Allstar Products Group Gate Operator Standby Power Supply, SPS-50

Connecting the AC Line Voltage (Main Voltage)

The SPS-50 is designed to provide back-up power to the gate operator ONLY. Auxiliary devices such as loop detectors, card readers, phone entry systems, etc., must NOT be connected to the output of the SPS-50. These devices may overload the capacity of the SPS-50 and prevent proper gate operation.

THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

PROCEDURES UNTIL THE POWER IS TURNED

OFF AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.

Electrically, the SPS-50 is wired in series with the incoming AC supply from the breaker box to the operator. The connector labeled AC IN is connected to the main AC supply. The AC OUT is connected to the operator.

Refer to the diagram on page 7 for the following:

Connect the incoming AC line to the AC IN as follows: L - AC Line In (live): Black

N - AC neutral (common): White

G- AC Ground (earth): Green

Connect the outgoing AC line to the AC OUT as follows: L - AC Line out: Black

N - AC neutral: White

G- AC Ground: Green

Refer to the instructions provided with the operator for the proper connections to the operators.

Connecting the Relay Outputs

Two sets of relay outputs are available on the SPS-50. The set marked LO BAT are intended to be alarm contacts to alert of low battery capacity. These must be connect to a suitable alarm system (not provided).

The set marked RELAY are connected to the operator as follows:

CM - Common, connected to the control input common terminal of the operator

NO - Normally open, connected to the hold open terminal of the operator

If the operator uses a normally closed control circuit, the NC contact may be used. Refer to the instructions provided with the operator for the proper connections to the operator control panel.

INSTALLING THE SPS-50

Applying Power and Connecting the Battery Pack

Follow the steps below when connecting the battery pack to the SPS-50:

CAUTION !

DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY PACK UNTIL

AC POWER IS TURNED ON. ARCING WILL OCCUR AND THE SPS-50 WILL ACTIVATE THE GATE OPERATOR.

1.Turn the main power on. The AC LED on the SPS-50 should be on.

2.Test the operator for several open / close cycles

3.Connect the battery pack to the SPS-50. Connect the red wire to the red terminal on the batter pack and the black wire to the black terminal on the battery pack

WARNING!: Do not reverse the connections to the battery pack. Reversing the leads will permanently damage the SPS-50.

Typically, the batteries will require 24 hours of charging time after installation.

Testing the SPS-50

After the batteries are charged, the SPS-50 may be tested. To test, turn the main power off and allow the SPS-50 to cycle the operator. There will be approximately a ten second delay between the loss of AC power and when the operator starts to open. After approximately 30 seconds, the SPS-50 will shut down the power to the operator.

After the completion of the test, turn the main AC power back on. After approximately ten seconds a reset pulse will be sent to the operator. If the operator is wired for auto timer to close, it should close at the end of the time delay period.

The SPS-50 will only provide back-up power for 2-5 cycles (depending on battery charge, temperature and gate size and weight). If the battery charge is too low, the SPS-50 will not be able to develop sufficient voltage to power the gate operator and the batteries must recharge before additional testing.

A monthly test should be made to ensure proper operation of the system.
