Pach and Company AeGIS 8000 Series Manual - Manual (Page 13)

POWER
A 12 VAC 40VA transformer is supplied by Pach and Company. However, 12 VDC 40VA power supply can be used to power
the AeGIS 8000 Series use the same connection as shown on figure 2.1. The DC output must be between 13.5 VDC-14.0
VDC, if the output is less than the range specified, the relay will not work and the door will not function properly.
• Two conductors, 18-gauge wire. See installation instruction if ASP1 Surge Protector is used.
• DO NOT SHARE POWER TRANSFORMER to power the AeGIS 8000 Series and other equipment, to do so will
damage the system. DO NOT USE ONE TRANSFORMER TO POWER MULTIPLE AeGIS SYSTEM.
• Turn the power "ON" (left position). The Power Light Emitting Diode (LED2) should be "ON". You should see a
Welcome message on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), if you do not see the Welcome message, turn the system
immediately and see the trouble shooting guide.
• If 12 VDC 40VA with or without built-in battery backup is used, the output voltage must be 13.5 VDC - 14.0
VDC. If the voltage output is lower than the range specified, the door or gate will not function properly.
BATTERY BACKUP
An optional battery backup can be installed to keep the system in full operation during the power failure. The AeGIS 8000
Series have built-in charging circuit for battery backup. Recommended battery is ABAT1 (12 VDC, 4.5 Ahr) rechargeable.
The life of the battery is approximately 8 -10 hours in idle mode. Replace the battery every three years.
• Use two conductors 18-gauge wire.
WARNING: The connection is polarity sensitive. Connect the battery (+) terminal to the connector labeled (BAT) on the
AeGIS 8000 Series and the battery (-) terminal to the connector labeled LCOM on the AeGIS. See figure 2.1 for
wiring diagram.
NIGHT LIGHT
The night-lights are factory prewired as shown on Fig 2.1. There are four 14V 0.080A 15,000 Average life hours light bulbs or
super bright LED. Replace the light bulb with the same rating. If the system comes with super bright LED, you must call the
manufacturer for the replacement.
HEATER PAD
An optional heater pad (12 VAC/12VDC 10 Watts) must be installed if the surrounding temperature is 32 •F or less to keep
the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) in operation. The same transformer (12 VAC 40VA) is used to power the heater pad. The
heater pad has built-in thermostat (ON if the temperature is below 55.4 •F).
WARNING: Measure the input voltage after installing the heater pad. The input voltage must be between 12.5-13.5 VAC or
13.5 VDC-14.5VDC if 12 VDC power supply is used.
