1. Mount unit in desired location. Mark and predrill holes in the wall to line up with the top two keyholes in
the enclosure. Install two upper fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding. Place the
enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two upper screws, level and secure. Mark the position of the lower two
holes. Remove the enclosure. Drill the lower holes and install the two fasteners. Place the enclosure’s upper
keyholes over the two upper screws. Install the two lower screws and make sure to tighten all screws
(Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 11)
. Secure enclosure to earth ground.
2. Connect unswitched AC power (120VAC 60Hz) to terminals marked [L, N]
(Fig. 3, pg. 9)
. Do not use
terminal marked [G]. Use 14 AWG or larger for all power connections. Secure green wire lead attached to the
chassis to earth ground. The AC LED (Green) will illuminate, indicating power is present. This light can be
seen through the LED lens on the door of the enclosure.
Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited wiring.
Minimum 0.25” spacing must be provided
(Fig. 3, pg. 9)
.
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.
3. Select desired DC output voltage by setting SW1 to the appropriate position on the power supply board
(eFlow4NA8 and eFlow6NA8)
(Fig. 1, pg. 8).
eFlow102NA8 power supply is factory set at 12VDC.
eFlow104NA8 power supply is factory set at 24VDC.
4. Measure the output voltage of the unit before connecting any devices to ensure proper operation.
Improper or high voltage will damage these devices.
5.
Output options
(Fig. 2, pg. 8)
:
The unit will provide either eight (8) switched power outputs, eight (8) dry form “C” outputs, or any
combination of both switched power and form “C” outputs.
(a) Fail-Safe Switched Power outputs:
For Fail-Safe operation connect the positive (+) input of the access control devices to terminal
marked [NC]. Connect the negative (–) input of the access control devices to terminal marked [COM].
(b) Fail-Secure Switched Power outputs:
For Fail-Secure operation connect the positive (+) input of the access control devices to terminal
marked [NO]. Connect the negative (–) input of the access control devices to terminal marked [COM].
(c) Form “C” outputs:
When form “C” outputs are desired, the corresponding output fuses (1-8) of each ACM8 board must
be removed.
6.
ACM8 Auxiliary Power outputs (unswitched):
Connect access control devices that require constant power to terminals marked [C] positive (+) and
[COM] negative (–). Outputs can be used to provide power for card readers, keypads etc.
eFlow Auxiliary outputs (unswitched):
For auxiliary device connection this output will not be affected by Low Power Disconnect or Fire Alarm
Interface. Connect device to terminals marked [+ AUX –]
(Fig. 3, pg. 9).
7.
Input trigger options
(Fig. 2, pg. 8)
:
(a) Normally Open [NO] input trigger:
Inputs 1-8 are activated by normally open or open collector sink inputs. Connect access control panel
outputs, keypads, push buttons, REX PIRs, etc. to terminals marked [IN] and [GND].
(b) Open Collector Sink inputs:
Connect the access control panel open collector sink positive (+) to terminals marked [IN] and the
negative (–) to terminals marked [GND].
