DESCRIPTION
The NP-AMOD8 is an access power controller that dis-
tributes one (1) 12-24 volt AC or DC input over eight
(8) independently controlled (and fuse protected) out-
puts. In addition, these 8 outputs can be configured as
dry form "C" contacts. The outputs are activated by an
open collector sink or normally open (NO) dry trigger
input from a Card Reader, Access Control System,
Push Button, Keypad, PIR, etc. It will direct power to
many access control hardware devices including Elec-
tric Strikes, Magnetic Locks and Door Holders, etc.
Outputs operate in both fail-secure and fail-safe
modes. The NP-AMOD8 can be powered by one com-
mon power source that provides power for both the
locking devices and board operation, or two totally in-
dependent power sources, one supplying power for
lock / accessory power and the other for board opera-
tion. The FACP Interface enables Alarm Monitoring,
Emergency Egress, HVAC Shutdown, Elevator Recall
or can be used to trigger other auxiliary devices. The
fire alarm disconnect can be configured for the follow-
ing modes: Eight (8) outputs unaffected (Fail Safe) or
Eight (8) outputs affected (Fail Secure). Each output is
independent controlled.
FEATURES
•
12 to 24volt AC or DC Operation (setting not required).
(.5amp @ 12volt, .22amp @ 24volt current consumption
with all relays energized).
•
Power supply input options:
a) One (1) common power input (board and lock power).
b) Two (2) isolated power inputs (one (1) for board
power and one (1) for lock power).

Input options:
a) Eight (8) normally open (NO) inputs.
b) Eight (8) open collector sink inputs.
c) Any combination of the above.
•
Eight (8) independently controlled outputs.
Output options:
a) Eight (8) fail-Safe and/or fail-Secure power outputs.
b) Eight (8) dry form "C" 5 amp rated relay outputs.
c) Any combination of the above.
•
Eight (8) auxiliary power outputs (unswitched).
•
Output fuses are rated 3. amp.
•
Main fuse is rated at 10 amp.
Note:
Total output current
is determined by the power supply, not to exceed a maxi-
mum of 10 amp total.
•
Red LEDs indicate outputs are triggered (relays ener-
gized).

Fire Alarm disconnect input options:
a) Normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) dry con-
tact input.
b) Polarity reversal from FACP signal circuit.
Fire Alarm disconnect output options:
a) Eight (8) outputs affected.
b) Eight (8) outputs unaffected .
•
FACP output relay (form "C" contact rated @ 1 amp
28VDC not evaluated by UL).
•
Green LED indicates when FACP disconnect is triggered.
•
Removable terminal blocks facilitate ease of installation.
Board Dimensions: 203.2mm L x 114.3mm W x 45mm H
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Mount NP-AMOD8 in desired location/enclosure.
Note:
Keep power limited wiring separate from non-
power limited wiring (115VAC / 60Hz Input, Battery
wires). Minimum .25" spacing must be provided.

Power supply input:
The NP-AMOD8 can be powered with one (1) power
supply which will provide power for both board op-
eration and the locking devices or two (2) separate
power supplies, one (1) to provide power for the
board operation and the other to provide power for
the locking devices.
Note:
The input power can be either 12 to 24 volts
AC or DC (.5amp @ 12volt, .22amp @ 24volt current
consumption with all relays energized).
(a) Single power supply input:
If the NP-AMOD8 and the locking devices are to be
powered using a single power supply, connect the
output (12 to 24 volts AC or DC) to the terminals
marked [- ].
(b) Multiple power supply inputs :
When the use of two power supplies is desired,
