FACP Dry form “C” output (Fig. 2b, pg. 7):
FACP form “C” contacts can be use to trigger reporting or signaling devices . These contact switch
upon a fire alarm input trigger to the ACM8 boards .
10 .
Stand-by Battery Connections (Figs. 3-7, pgs. 8-12):
For Access Control applications batteries are optional . If batteries are not used a loss of AC will result in
the loss of output voltage . Batteries must be lead acid or gel type . Connect one (1) 12VDC battery to the
terminals marked [+ BAT –] for 12VDC operation (Fig. 3a, pg. 8) . Use two (2) 12VDC batteries wired in
series for 24VDC operation .
11 .
Battery and AC Supervision outputs (Figs. 3-4, pgs. 8-9):
It is required to connect supervisory trouble reporting devices to outputs marked [AC Fail, BAT FAIL]
supervisory relay outputs marked [NC, C, NO] to appropriate visual notification devices .
Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG for AC Fail and Low/No Battery reporting .
12 .
Installation of tamper switch (Not Included) (Figs. 3b-4a, pgs. 8-9):
Mount UL Listed tamper switch (Honeywell Model 112 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 (Figs. 3b
and 4a, pgs. 8-9) . Connect tamper switch wiring to the Access Control Panel input or the appropriate UL
Listed reporting device . To activate alarm signal open the door of the enclosure .
Maintenance:
Unit should be tested at least once a year for the proper operation as follows:
FACP Supervision:
To ensure proper connection and operation of the Fire Alarm disconnect
hookup please follow the appropriate procedure below:
Normally Open Input:
Placing a short between terminals marked [T] and [+ INP] will trigger the
Fire Alarm Disconnect . Remove the short to reset .
Normally Closed Input:
Removing the wire from terminal marked [INP –] will trigger the Fire
Alarm Disconnect . Replace the wire to terminal marked [INP –] to reset .
FACP Signal Circuit Input: It is necessary to trigger the Fire Alarm System .
In all of the above scenarios the green TRG LED of the ACM8s will
illuminate . All outputs selected for Fire Alarm Disconnect will activate
releasing locking devices .
Note: All outputs [OUT 1 - OUT 8] must be in a normal (de-energized)
condition prior to testing . When the unit is configured for Normally Open
(Fig. 10, pg. 13) or Normally Closed (Fig. 12, pg. 14) latching operation it
is necessary to reset the Fire Alarm Disconnect by activating the
Normally Closed reset switch .
Output Voltage Test:
Under normal load conditions the DC output voltage should be checked
for proper voltage level
(Power Supply Board Stand-by Battery Specifications, pg. 7).
Battery Test:
Under normal load conditions check that the battery is fully charged, check
specified voltage at the battery terminals and at the board terminals marked
[+ BAT –] to ensure that there is no break in the battery connection wires .
Note: AL600XB220 and AL1012XB220 Power Supply Board maximum
charge current is 0 .7A .
AL1024XB2V Power Supply Board maximum charge current is 3 .6A .
Expected battery life is 5 years, however it is recommended to change
batteries within 4 years or less if necessary .
