5. Connect battery to the terminals marked [+ BAT –] (battery leads included). 
  Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in series for 24VDC operation.
 

Note: 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 are desired, they must be lead acid or gel type. 
6.  Connect appropriate signaling notification devices to AC Fail supervisory relay outputs marked [NC, NO, C]. 
 

Note: To meet UL requirements, AC Supervisory outputs must be connected to the zone of Alarm Control 

  Panel or to visual AC trouble indicator. 
7.  For Access Control Device & Fire Alarm Interface connections refer to desired Application Diagrams (pg. 5-6) 
 and 

Terminal Identification Chart (pg. 3)

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 (see Power Supply Output Specifications Chart).

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 [+ BAT –] to 

 

ensure that there is no break in the battery connection wires.

Note:  

Maximum charging current under discharges is 400mA.

Note:  

Expected battery life is 5 years; however, it is recommended changing batteries in 

 

4 years or less if needed.

Terminal Identification:

Terminal Legend

Function/Description

TRG1 & TRG2

Connects to the normally closed outputs of an access control or fire alarm relay. 
These terminals control [LOCK +], and [], as well as AL175ULX output 
relay contacts [NC, NO, C].

LOCK +

Provides DC output voltage when [TRG1] and [TRG2] are shorted together and are 
typically used to power Mag Locks.

Provides DC output voltage when [TRG1] and [TRG2] are unshorted and are typically 
used to power Electric Strikes.

NC, NO, C

Isolated dry form “C” contacts. Shorting [TRG1] and [TRG2] together causes these 
contacts to switch. They are typically used for controlling multiple AL175ULXs with 
fire alarm tie-in (Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, pg. 6).

AUX +

Continuous positive (+) DC power output voltage. 
It is not affected by TRG1, TRG2 operation.

COM –

Common negative (–) output (ground). 

FACP

Spare wiring terminal used for fire alarm tie-in application (Fig. 4, pg. 6).

+ BAT –

Stand-by battery connections.

AC FAIL 
NC, C, NO

Indicates loss of AC, e.g connect audible device or alarm panel. 
Relay normally energized when AC power is present. Contact rating 1A @ 28VDC.
