Maximal Rack Access Power Controllers (Fused) Installation Guide
- 3 -
Overview:
Altronix Maximal Rack Mount Series units distribute and switch power to access control systems and accessories.
They convert a 115VAC, 50/60Hz input into eight (8) or sixteen (16) independently controlled 12VDC and/or
24VDC fuse protected outputs. Outputs are activated by a normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) dry trigger
input from an Access Control System, Card Reader, Keypad, Push Button, PIR, etc. Units will route power to a
variety of access control hardware devices including: Mag Locks, Electric Strikes, Magnetic Door Holders, etc.
Outputs will operate in both Fail-Safe and/or Fail-Secure modes. The FACP Interface enables Emergency Egress,
Alarm Monitoring, or may be used to trigger other auxiliary devices. The fire alarm disconnect feature is individually
selectable for any or all of the outputs (see chart below).
