1. Route two wires between the AE-100 and the power transformer.
For power wire runs up to 100 feet, use 18 AWG, THHN 600-volt
•
insulated wire.
For power wire runs up to 200 feet, use 16 AWG, THHN 600-volt
•
insulated wire.
2. Connect the wires to the transformer. Connect the other
end of the wires to the AE-100

6
VAC
terminals.
Backup Battery
Use of a battery backup is optional. It will allow the AE-100 to operate for
short periods of time without AC power. The door or gate access device
must use some type of battery backup of its own for the entire system to
be functional.
A 1.2 amp/hour backup battery will fi t into the AE-100 case. If using a
larger external battery (up to 7 amp/hour capacity), protect the backup
battery inside a rain-tight NEMA enclosure suitable for the installation
and splice into the two AE-100 battery wires.
✦
NOTE:
A backup battery is not required to maintain the AE-100
programming memory during power outages.
1A. For an internal backup battery, place the battery
on the bottom of the AE-100 cabinet.
✦
NOTE:
UL Listing requires that the internal backup battery must
be secured to the cabinet with double-stick tape or by using another
secure method.
1B. For an external backup battery, cut off the two spade lugs from
the AE-100’s battery wires. Route two red and black 18 AWG
wires between the AE-100 and the backup battery location.
Splice and insulate the wires to the AE-100’s red and black
battery wires. OBSERVE POLARITY
!
Use the two spade lugs
from the AE-100 or new spade lugs to connect to the battery.
2. Connect the battery positive to the
RED
wire.
3
. Connect the battery negative to the
B
LACK
wire.
Earth Ground
For the best ground, use size 12 gauge solid wire or larger to connect
the AE-100 to an 8-foot copper ground rod. Locate the ground rod next
to the Power and Telephone company rods and bond the rods together
with a new clamp. Do not disturb the clamps installed by the Power or
Telephone Company. Alternately, connect to a cold water pipe for the
earth ground.
1. Connect the wire from the earth ground to the
AE-100’s
