Rectifier Sounder Module RM1
The RM1 Rectifier
Sounder Module enables Alpro electric door strikes to operate with AC
systems. Enables use of a quality electric door strike at greatly reduced
current consumption over dedicated AC electric strikes.
Only for use with product with maximum current load of 1 amp. Not solenoid
bolts or shearlocks for example.
RM1 continuously
rated.
Switchable buzzer
- Buzzer function available on DC - on/off. Allows for silent operation
on AC.
Power - Input
voltage range is 12-24vAC +/1 15%. There is no polarity on the AC input.
Output will always be lower than the input by 10% approximately. If you
require 12vDC output ensure input is at least 13vAC. Standard voltmeters will
show the output voltage as lower, this is because the output is not smoothed
which will create false readings on your meter.
Current load -
maximum current load is 1 amp (1000mA).
Sounder - the
sounder will sound whenever an input voltage is present, if this is not required
remove the link located next to the sounder. Store the link on the pin, in case
you change your mind and need it later.
Location - this
RM1 Rectifier is not designed to work in damp environments; and MUST BE
protected from moisture. If this is not possible at the device end of the
circuit, the PCB must be removed to a dry position near the AC power source.
The exact location of the PCB is not critical; the voltage output will not
change significantly.
DC input - this
product will accept a DC input if you only wanted to use the sounder function.
There is still no polarity on the input and the output polarity will always be
as shown.
