eFlowNA8V Series Installation Guide

Overview:
Altronix eFlowNA8V Series units distribute and switch power to access control systems and accessories. They convert a 220VAC (working range 198VAC - 256VAC), 50/60Hz input into eight (8) independently controlled 12VDC or 24VDC fuse protected outputs. These power outputs can be converted to dry form "C" contacts. Outputs are activated by an open collector sink or normally open (NO) dry trigger input from an Access Control System, Card Reader, Keypad, Push Button, PIR, etc. Units will route power to a variety of access control hardware devices including: Mag Locks, Electric Strikes, Magnetic Door Holders, etc. Outputs will operate in both Fail-Safe and/or Fail-Secure modes. The FACP Interface enables Emergency Egress, Alarm Monitoring, or may be used to trigger other auxiliary devices. The fire alarm disconnect feature is individually selectable for any or all of the eight (8) outputs.

Slide the tamper switch bracket onto the edge of the enclosure approximately 2" from the right side (Fig. 3a, pg. 9). Connect tamper switch wiring to the Access Control Panel input or the appropriate UL Listed reporting device. To activate alarm signal open the door of the enclosure.
15. Multiple power supply inputs (Fig. 2, pg. 8): When using an additional Listed external power supply, jumpers J1 and J2 located on corresponding ACM8 board must be cut (Fig. 2c, 2d, pg. 8 and Fig. 5, pg. 11). Connect external Listed power-limited access control power supply to the terminals marked [­ Control +] (These terminals are paralleled to the [­ Power +] terminals). When using DC power supplies, polarity must be observed. When using AC power supplies, polarity needs not be observed (Fig. 2d, pg. 8). All field wiring connections must be made employing suitable gauge CM or FPL jacketed wire (or equivalent substitute) (Fig. 4a, pg. 10).

Maintenance:

Unit should be tested at least once a year for the proper operation as follows:

FACP Supervision: To ensure proper connection and operation of the Fire Alarm disconnect hookup please

follow the appropriate procedure below:

Normally Open Input: Placing a short between terminals marked [T] and [+ INP] will trigger the Fire

Alarm Disconnect. Remove the short to reset.

Normally Closed Input: Removing the wire from terminal marked [INP ­] will trigger the Fire Alarm

Disconnect. Replace the wire to terminal marked [INP ­] to reset.

FACP Signal Circuit Input: It is necessary to trigger the Fire Alarm System. In all of the above scenarios

the green TRG LED of the ACM8 will illuminate. All outputs selected for Fire

Alarm Disconnect will activate releasing locking devices.

Note: All outputs [OUT 1 - OUT 8] must be in a normal (de-energized) condition prior to testing. When the

unit is configured for Normally Open (Fig. 8, pg. 10) or Normally Closed (Fig. 10, pg. 10) latching operation,

it is necessary to reset the Fire Alarm Disconnect by activating the Normally Closed reset switch.

Output Voltage Test: Under normal load conditions the DC output voltage should be checked for proper

voltage level (refer to eFlowNA8V series Configuration Chart, pg. 3).

Battery Test:

Under normal load conditions check that the battery is fully charged, check specified

voltage at the battery terminals and at the board terminals marked [­ BAT +] to

ensure that there is no break in the battery connection wires.

Note: Maximum charge current is 1.54A.

Expected battery life is 5 years; however, it is recommended to change batteries within 4 years or less if necessary.

CAUTION: When power supply board is set for 12VDC use only one (1) 12VDC stand-by battery. Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited. Use minimum 0.25" spacing. 12AH Rechargeable batteries are the largest batteries that can fit in this enclosure. A UL listed external battery enclosure must be used if using the 40AH or 65AH batteries.

NEC Power-Limited Wiring Requirements for eFlowNA8V Models:
Power-limited and non power-limited circuit wiring must remain separated in the cabinet. All power-limited circuit wiring must remain at least 0.25" away from any non power-limited circuit wiring. Furthermore, all power-limited circuit wiring and non power-limited circuit wiring must enter and exit the cabinet through different conduits. One such example of this is shown below. Your specific application may require different conduit knockouts to be used. Any conduit knockouts may be used. For power-limited applications use of conduit is optional. All field wiring connections must be made employing suitable gauge CM or FPL jacketed wire (or equivalent substitute).

Optional UL Listed battery enclosure must be mounted adjacent to the power supply via Class 1 wiring methods. For Canadian installations use shielded wiring for all connections. Note: Refer to wire handling drawing below for the proper way to install the CM or FPL jacketed wire (Fig. 4a).
