Voltage Calculation Most remote power supplies require a minimum of 12V and a maximum of 18V to run (AC or DC). The remote power supply is rated at a 12VDC output at the stated amperage. Multiple power supplies may be required to compensate for voltage drop over extremely long runs of wire or runs with multiple remotes. Be sure that there is a minimum of 12V at each remote. The following table shows the resistance per foot of wire for the cable that we sell. If you are using another manufacturer’s wire, refer to the specifications provided by that manufacturer. We strongly recommend that you do NOT use wire gauges smaller than 18 AWG for power or data when installing our gate system. Larger gauges are acceptable (16, 14, 12, and 10). For documentation on calculating voltage drops, visit our web site at www.ptiaccess.com. AWG

Battery Backup Calculation Battery backup time is equal to the current draw (amps) multiplied by the amp hour rating of the battery. For example: if the system draws 2 amps and the battery is rated at 4 amp hours; the battery backup should last for 8 hours if the battery is fully charged and all other conditions are right (2 x 4 = 8). Certain external issues can influence this length of time, such as the age and condition of the battery, damage to the battery or power supply, power surges, and/or the level of charge in the battery. Also, each time the remote is used while the AC power is out reduces the total backup time as the current draw increases slightly when the keypad is in use. For the battery backup function to be effective, the gate or door strike must also have a separately powered battery backup.

Troubleshooting With LED Diagnostics There are two light emitting diodes (LEDs) on the power supply circuit board that can be used for troubleshooting. The red LED indicates DC power and the green LED indicates AC power. Red (DC)

Amperage Calculation

INTRODUCTION

Use the chart below to verify that you have enough amps to support the number of remote units to be installed. Do NOT exceed the 75% load for the power supply. It is always better to have a higher amp power supply than required as electronics will only pull the current that they need. Do not confuse amperage with voltage, which must not exceed the specifications. If you need assistance calculating your power needs, please contact technical support.

The Remote Power Supply converts 120 VAC power to 12VDC and is equipped with battery backup. The remote power supply comes in five sizes (1, 2, 4, 6, and 10 amp) based on the amperage needed to support the system. The power supplies also have a red reset button on the front which allows you to interrupt the power and battery backup to reset the entire system for troubleshooting purposes. Multiple power supplies can be used to fit the needs of the particular setup.

Example: 1A power supply (900 mA max load) can support three keypads equaling 900 mA OR one keypad and one 8-channel relay board totaling 800 mA. If you wanted to add any other remotes in either case, you would have to move to the next larger power supply OR add an additional 1A power supply. You would need a minimum of a 2A power supply to support two 8-channel relay boards (total 1000 mA). If you are unsure, always use the next size larger remote power supply. It is always better to have more available amps than less as a remote will only draw to its capacity and no more. * Do NOT exceed 75% of load. This provides a safety zone to allow for most power spikes/ surges without locking up or damaging the system. ** When powering other equipment such as door strikes, HID readers, maglocks, or sirens from a Wiegand, be sure to consider the current draw of that equipment.

Disclaimers and Warnings We strongly recommend that installation and setup of Chamberlain Access Solutions equipment be done by a certified, licensed, qualified, and competent person. Chamberlain Access Solutions can recommend local dealers and installers, but it is up to the customer to verify their qualifications and negotiate any pricing or contracts unless Chamberlain Access Solutions has been specifically contracted in writing to do so for the customer. With any computer setup or installation, some troubleshooting and adjustment of the configuration may be required. This will differ with every installation and computer setup depending on operating system, software installed, quality of components, internet connection, modem connection, and any site-specific variables. Troubleshooting and configuration may require purchasing additional equipment. Under no circumstances will Chamberlain Access Solutions be responsible for any damages either incidental or consequential based on these recommendations. All installation of electronics and electrical systems must be in compliance with local, municipal, and state codes, and the National Electrical Code.

Incorrect installation of electrical components can result in damage to electronics as well as personal injury. Cross-wiring the AC power with DC power will damage the electronics. Cross-wiring the positive and negative on the DC part of the system will damage the electronics. Connecting 120VAC directly to the power supply circuit board bypassing the transformer will damage the electronics.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The following are instructions for installing a Remote Power Supply to provide power for remote access devices. Please read this entire document before proceeding and follow the steps in order. Refer to the diagram on page 4 to reference the steps. If you need assistance or have questions about this installation, please contact technical support at (888) 528-7826 or [email protected]. 1. Mount the power supply case on the wall with solid anchoring devices. The power supply battery and circuit board should be left in the case as manufactured and not removed or installed separately. Power supply cases are not weatherproof and should be installed indoors. All power supplies for a site should be installed together, centrally located in the office or a maintenance room that will be accessible for future maintenance or service. Each power supply should be clearly labeled inside the cover to show which remotes are powered from it. If multiple power supplies are being installed, refer to the Multiple Power Supply Installation Guide available on our web site. Never power cameras, door strikes, or sirens from the same power supply as remote keypads and multiplexers as these items can cause power spikes, underpowering the other remotes. Power supplies should be installed near a 120 V wall outlet. 2. Feed the transformer cable through one of the four knockouts on the sides of the power supply case using the correct bushing. On 1 and 2 amp power supplies, connect the transformer cable to the AC terminal connections on the power supply circuit board. Spade connectors are required on all connections (do not wrap wires around terminal connections). The transformer cable should be 2-conductor cable with 18 gauge or larger conductors. Larger gauge wire may be required for longer runs of wire. The transformer cable and spade connectors for 1 and 2 amp power supplies must be supplied by the installer. The 4, 6, and 10 amp power supplies have an internally mounted transformer that already has an electrical cord and plug attached. 3. Feed the system power wires through one of the four knockouts on the sides of the power supply box using the correct bushing. Connect system power wires to the stripped wires in the power supply box (‘+’ to ‘+’ and ‘-‘ to ‘-‘). Secure this connection using wire nuts or crimped connectors and seal with electrical tape (whenever possible, these splices should also be soldered for increased reliability).

WARNING: Do not connect the battery or transformer power until ready for use. Allow 48 hours of constant power for the battery to charge completely for battery backup.

4. On 1 and 2 amp power supplies, connect the transformer cable to the wall transformer terminals. Spade connectors are required for all connections (do not wrap wires around terminal connections). 5. Once the access control system has been wired and is ready for use, remove the plastic insulating cover from the positive battery terminal and connect the battery wires from the power supply circuit board to the battery terminals. Be sure to connect ‘+’ to ‘+’ and ‘-‘ to ‘-‘. Plug the transformer into a 120 V outlet. The Transformer can be plugged into a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) or other surge protector for added surge protection. Do not plug the power supply into 120V until ready for use. On 1 and 2 amp power supplies, connect the large external transformer to the outlet using the screw provided on top of the transformer to prevent the transformer from falling out of the socket and removing power to the system. The 4, 6, and 10 amp power supplies have an internally mounted transformer with a standard electrical plug that does not require a screw mount.
