Assuming a 24V power supply, a Core Series Smart Hub configured with four 
Openpath Readers and locking hardware uses about 2 Amps. To keep the system 
running for 3 hours with all entries engaged, you need 2A x 3 hours = 6AH, so two 12V 
6AH sealed lead acid (SLA) or gel cell batteries wired in series. 
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Openpath Smart Hubs use LifeSafety Power E1 and E2 enclosures. Core Series Smart 
Hubs are shipped with power supplies pre-installed, but Openpath boards must be 
installed separately. 

4. Partially install two fasteners appropriate for the surface on which the 
enclosure is being installed. Leave the heads of the fasteners approximately ¼ " 
out from the surface. Minimum fastener size should be #10 or larger. 
5. Hang the enclosure on the two fasteners and mark the locations of the 
remaining mounting holes 
6. Remove the enclosure and pre-drill the locations for the remaining mounting 
