Installation Instructions:
Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/NFPA 72/ANSI, The Canadian Elec-
trical Code, Part 1 and with all local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. The product must be located indoors within
the protected premises.
1. Mount unit in desired location. Mark and predrill holes in the wall to line up with the top two keyholes in the
enclosure. Install two upper fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding. Place the enclosure’s
upper keyholes over the two upper screws, level and secure. Mark the position of the lower two holes. Remove the
enclosure. Drill the lower holes and install the two fasteners. Place the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two
upper screws. Install the two lower screws and make sure to tighten all screws (Enclosure Dimensions, pgs. 11-12).
Secure enclosure to earth ground.
2. Set desired DC output voltage by setting SW1 to the appropriate position on the power supply board (Fig. 1i, pg. 5).
3. Connect unswitched AC power (120VAC 60Hz) to terminals marked [L, N] (Fig. 1a, pg. 5). Use 14 AWG or
larger for all power connections. Secure green wire lead to earth ground. Keep power-limited wiring separate from
non power-limited wiring (120VAC 60Hz Input, Battery Wires). Minimum 0.25” spacing must be provided.
For Fire Alarm applications the outputs are “Special Applications” only, see list (refer to Appendix A, pg. 12).
4. Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoid potential damage.
5. Connect devices to be powered:
a. For eFlow4N/eFlow4NX connect devices to terminals marked [- DC +] (Fig. 1h, pg. 3).
b. For other Power Distribution Models connect devices to be powered to terminal pairs 1 to 8 marked
[1P & 1N] through [8P & 8N] (Fig. 3a & 3b, pg. 6) carefully observing correct polarity.
For auxiliary device connection this output will not be affected by Low Power Disconnect or Fire Alarm Interface.
Connect device to terminals marked [+ AUX -- ] (Fig. 1f, pg. 5).
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.
Connect battery to terminals marked [-- BAT + ] (Fig. 1g, pg. 5). Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in series for
24VDC operation (battery leads included). Use batteries - Casil CL1270 (12V/7AH), CL12120 (12V/12AH),
CL12400 (12V/40AH), CL12650 (12V/65AH) batteries or UL recognized BAZR2 batteries of an appropriate rating.
7. Connect appropriate signaling notification devices to AC FAIL & BAT FAIL (Fig. 1b, pg. 5) supervisory
relay outputs.
8. To delay AC reporting for 2 hrs. set dip switch [AC Delay] to OFF position (Fig. 1c, pg. 5).
To delay AC reporting for 1 min. set dip switch [AC Delay] to ON position (Fig. 1c, pg. 5).
Note: Must be set to ON position for Burglar Alarm Applications.
9. To enable Low Output Power Shutdown set dip switch [Shutdown] to ON position (Fig. 1c, pg. 5).
To disable Low Output Power Shutdown set dip switch Shutdown] to OFF position (Fig. 1c, pg. 5).
Input:
• 120VAC, 60Hz.
Output:
• For output voltage and supply current,
refer to eFlow4N series Power Supply Configuration
Reference Chart, pg. 2.
• Auxiliary Power-Limited output
rated @ 1 amp (unswitched).
• Over Voltage Protection.
Battery Backup:
• Built-in charger for sealed lead acid or gel type batteries.
• Maximum charge current 1.54 amp.
• Automatic switch over to stand-by battery when AC fails.
Transfer to stand-by battery power is instantaneous with
no interruption.
Fire Alarm Disconnect:
• Supervised Fire Alarm disconnect (latching or
non-latching) 10K EOL resistor. Operates on a normally
open (NO) or normally closed (NC) trigger.
Supervision:
• AC fail supervision (form “C” contacts).
Supervision (cont’d):
• Battery fail & presence supervision (form “C” contacts).
• Low power shutdown. Shuts down DC output terminals
if battery voltage drops below 71-73% for 12V units
and 70-75% for 24V units (depending on the power
supply). Prevents deep battery discharge.
Fuse Ratings:
• Refer to eFlow4N Series Power Supply Configuration
Reference Chart, pg. 2.
Visual Indicators:
• Green AC Power LED indicates 120VAC present.
• AC input and DC output LED indicators.
Additional Features:
• Short circuit and overload protection.
• Unit is complete with power supply, enclosure,
battery leads and cam lock.
