CAUTION
Damage can occur when switched with DC output load.
Proper voltage must be confirmed before connecting
devices.
The AQD6 series are UL Listed and have additional supervisory
features:
Battery disconnect relay when battery(s) are depleted
Set of F
orm “C” relay contacts that indicate
AC power
failure
Set of F
orm “C” relay contacts
that indicate low battery(s)
DC Output is Class II power limited.
Depending on load, low battery trouble indicates 50
–
75% battery
capacity remaining. Input wiring to the unit should be enclosed
in conduit secured firmly to the enclosure. The AQD6 cannot be
used to power a mercantile bell.
Specifications

AC LED Indicator (Panel mounted on the enclosure door)
The AC indicator is a green LED. This LED off with AC at the terminals
would indicate a blown fuse link. A blown AC fuse link would indicate
catastrophic failure and must be returned to the factory for repair.
AC Input Voltage Selection
CAUTION
To prevent damage, the power supply board must be configured for
the proper voltage before applying line voltage.
NOTE:
Once the link is cut, there is no conversion back to 120 VAC.
There is a removable link located at the top right of the power supply
board. This link is cut and removed to convert to 240 VAC.
DC Output Voltage Selector Jumper
CAUTION
To prevent damage, the DC load and battery(s) connections are
removed before switching selector switch up or down.
The jumper is slightly left of center near the AC terminal block, and is
m
arked with “VOLTAGE SELECT 12V
/ 2
4V”. T
he jumper is moved to
the appropriate pins to configure the output voltage.
DC Outputs: 2P Terminal block
NOTE: There is up to a 10-second delay for initial turn on.

Output continuous current (UL rating) ............................................... 6A
Load regulation no load to max (no battery) ............................... ±0.2%
Output ripple full load ........................................................... 240 mV pp
Current Overload Short Circuit Protection ...................................... Yes
Thermal runaway Protection ........................................................... Yes
Power Limited Output with Thermal Protection for Models AQD6-8F,
AQD6-8C, AQD6-16F, AQD6-16C, AQD6-8F8R, and AQD6-8C1R.
Non power limited for Model AQD6
Current Overload and Thermal shutdown will auto-restart without
removing load.
Ambient operating temperature range ......................... -20oC to +50oC
Product was not evaluated at UL for outdoor use.

CAUTION
To avoid spark, AC must be applied before connecting battery cable
to battery.
Fault reporting relay rating: 32 VDC, 120 VAC, 1A
The battery charger is precision set to float charge 12V or 24V sealed or
wet lead acid batteries. A 12-inch battery cable assembly is provided
that plugs from module to battery: Red (+), Black (

40 AH
UL evaluated ..................................................................... 72AH
Battery(s) recharge ......................................................... 700 mA max
Battery(s) average recharging current ..................................... 250 mA
Battery(s) PTC self-resetting circuit breaker ............................. 6A PTC
Battery(s) Reverse hookup protection ..............................Yes, 4A PTC
To estimate the recharge time in hours for depleted battery(s), the AH
rating is multiplied by 4 (AH x 4). As an example, a 12V system with two
depleted 12V, 7 AH batteries would take about 28 hours to re-charge.

For ULC-S318-96 compliance, the power supply battery fail line must be
connected to and monitored by a control panel trouble zone.
NOTE 1:
The AQD6 uses a standard power supply enclosure, not an
attack proof’ enclosure. As such, the AQD6 shou
ld not be
used to power a mercantile bell.
NOTE 2:
When using a battery that is not housed inside the power
supply enclosure, the battery leads require protection from
the enclosure via the use of conduit.
NOTE 3:
When using the AQD6B in another enclosure, minimum
standard spacing between live electrical circuits shall be
taken into account.
