Installation Instructions:
The AL600ULB 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 AL600ULB in the desired location/enclosure.
2. Set the AL600ULB to the desired DC output voltage by setting SW1 to the appropriate position
(refer to Power Supply Output Selection chart).
3. Connect two (2) 28VAC/100VA transformers (connected in parallel) to the terminals marked [AC].
Use 14 AWG or larger for all power connections (Battery, DC output, AC input).
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).
Minimum 0.25” spacing must be provided.
4. Measure output voltage before connecting device. This helps avoiding potential damage.
5. Connect devices to be powered to the terminals marked [+ DC –] (Fig. 1, pg. 2).
When servicing the unit, AC mains should be removed.
6. 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 the terminals marked [+ BAT –] (Fig. 1, pg. 2).
7. Connect appropriate signaling notification devices to [AC FAIL & BAT FAIL] (Fig. 1, pg. 2) supervisory relay outputs.
