SMP5
- 1 -
Overview:
SMP5 power supply/charger converts low voltage AC input into 6VDC, 12VDC or 24VDC @ 4 amp of continuous
supply current (see specifications). This general purpose power supply has a wide range of applications for access control,
security and CCTV system accessories that require additional power.

Installation Instructions:
The SMP5 should be installed in accordance with The National Electrical Code and all applicable Local Regulations.
1. Mount the SMP5 board in the desired location/enclosure.
2. Set DC output voltage with switches (Voltage Output/Transformer Selection Table).
3. Connect a proper transformer to the terminals marked [AC] (Voltage Output/Transformer Selection Table).
Use 18 AWG or larger for all power connections (Battery, DC output).
4. Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.
5. Connect devices to be powered to the terminals marked [+ DC --- ].
6. When the use of stand-by batteries is desired, they must be lead acid or gel type.
Connect battery to the terminals marked [+ BAT --- ] (battery leads included).
Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in series for 24VDC operation.
Note: When batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in the loss of output voltage.
