DESIGN
The VPB-260 is a fully filtered battery back-up
power supply. The input and both outputs are fuse
protected. The charger circuit output is floating with
respect to ground. The charging circuit provides a
constant voltage and is current limited to 1.5 amps to
the two Gel Cells. There is a "power on" LED that is
illuminated when the supply is connected to the AC
power source. There is also a test button for testing
the batteries. When pressing this button, the LED
will illuminate if the batteries are fully charged.

Connections
Unplug the KSU power cord. Consult the installation
manual of the key system for the location of the input

voltage power cord of the auxiliary power system into
the socket.
NOTE: The plug is polarized and will only fit one
way. After making sure that the plug is seated in the
socket, plug in the AC power cords. Both the AC
power cord for the VPB-260 and the power cord for
the KSU should use the same AC outlet. Figure 1
shows low voltage plug outputs.
NOTE: Time to reach a full charge after initial
installation or after a deep discharge is
approximately 9 hours.
MAINTENANCE
In order to insure proper operation of the battery
supply, the following operation should be performed
once a month.
Unplug the key system from the AC power receptacle
to allow operation from the batteries for 15 minutes.
Plug key system power cord into AC outlet.
