SELECTING A BACKUP BATTERY
Table 2: Power requirements for first gen Smart Hubs (12V)
Locking hardware
(while engaged)
Assuming a 12V power supply, a Smart Hub configured with four Openpath Readers
and locking hardware uses 4 Amps. To keep the system running for 3 hours with all
entries engaged, you need 4A x 3 hours = 12AH, so a 12V 12AH sealed lead acid (SLA)
or gel cell battery.
● Note: The 12V Smart Hub (OP-4ESH-12V) supports up to 2A for 12V locking
hardware.
INSTALLATION
INSTALLING 4 DOOR CONTROLLER WITH 24V LOCKING HARDWARE
For a UL Listed System, the standalone Controller Board must be mounted in a
LifeSafety Power E1 enclosure with an FPV4 power supply.
WARNING: Only connect the Controller Board to 12V. Over voltage can damage the
board.
If you purchased the Controller Board separately and are using 24V locking
hardware, we recommend using the LifeSafety Power E1 enclosure, FPV4 power
supply, B100 secondary power supply, and C4 power control module.
1. Follow all LifeSafety Power instructions for installing the FPV4, B100, and C4 in
the enclosure
2. Mount the Controller Board using the provided back plate
3. Connect the B100 secondary supply to the Controller Board
IMPORTANT: Verify that the jumper on the B100 is set to 12V
4. Mount the enclosure according to mounting instructions above
