Power supply 
Jumper settings determine the power source and usage for the 
CRC. Configure the input power as AC. Configure the output 
power as continuous. 
If you use an additional power supply other than the CRCXF, 
that power supply must be listed for fire alarm applications, must 
have ground fault detection disabled, and must have a circuit 
ground (circuit common) that is isolated from earth ground. 
Hardware configuration 
The control panel must contain the following rail modules: 
•  3-SAC Security Access Control module 
•  3-PPS/M Primary Power Supply module 
The 3-SAC module supports the SAC bus. Power for the CRC is 
normally taken from the 3-PPS/M and is routed with the data 
lines in a cable composed of two twisted-pair wires. In this case 
the power from the 3-PPS/M is connected to the CRC terminals, 
but internally bypassed. 
The 16.5 Vac transformer should be plugged into a continuously 
energized AC socket, not one controlled by a switch. 
SDU programming 
When programming the system for this application, you’ll need 
to configure the CRC and define the appropriate lock type in the 
SDU. This can be either a strike or maglock.
