Page 1 AL1024NKA8 Series Dual Output Access Power Controllers Models Include: AL1024NKA8 - 12VDC or 5VDC up to 6A and/or 24VDC up to 10A (240W total power) selectable by output. - Eight (8) fuse protected outputs. - Eight (8) selectable Fail Safe, Fail-Secure or Form “C” dry outputs...
Page 2 Access Power Controller’s dual input design allows power to be steered from two (2) factory installed independent low voltage 12 or 24VDC Altronix power supplies to eight (8) independently controlled fuse (AL1024NKA8) or PTC (AL1024NKA8D) protected outputs. Power outputs can be converted to dry form “C” contacts. Outputs are activated by an open collector sink, normally open (NO), normally closed (NC) dry trigger input, or wet output from an Access Control System, Card Reader, Keypad, Push Button, PIR, etc.

15. Installation of tamper switch: Mount UL Listed tamper switch (Altronix model TS112 or equivalent) at the top of the enclosure. Slide the tamper switch bracket onto the edge of the enclosure approximately 2” from the right side (Fig. 6a, pg. 8).
Page 6: Maintenance
Maintenance: 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. Battery Test: Under normal load conditions check that the battery is fully charged, check specified voltage both at the battery terminal and at the board terminals marked [–...
