Wiring to a Power Supply Box

Instructions for wiring a Door/Gate Controller to a common power supply unit (PSU) that has relay inputs and outputs, such as Altronix brand.

Open

Wiring a Normally Open (N.O.) Electric Strike

1. Connect the controller’s wires as such:

   1. Red to (+) 12VDC terminal

   2. Black to (-) GND terminal

   3. Blue to a trigger-input terminal (labeled “PUSH” in the images)

   4. Yellow to the other trigger-input terminal (labeled “GND” in the images)

2. Connect the electric strike (+) wire to the Normally Open (NO) triggered-output terminal

3. Connect the electric strike (-) to the GND triggered-output terminal (sometimes labeled “COM”)

4. Connect 115VAC to the appropriate input on the PSU (shown in upper right of the image)

5. Optional: connect backup battery to appropriate connectors

6. Plug-in PSU to outlet or hardwired 115VAC

Open

Wiring a Normally Closed (N.C.) Maglock

1. Connect the controller’s wires as such:

   1. Red to (+) 12VDC terminal

   2. Black to (-) GND terminal

   3. Blue to a trigger-input terminal (labeled “PUSH” in the images but each PSU labels may vary)

   4. Yellow to the other trigger-input terminal (labeled “GND” in the images)

2. Connect the electric strike (+) wire to the Normally Closed (NC) triggered-output terminal

3. Connect the electric strike (-) to the GND triggered-output terminal (sometimes labeled “COM”)

4. Connect 115VAC to the appropriate input on the PSU (shown in upper right of the image)

5. Optional: connect backup battery to appropriate connectors

6. Plug-in PSU to outlet or hardwired 115VAC
