ACSI 1490 Delayed Egress Power Supply

ACSI 1490 Power Supply is designed to interface with ACSI electromagnetic locks in a delayed egress locking application.

Features
• UL Listed
• Compliance with NFPA code requirements
• Filtered/Unregulated 24VDC
• 2A load capacity
• Input for delayed egress activation
• Manual reset of delayed egress alarm
• Optional auto reset available
• Fire alarm interface
• Output for audible alarm
• Field adjustable delay for nuisance alarm,
door release, request-to-exit and auto reset
delay times
• One power supply can provide up to 4 delayed
egress alarm zones
Description of System Operation
The delayed egress alarm becomes activated when
the push bar of the Series 1500 modified exit device is
depressed. A concealed AE (request-to-exit) switch initiates
an irreversible cycle that begins with the Series 1300
audible alarm sounding for a predetermined time (field
adjustable) while the Series 3700 electromagnetic lock
remains energized locking the door.
At the end of the timing cycle, the electromagnetic lock
de-energizes and unlocks the door while the audible alarm
continues sounding. The door will remain unlocked and
in an alarm state until manually reset by the Series 1300
keyswitch. Resetting the system will lock the door by
energizing the electromagnetic lock and will turn off the
audible alarm.
When using the system with a door position switch,
the door must be fully closed prior to resetting the
system. Resetting with the door open will energize the
electromagnetic lock, but will not turn off the audible alarm.
The audible alarm will also begin sounding if a forced entry
occurs while the system is armed.
In the event of a fire alarm, the electromagnetic lock will
immediately de-energize to unlock the door. Upon resetting
the fire alarm, the system will return to normal standby
operation.

ACSI 1490-21 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the 1490 24VDC, and how much lock load will it carry?
Output is filtered, unregulated 24VDC with a 2A load capacity. That capacity is what decides how many mag locks you can hang on one unit, and a single 1490 can cover up to 4 delayed egress alarm zones.
2) Will the ACSI 1490 release the door on a fire alarm?
Yes. The 1490 has a fire alarm interface, and on a fire alarm signal the electromagnetic lock de-energizes immediately to unlock the door. Once the fire alarm is reset, the system returns to normal standby. It is UL Listed and the maker states compliance with NFPA code requirements for delayed egress.
3) Does the delayed egress alarm reset itself or does staff have to reset it manually?
Standard operation is manual reset at the Series 1300 keyswitch, which re-energizes the mag lock and silences the audible alarm. An optional auto reset is available if you do not want staff walking to the door every time. For facilities with a door position switch, note the door has to be fully closed before resetting: reset with the door open and the lock energizes but the alarm keeps sounding.
4) Can I use a standard access control power supply instead of the ACSI 1490?
No, not for delayed egress. A general purpose linear supply such as the Securitron BPS, or the self-monitoring BPSM, powers locks but carries no delayed egress logic. The 1490 adds the input for delayed egress activation, the irreversible timing cycle, the audible alarm output, the fire alarm interface and the reset function that a code-compliant delayed egress opening requires. Use a BPS or BPSM where you just need filtered lock power; use the 1490 where the door is a delayed egress door.
5) Can a Securitron BPS linear power supply be used in place of the ACSI 1490 for a delayed egress opening?
No. The ACSI 1490 is a delayed egress power supply built to interface with ACSI electromagnetic locks in a delayed egress locking application, with an input for delayed egress activation, manual reset of the delayed egress alarm, an output for an audible alarm, and field adjustable delay times for nuisance alarm, door release, request-to-exit and auto reset. The Securitron BPS is a linear box power supply, so it provides power but does not carry the delayed egress timing and reset logic the sequence depends on. For a delayed egress zone, the 1490 does the work; a BPS suits an opening where you only need DC power to a lock.
6) Which timing functions on the 1490 can be adjusted in the field?
Four are field adjustable: nuisance alarm time, door release time, request-to-exit, and auto reset delay. That lets an integrator tune the irreversible cycle to the authority having jurisdiction's accepted delay without swapping hardware.
7) What is the difference between the 1490-21, -22, -23 and -24?
The 1490 is ordered by model suffix, and four are offered: 1490-21, 1490-22, 1490-23 and 1490-24. Specify the suffix that matches your zone count and reset preference (manual or the optional auto reset) when you order, since the base platform and 24VDC 2A output are common across them.
8) Does the 1490 drive the horn, or do I need a separate alarm device?
The 1490 provides an output for an audible alarm rather than the sounder itself. In the ACSI system that horn and the reset keyswitch are the Series 1300 unit, and the lock is the Series 3700 electromagnetic lock, so budget those as separate line items alongside the supply.
9) Will the alarm sound if someone forces the door rather than pushing the bar?
Yes. With the system armed, a forced entry starts the audible alarm, the same as a push bar activation would. The door then stays in the alarm state until the Series 1300 keyswitch reset is used.
10) What is the difference between the ACSI 1490 and the Securitron BPSM self-monitoring power supply?
They solve different problems. The Securitron BPSM is a self-monitoring power supply, so its emphasis is on reporting the state of the power output itself. The ACSI 1490 is a delayed egress power supply: filtered/unregulated 24VDC at 2A load capacity, UL Listed, with a fire alarm interface, an input for delayed egress activation, and the ability to serve up to 4 delayed egress alarm zones from one supply. Choose the 1490 when the opening needs the delayed egress cycle and code compliance for that sequence; choose a self-monitoring supply when the requirement is power supervision.
11) I only need to power a maglock on a single door with no delayed egress. Is there a simpler option than the ACSI 1490?
Yes. The ACSI 1490 is a delayed egress power supply whose value is in the irreversible timing cycle, the audible alarm output, and the keyswitch reset. If the opening has no delayed egress requirement, a straight linear supply such as the Securitron BPS box power supply covers the need. Keep the 1490 where the exit device request-to-exit switch has to start a timed release with an alarm and manual reset.
12) Does the ACSI 1490 handle the fire alarm release, or do I need a separate supervised supply like the Securitron BPSM?
The ACSI 1490 includes a fire alarm interface: on a fire alarm the electromagnetic lock immediately de-energizes to unlock the door, and when the fire alarm is reset the system returns to normal standby operation. That release function is built into the 1490 itself, so it does not require a self-monitoring supply such as the Securitron BPSM to accomplish it. A BPSM would be specified for power supervision reporting rather than for the egress release sequence.
