Maximal3D/Maximal5D/Maximal7D Access Power Controllers (PTC) Installation Guide - 3 -
Maximal D Series Overview:
Maximal Access Power/Controllers distribute and switch power to access control systems and accessories. They
convert a 115VAC 60Hz input into sixteen (16) independently controlled 12VDC or 24VDC Class 2 Rated PTC
protected power-limited outputs. The outputs are activated by an open collector sink or normally open (NO) dry
trigger input from an Access Control System, Keypad, Push Button, REX PIR, etc. Units will route power to a variety
of access control hardware devices including: Mag Locks, Electric Strikes, Magnetic Door Holders, etc. The FACP
Interface enables Emergency Egress, Alarm Monitoring, or may be used to trigger other auxiliary devices. The fire
alarm disconnect feature is individually selectable for any or all of the sixteen (16) outputs. All interconnecting
equipment must be UL Listed.

MaximalD Series Features:
Sixteen (16) independently trigger controlled outputs. Output options:
a) Sixteen (16) Fail-Safe filtered and electronically regulated power outputs.
b) Sixteen (16) Fail-Secure filtered and electronically regulated power outputs.
c) Any combination of the above.
Sixteen (16) Access Control System trigger inputs. Input trigger options:
a) Sixteen (16) normally open (NO) dry trigger inputs.
b) Sixteen (16) open collector inputs.
c) Any combination of the above.
Sixteen (16) unswitched filtered and electronically regulated aux. power outputs (outputs are rated @ 2.5A).
Red LEDs on ACM8CB board indicate individual outputs are triggered (relays energized).
Fire Alarm disconnect (latching or non-latching) is individually selectable for any or all of the sixteen (16) outputs.
Fire Alarm disconnect input trigger options:
a) Normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) dry trigger input.
b) Polarity reversal input from FACP signaling circuit.
Green LED on ACM8CB board indicates FACP disconnect is triggered.
FACP output relay indicates that FACP input is triggered (form “C” contact rated @ 1A/28VDC,
not evaluated by UL).
Power supply input is factory installed. It provides common power for both ACM8CB boards and all
connected access control devices.
ACM8CB board main fuses are rated @ 10A. Output PTCs are rated @ 2.5A.
Built-in charger for sealed lead acid or gel type batteries.
- Maximum charge current is 0.7A for AL600ULXB and AL1012ULXB power supply boards.
- Maximum charge current is 3.6A for AL1024ULXB2 power supply board.
