Power from an AC source 
Description of the application 
By AC power, we mean that the CRC provides the power to 
operate the electric door strike or maglock by using a 16.5 Vac 
transformer (model CRCXF). This supply can provide 
continuous power to the door strike or maglock, and also power 
the CRC. 
Using an AC source: 
•  Limits power drawn from the control panel 
•  Supports continuous duty locks 
•  Supports schedules with unlock periods 
Note: Be sure to check the installation sheet for the CRC and 
CRCXM—Card Reader Controller Installation Sheet (P/N 
387625) for a list of applications that prohibit the use of the 
CRCXF. 
A typical CRC using AC power is shown in Figure 3-14.
