M2150 AC24/4 Alarms Controller Installation Instructions
Addressing
1
Set the address of the controller using the links shown below. When connected to a DBU, the controller can be set to address
1, 3, 5 or 7. When connected to a 2DBC or 4DBC, the controller must be set to address 3, 5 or 7. When connected to an
8DBC, the controller must be set to address 5 or 7. An alarms controller occupies two addresses (e.g. 5 and 6).
The AC24/4 alarms controller is a remote alarms control unit for M2150
security management systems. The controller enables direct
connection of up to 24 monitor points (for alarms monitoring) and 4
auxiliary outputs, and can be sited up to 3000ft (1km) from the
controlling M2150 DBU, 2DBC, 4DBC or 8DBC database unit (some of
these database units are available only in selected countries).

UL Compliance Notes:
1). For UL1076 Proprietary Burglar Alarm Systems and Non-Stand Alone UL294 Access Control System (central monitoring
employed) installations, Altronix AL400ULX power supply must be used for system battery supervision function.
2). When using Altronix AL400ULX power supply, the installer will need to provide a remote input to the AC24/4 to monitor AC
power loss and battery supervision conditions as indicated below:

CONNECTIONS TO DATABASE UNIT AND OTHER
OPTIONAL REMOTE DOOR/ALARMS CONTROLLERS
Notes:
1). Consult local AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) when installing access control
readers and locking mechanisms to any portal in an egress path.
2). The use of Fail Closed / secure configuration shall be determined by local building
codes and the local AHJ.
3). Wiring methods shall be in accordance with NEC (National Electrical Code)
ANSI/NFPA 70.
4). This device must be installed within the secure area / perimeter for UL1076 and
UL294 Listed installations.

6). For Access Control Systems in a “Stand Alone” configuration only, the following
Power supplies are to be installed: Model MN-PSU-KIT-MKII with MN-TRANS-75-UL
transformer. Any additional power supply used (e.g. for door releases and auxiliary
outputs) must be power limited, UL listed for Access Control Systems and Accessories.
All interconnecting devices must be UL Listed.
7). Some devices described in these instructions may not be applicable for sites
requiring UL compliance. Please refer to the M2150 Access Control Design Guide for
details of the controllers, modules and features that have been UL tested for use with
