- 4 - AL400ULX series
Installation Instructions (cont’d):
2. The power supply is pre-wired to the ground (chassis). Connect main incoming ground to the provided green
grounding conductor lead. ConnectunswitchedACpower(115VAC/60Hztoterminalsmarked[L,G,N]
(Fig. 1, pg. 3). 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.
ForFireAlarmapplicationstheoutputsare“SpecialApplications”onlyseelist(refer to Appendix A, pg. 6).
For other devices contact Underwriters Laboratories to insure compatibility.
3. Set the unit to the desired DC output voltage by setting SW1 (Fig. 1c, pg. 3) to the appropriate position
(Power Supply Voltage Output Specifications Chart, pg. 2).
4. Measureoutputvoltagebeforeconnectinganydevicestoensureproperoperation.Improperorhighvoltagewill
damage these devices. When servicing the unit, AC mains should be removed.
5. Connect devices to be powered:

carefully observing correct polarity.
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.
