24 Hours 10 amp/5 minutes 50mA
24VDC/36AH 24 Hours 10 amp/5 minutes 1 amp
Note: Unit is equipped with two (2) 1 amp max. auxiliary outputs: “AUX1” will automatically disconnect when
AC is lost. “AUX2” will remain battery backed up during power outage. For loads connected to “AUX2”, please
refer to battery “Stand-by Specifications” above for ratings. When loads are connected to the “AUX1” and or
“AUX2” outputs during alarm condition, the remaining outputs may, not exceed 10 amp total alarm current.
(example: AUX1 = 1 amp, AUX2 = 1 amp, outputs up to 8 amp).
Installation Instructions:
Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/NFPA 72/ANSI, and with all local
codes and authorities having jurisdiction. Product is intended for indoor use only.

1. Mount unit in the 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, pg. 12).
2. Connect green lead to earth ground (Fig 1). Connect the line (L) and neutral (N) terminals to a separate unswitched
AC circuit (120VAC, 60Hz) dedicated to the Fire Alarm System.
3. Measure output voltage before connecting devices. This helps avoiding potential damage.
4. Connect battery to the terminals marked [+ BAT -- ] on the Power Supply Board (battery leads included).
Note: If batteries being used in your installation do not fit into the AL1042ULADA unit, it is required to install a
separate enclosure, UL Listed for appropriate application. Separate battery enclosure is required to have 50 cubic inches
of additional open space. All wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code
NFPA 70/NFPA 72/ANSI and with all local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. Battery circuits are not power-
limited; provide 0.25” spacing from power-limited circuits and use separate knockout. If additional battery enclosure
is required, it must be UL Listed for the application and mounted within 5’ of the AL1042ULADA enclosure in the
same room; minimum 12 AWG wire in appropriate conduit is required for connection. When using conduit, make
sure it is installed in a matter where it can not turn.
5. Set output selection switches marked [OUT1 through OUT4] to follow corresponding input [IN1 & IN2]
and desired output signal type (Output Programming Selection Table, pg. 4).
