Installation Instructions:
The AL1024ULXB2 should be installed in accordance with article 760 of The National Electrical Code as well as
NFPA 72 and all applicable Local Codes.
1. Mount the AL1024ULXB2 in the desired location/enclosure.
2. Connect unswitched AC power (115VAC 60Hz) to the terminals marked [L, N] (Fig. 1, pg. 2). Use 14 AWG or larger
for all power connections (Battery, AC input, DC output). Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG for power-limited circuits
(AC Fail/Low Battery reporting).
Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited wiring
(115VAC / 60Hz Input, Battery Wires). DC output Minimum 0.25” spacing must be provided.
3. Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.
4. Connect devices to be powered to the terminals marked [+ DC -- ] (Fig. 1, pg. 2).
5. For Access Control applications batteries are optional. When batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in the
loss of output voltage. When the use of stand-by batteries is desired, they must be lead acid or gel type. Connect
battery to terminals marked [-- BAT +] (Fig. 1, pg. 2).
6. It is required to connect appropriate signaling notification devices to AC FAIL & BAT FAIL (Fig. 1, pg. 2)
supervisory relay outputs. Use 22AWG to 18AWG wires. AC FAIL will report in 5 minutes.
To delay report 6 hours cut “AC Delay” jumper (Fig. 1a, pg. 2).
Maintenance:
Unit should be tested at least once a year for the proper operation as follows:
Output Voltage Test: Under normal load conditions, the DC output voltage should be checked for proper voltage level.
Battery Test: Under normal load conditions check that the battery is fully charged, check specified voltage both at
battery terminal and at the board terminals marked [-- BAT +] to ensure there is no break in the battery connection wires.
Note: Maximum charging current under discharge is 3.6 amp.
Note: Expected battery life is 5 years; however, it is recommended changing batteries in 4 years or less if needed.
