals [EOL] and [C]. Connect FACP EOL superwised input to terminals [NO] and [NC]. This connection is
needed if the Annunciator FACP terminals are not used. The trouble condition will be reported in case of any
of the failures in Step 7.
9. Please ensure that the cover is secured with the provided lock.
For wiring entering and exiting the enclosure UL Listed/Recognized Type 4X/IP68 rated hardware is to be
employed. See Fig. 4, pg. 8 for recommended location of openings. Use appropriate tools recommended by the
manufacturer to drill the enclosure. Make sure hole diameters correspond to those recommended by the specific
hardware manufacturer. Follow hardware manufacturer's instructions in order to maintain Type 4/4X rating.
It is recommended to use separate entry points for non power-limited wiring (AC input, Batteries and DC output) and
power-limited low voltage wiring (trouble relays contacts). 0.25" spacing between power-limited and non power-
limited circuits is to be provided. Use 14 AWG or larger for all power connections (AC, Battery, DC Output). For other
connections 18-22AWG wire can be used.
