OVERVIEW
The LifeSafety Power PCLASS line of Unified Power Systems was designed as an all in one solution, providing power to Paxton control-
lers, locks, and auxilliary devices while also providing predrilled mounting holes for mounting the controllers within the same enclosure,
simplifying and streamlining the installation. This application note will cover the basic wiring required between the power system and the
Paxton NET2 Series of controllers and assumes a basic working knowledge of LifeSafety Power equipment and Paxton control panels.
The included illustrations show a NET2 Plus board - consult the Paxton instruction manual for the NET2 board being used for terminal
locations.
CONTROLLER POWER
Some NET2 boards require a 12VDC source for power - connection to 24VDC will cause immediate damage. Because of this, most
Paxton power systems using 12V boards will need to be dual voltage (utilizing either two FPO power supplies or an FPO with a B100) to
allow for 12V system power and 24V locking devices. Some Paxton controllers, like the NET2 Plus modules, will accept 12 or 24VDC.
Always consult the manual of the Paxton boards being used to verify the operating voltage range.
Power for the NET2 controller boards should ideally be taken from an available D8 output, or if necessary directly off the FPO or B100
main output terminals.
