Description
The AQM20 supervised power supply with battery
charger is two high powered, fully isolated, independent
power supplies enclosed in one small self contained
aluminum package. Each power supply, outputs 1 and
2, are a nominal 12vdc at 10 Amps with 12v lead acid
battery charger. These outputs can be used as
separate isolated 12vdc power supplies, or they can be

connected in parallel or series to provide 12vdc, 24vdc
or both 12vdc and 24vdc at the same time. When
outputs 1 & 2 are connected in parallel, the output is
13.75vdc at 20 Amps. When outputs 1 & 2 are
connected in series, the output is 27.5vdc at 10 Amps.
Because each output is independently regulated, you
may draw additional current from the 12V output 1,

while using the 24vdc output at the same time. The
12v current used has to be subtracted from the 10
Amps available on the 24vdc. Figures 1 - 4 illustrate
each of these four hookups for the SPS-20. Charging
two 12v batteries independently is also a very big
benefit for long battery life.

AQM20 Series Installation Instructions

Maintenance
The power supply and stand by battery(s) should be tested at least once a year as follows:
1. Check LED’s for normal state. AC ON Green, DC #1 ON Red, and DC #2 ON Red.
2. Check output voltage with normal load. DC Output #1 and DC Output #2 should read between 13.60 and
13.80vdc.
3. Disconnect AC input. AC LED should be off, DC Output LED’s #1 and #2 should be ON.
4. Check DC Outputs #1 and #2 to be above 12.0vdc. This checks standby batteries to be operational. Sealed
lead acid batteries have a typical life of 3 to 5 years.
5. Re Apply AC and verify AC LED ON.

Battery Selection
The table below shows typical standby time in hours for various loads and batteries. The table works for either
12vdc or 24vdc. The AQM20 was evaluated at UL with a 7AH sealed lead acid battery with a 1 hour stand by.

Description / Instructions
The PDB-8F8Ris a versatile, compact way to distribute and
control power for Access Control Systems with Fire Alarm
Interface. The PDB-8F8Ris an 8 position power
distribution board with individual Relays with input (IN)
control for each output (OUT). An EOL resistor trigger
input (TRIG), will force all output relays to de-energize that
are selected (FT). In a typical installation, the TRIG would
be connected to a Fire Alarm panel via a set of contacts.
When the Fire Alarm trips, all enabled relays would be
forced to be de-energized to unlock electric doors, shut
down air systems, and or return elevators to ground floor.
Input / Output Terminals, Jumpers and LED
Details and Specifications
Control Power (- CONTR +) Two position un-pluggable
terminal block is used to power the coils of the relays. The
control voltage must be between 11 and 27.5 Vdc. Each

relay energized will draw 20ma of current. By default,
Control Power and Main Power are connected together
with jumpers J1 & J2 so no connection would be made
here unless you were using Dual/separate power as
described below.
Note Dual/separate power source
configuration has not been evaluated by UL and cannot be
configured for UL Listed products.
Main Power (- POWER +) Two position un-pluggable
terminal block provides the power to the outputs to be
distributed and power to Control through J1 & J2. In a
normal application the Power must be between 11 and
27.5 Vdc and would be connected here.
Dual/Separate Power J1 & J2 Jumpers
Note
Dual/separate power source configuration has not been
evaluated by UL and cannot be configured for UL Listed
products. J1 Connects (-) Power to (-) Control, J2
Connects (+) Power to (+) Control. By default J1 & J2 are

AQM20 Series Instructions Doc.# 500-33010 Rev. B
Page 6 of 9

AQM20 Series Installation Instructions
connected together. When J1 & J2 are cut, you must
supply 11 to 27.5Vdc to Control power, then you may
connect any voltage to 32V AC or DC to the Main Power
Terminals. See Dual/Separate Power application figure
below.
Inputs (1-8 IN C) Eight, two position un-pluggable terminal
blocks. When IN & C are shorted together, the like number
output relay will energize.
Each relay can also be
energized by an open collector that is common to the
control power, sinking 20ma for each input. Each of the
C’s (common) are connected to control negative power.
Input LED’s (1-8) Whenever an input is active (relay
energized) the associated input red LED will illuminate.
FDT/FT (1-8) Jumpers - These are three pin headers
adjacent to each fuse with a shunt with handle that shorts
the center pin to FTD or FT.
FTD = Fire Trigger Disabled - When selected, the
Trigger will not effect that output.
FT = Fire Trigger – When selected Triggering will force
that Input Relay to De-Energize.
Dry/Wet Option (1-8 Fuse Models) Through a Fuse, the
(+ Power) is connected to the swing arm of each Relay to
distribute power to its output.
Removing the Fuse,
removes the power from the relay. The (+) now becomes
the Common Swing Arm and the “O” is the N/O or N/C
contact as selected with jumper.
Outputs (1-8 OUTPUT C, +, O) Eight, Three position unpluggable terminal blocks. “C” is Power Common and is
connected to (- power). “+” is connected to fused (+power)
and the relay swing arm. “O” is the relay switched output
as selected with N/O or N/C selector jumper
Output Relay Contacts Selector (1-8 NC/NO) Jumpers
These 3 pin headers with shunt selectors are located just
above each output which selects whether the N/C or N/O
contacts are connected to the “O” switched output terminal.
With N/C selected, output would be normally ON, or
connected to swing arm. With N/O selected, output would
turn ON, or close when input is activated. Fire Alarm
Interface Trigger (2.2K EOL TRIG) Two position unpluggable terminal block. This input must see the 2.2K
ohm EOL (End Of Line) resistor to be in the normal
condition. The EOL is to be placed in a Listed fire alarm
panel. See Fig 1 illustrating that shorting or opening the
EOL will cause the PDB-8F8R to trigger.
