Powering the Board
Location On Board
This next section is for powering your Access Control board. This
board has minimal power requirements of only 100mA (
12vDC
) but it will
require extra power when connecting Readers and Push-to-Exit buttons. It is
recomended to use a NEMA box that can house the board and Power Supply.
We recommended using a 3 amp Power Supply to provide enough power for
all the additional equipment (excluding locks). Below is an explanation of how
to connect power to the board.
• +12vDC
: This port is the 12vDC input from the
Power Supply. It is typically a
Red
Wire.

- Power Boxes
• GRD
: This port is the Ground input from the
power supply. It is typically a Black Wire.

Choosing the right
power supply can be
tricky because you also
need a Box that can
power and house your
Access Control Board.
You also want to make
sure it includes other
features like Battery
Backup and Fire
Control.
