Specifications:

All of the above UL Listed Sub-Assembly Power Supply/Chargers can be installed in Trove1 and Trove2 Access and
Power Integration Systems and Maximal Series.
For UL603 applications, or if a power-limited output is required in the end-product application, the DC output from the power supply must be connected to a separately Listed control unit or accessory board that provides power-limited outputs. The product(s) providing the power-limited output(s) must be listed as appropriate for the particular end-product application (fire alarm, burglar alarm, access control) and wired in accordance with the product’s installation instructions. Class 1 wiring methods, separation of circuits, and proper fire-rated enclosures all must be considered when connecting the DC output of the power supply to the end-product devices. The auxiliary outputs of these units are
power-limited.

Specifications (cont’d):

Output:

• Filtered and electronically regulated output. Battery Backup:
• Built-in charger for sealed lead acid or gel type batteries.
• Automatic switch over to stand-by battery when AC fails.
• Zero voltage drop when switched over to battery backup.

Supervision:

• AC fails supervision (form “C” contacts).
• Low battery and battery presence supervision (form “C” contacts).

Visual Indicators:

• AC input, DC output, and BAT trouble LED indicators.
  Additional Features:
• Short circuit and thermal overload protection. Board Dimensions (L x W x H approximate):
  AL400ULXB2:
  7.1” x 4.5” x 1.44” (180mm x 114mm x 37mm).
  AL600ULXB:

Installation Instructions:

Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/NFPA 72/ANSI, the Canadian
Electrical Code and with all local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. The product is intended for indoor use only.

1. Refer to Sub-Assembly Installation Instructions for mounting Rev. MS020119.
2. Set desired DC output voltage by setting SW1 to the appropriate position on the power supply board (Fig. 1e, pg. 4).
3. Connect unswitched AC power (115VAC 60Hz) to the terminals marked [L, N] (Fig. 1a, pg. 4). Use 14 AWG or larger for all power connections (Battery, AC input, DC output). Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG for power-limited circuits (AC Fail/Low Battery reporting).
   Keep power-limited wiring separate from non-power-limited wiring (115VAC / 60Hz Input, DC Output (refer to Specifications Chart, pg. 2), Battery Wires). Minimum  0.25” spacing must be provided. CAUTION: Do not touch exposed metal parts. Shut branch circuit power before installing or servicing equipment. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer installation and servicing to qualified service personnel.
4. Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoid potential damage.
5. Connect devices to be powered to the terminals marked [+ DC –] (Fig. 1d, pg. 4).
6. For Access Control applications batteries are optional. When batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in the loss of output voltage. When the use of stand-by batteries is desired, they must be lead acid or gel type. Connect the battery to terminals marked [– BAT +] (Fig. 1c, pg. 4).
   Note: Separate enclosures must be used for housing 40AH or 65AH batteries.
   7. It is required to connect appropriate signaling notification devices to [AC FAIL] & [BAT FAIL] (Fig. 1b, pg. 4) supervisory relay outputs. Use 22AWG to 18AWG wires. AC fail will report in 5 minutes. To delay the report for 6 hours cut the “AC Delay” jumper (Fig. 1, pg. 4).

• Output Voltage Selection Dip Switch. Not applicable for AL1012ULXB and AL1024ULXB2.
• AL1012ULXB terminals marked [– DC +]
• AL1024ULXB2 terminals marked [– BAT +]

Wiring:

Use 18 AWG or larger for all low voltage power connections.
Note: Take care to keep power-limited circuits separate from non-power-limited wiring (120VAC, Battery).

Maintenance:

The 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, and check the specified voltage (12VDC @ 13.2 or 24VDC @ 26.4) both at the battery terminal and at the board terminals marked [– BAT +] to ensure that there is no break in the battery connection wires.
Replacing Batteries: Disconnect existing batteries. Connect the battery to the terminals marked [– BAT +]. Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in series for 24VDC operation.
