Installation and Operation
1
Main AC Power Switch / Circuit Breaker
This is the main AC power switch for the enclosure . This switch
lights when power is on and also has a built-in circuit breaker rated
at 8A . If the circuit breaker trips, reset it by cycling the switch to off
then back to on .
2
AC Line Input
This is the connector for the AC line cord . Plug the included computer-
style line cord into this connector . Connect the other end of the cord to
the power strip inside the rack or another suitable AC power receptacle .
i
The RC Series is preconfigured for a 120VAC input. See sec
tion 1.3.2 to set for a 230VAC input.
3
Ethernet Connection
This is the RJ45 jack for the network connection for the optional
NetLink board . The ethernet cable is plugged into this jack . See Section
2 .4 and the corresponding NetLink manual for more information .
4
Field Wiring
These terminals provide the field wiring connections . Terminal
quantity and function varies based on configuration and the func-
tion is marked adjacent to each terminal . All rear terminal blocks
may be secured with the screw on either end of the block . These
terminals all accept AWG 12-22 .
• Controlled Outputs 1&2
— These are the zone outputs . The
RC Series is available with 8 or 16 outputs . The output numbers
correspond with the output zone numbers on the front panel . See
Section 1 .4 .1 for more information .
• Control Inputs 1&2
— These terminals are the inputs which
control the corre sponding outputs .These inputs accept a NO
or NC dry con tact, voltage, or open collector (transistor) input .
See #10 for configuring input type .
• D
istributed Outputs (Optional)
— Model numbers containing
D8 contain non-controlled distributed outputs in addition to the
controlled outputs . The output numbers correspond with the
output zone numbers on the front panel . See section 1 .4 .1 for
more information .
• Bat(±)
— This is where the battery connection is made . The
voltage of the battery set must match the voltage of the associ-
ated power supply . Dual power supply models will have two
independent battery connections . See Section 1 .41 for more
information .
• DC1(±)
—This is a bulk power output with the full power of
the associated power supply available on these terminals . Dual
power supply models will have two DC1 outputs . See Section
1 .4 .1 for more information .
• DC2(±)
—This is an FAI-controllable bulk power output with
the full power of the associated power supply available on these
terminals . Dual power supply models will have two DC2 outputs .
See Section 1 .4 .1 for more information .
• ACF & SF
— These terminals accept the optional FAI input for
controlling the DC2 outputs and any controlled output which has
FAI control enabled . See Section 1 .4 .1 for more information .
• V+, I+, I–, V–, L, L
—These terminals accept the optional FAI
input for controlling the DC2 outputs . See Section 1 .4 .1 for more
information .

Bus Selection
These jumpers select the output voltage for each output in dual voltage
systems . Single voltage systems should leave these jumpers in the DC1
(UP) Position . For dual voltage systems, selection is as follows:
• DC1 (UP) - FPO 1
• DC2 (DOWN) - FPO 2 or B100
6
Output Fuses
These are the fuses for each zone output . Each fuse corresponds to
the zone LED below it .
7
Fault Status LED (YELLOW)
This LED lights when the front board detects a fault condi tion . Fault
conditions reported by this LED include ruptured output fuse(s) or
improperly configured jumpers or switches . This LED does not in-
dicate problems with the internal power supply . See Section 3 .3 for
more information .
8
Output Status LEDs (GREEN)
These LEDs indicate the status of the zone’s output .
When Powering Lock Device:
PSX-ISUSE
• On - Steady Door Locked (Fuse or PTC Intact)
• Off - Fuse ruptured or jumper missing
• Flashing - Door unlocked due to input or FAI
PSX-ISU
• On - Steady Voltage Available at Output
• Off - Fuse ruptured or jumper missing
9
Output Selection (Front Board)
These switches are used to select a fail-safe or fail-secure output for
each zone . Switch 1 sets zone 1, switch 2 sets zone 2, and so on .
Set this switch so that the door is UNLOCKED when the zone output
LED is flashing (Zone Active) .
• ON (FAIL SECURE Output)
By setting this switch to ON, the
zone's output terminals will output a voltage when the zone
input is activated .
• OFF (FAIL SAFE Output)
By setting this switch to OFF, the
zone's output terminals will output a voltage when the zone in-
put is NOT active . This posi tion is typically used for Mag Locks .
bk
Input Selection (Rear Board)
These switches are used to select a normally open or normally
closed input for each zone . Switch 1 sets zone 1, switch 2 sets zone
2, and so on . Adjust this switch so that the zone's output LED is
FLASH ING when the door is unlocked .
• OFF (NC/Fail Safe)
Set this switch to OFF for a NC contact input
(contact OPENS to unlock door) or for a voltage input where the
voltage is REMOVED to unlock the door .
• ON (NO/Fail Secure)
Set this switch to ON for a NO contact
input (contact CLOSES to unlock door) or for a voltage input
where the voltage is APPLIED to unlock the door .
bl
FAI Selection (Rear Board)
These switches enable or disable FAI for the selected zone . Switch
1 sets zone 1, switch 2 sets zone 2, and so on .
• ON (FAI Enabled)
When this switch is set to ON, the zone's
output will invert when the FAI input is active . This is typically
used to drop power to maglocks on a fire alarm condition .
• OFF (FAI Disabled)
When this is set to OFF, FAI will have no
effect on the zone's output .
The following are basic descriptions . Refer to the appropriate section for more detailed information . Note that the front and
back panels may appear different based on the configuration of your system .
