1. ആമുഖം
The Altronix AL400ULACM is an 8-fused output power supply and access power controller designed to convert a 115V AC 60Hz input into independently controlled 12V DC or 24V DC outputs. It provides a total of 4 amp at 12VDC or 3 amp at 24V DC continuous supply current.
This unit is engineered to route power to various access control hardware devices, including magnetic locks, electric strikes, and magnetic door holders. Outputs can operate in both Fail-Safe and/or Fail-Secure modes, activated by an open collector sink or normally open (NO) dry trigger input from an access control system, card reader, keypad, push button, or PIR sensor.
The AL400ULACM can be powered by a single common power source for both board operation and locking devices, or by two independent power sources for separate board and lock/accessory power.

3.1 മൗണ്ടിംഗ്
Mount the unit securely to a wall or suitable surface using appropriate fasteners. The enclosure is designed for indoor use. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
3.2 വയറിംഗ് കണക്ഷനുകൾ
- എസി ഇൻപുട്ട്: Connect the 115V AC 60Hz power source to the designated input terminals on the power supply board. Ensure proper grounding.
- DC ഔട്ട്പുട്ടുകൾ: Connect your access control devices (mag locks, electric strikes, etc.) to the 8 fused DC output terminals. Each output is independently controlled.
- ട്രിഗർ ഇൻപുട്ടുകൾ: Connect your access control system, card reader, keypad, or other trigger devices to the appropriate trigger input terminals (open collector sink or NO dry contact).
- ബാറ്ററി ബാക്കപ്പ്: Install two 12VDC/12AH sealed lead acid or gel type batteries into the designated compartment at the bottom of the enclosure. Connect them according to the polarity markings for battery backup functionality.
- ഫയർ അലാറം വിച്ഛേദിക്കുക: If utilizing, connect the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) signaling circuit to the dedicated input for fire alarm disconnect functionality.

4. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ
Once properly installed and wired, the Altronix AL400ULACM operates automatically to provide regulated power to connected devices and manage access control functions.
4.1 Power Conversion and Distribution
The unit converts the incoming 115V AC to either 12V DC or 24V DC, depending on the configuration. This DC power is then distributed through the 8 fused outputs to your connected access control devices.
4.2 Access Control Integration
The outputs are controlled by external trigger inputs. When a valid trigger signal is received from your access control system (e.g., card swipe, keypad entry), the corresponding output will activate, powering or de-powering the connected locking device as configured (Fail-Safe or Fail-Secure mode).
4.3 ബാറ്ററി ബാക്കപ്പ് പ്രവർത്തനം
In the event of an AC power failure, the unit will automatically and seamlessly switch to battery backup power, ensuring continuous operation of your access control system without interruption or voltage drop. The built-in charger maintains the batteries when AC power is present.
4.4 Fire Alarm Disconnect
If connected to an FACP, the unit can be configured to disconnect power to specific outputs upon receiving a fire alarm signal, facilitating emergency egress as required by safety regulations.
5. പരിപാലനം
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your Altronix AL400ULACM unit.
- വിഷ്വൽ പരിശോധന: Periodically inspect the unit for any signs of physical damage, loose connections, or excessive dust accumulation.
- വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: Keep the enclosure and internal components clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down surfaces. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- ബാറ്ററി പരിശോധന: For units utilizing battery backup, regularly check the condition of the batteries. While the unit has battery supervision, it is good practice to visually inspect for swelling or leaks and test battery capacity periodically, especially after prolonged power outages. Replace batteries as needed, typically every 3-5 years.
- ഫ്യൂസ് പരിശോധന: If an output is not functioning, check the corresponding fuse on the 8-fused output board. Replace blown fuses only with fuses of the same type and rating (3.5 amp).
