WIRING THE “ANSUL AUTOMAN” II-C RELEASE
The ANSUL AUTOMAN II-C is designed for use with the sep-
arately listed or approved fire detection and releasing control
unit which will initiate the electrical signal to operate the
release. Accordingly, conduit and wiring connections
between the release and the detection/alarm control system
should be made by or under the supervision of the detec-
tion/control system manufacturer’s technician.
Installation of Wiring
A terminal strip is provided inside the ANSUL AUTOMAN
II-C enclosure for making field terminations. It is to be con-
nected to a nominal 12 VDC or 24 VDC releasing circuit. The
activation current is 450 mA at 12 VDC or 750 mA at 24 VDC
for approximately 55 milliseconds. The wiring diagram shown
in Figure 7 provides the details for making the field wiring
connections.
All interconnecting wiring to the solenoid is to be a minimum
of 18 AWG. All wiring should be done in accordance with the
National Electric Code and/or local codes and standards.
The circuit connections from the output of the Releasing
Control Unit are made to Terminals 4 and 8 of the ANSUL
AUTOMAN II-C release. The release is shipped with a
jumper (J
2
) installed across Terminals 4 and 5. If the releas-
ing control unit that is to be connected to the release requires
an in-line supervisory device to maintain proper circuit super-
vision, jumper J
2
should be removed and the appropriate in-
line supervisory device installed in its place. Refer to the
installation instructions from the manufacturer of the releas-
ing control unit for polarity requirements when installing an
in-line supervisory device.
Install the in-line supervisory device (SD
x
in Figure 7) across
terminals 4 and 5. Refer to the releasing control unit installa-
tion instructions for supervisory device requirements. If an in-
line supervisory device is not required, install jumper J
2
across terminals 4 and 5.
Terminals 1 through 3 are provided for auxiliary device con-
nections. Auxiliary equipment is controlled through the action
of switch S
1
. Refer to the following ELECTRICAL DATA
SECTION for the contact ratings of S
1
.
Replace the protective cover over the terminal strip upon
completion of field wiring. Test the system by following the
procedures on the following pages.
ELECTRICAL DATA
Input Current: 750 mA at 24 VDC for 50 milliseconds
450 mA at 12 VDC for 50 milliseconds
Input Voltage: 12.5 – 30 VDC
Polarization: Polarization will result only by installation of
a polarized in-line supervisory device (SD
x
).
Observe polarity when connected to a
release circuit; terminal 4 positive, terminal 8
negative.
Contact Ratings: S
1
and S
2
contact ratings are 15A, 1/3
HP, 125 or 250 VAC resistive; 1/2A, 125
VDC; 1/4A, 250 VDC; 5A, 120 VAC

Operating Sequence
With solenoid cut-off switch (S
2
), in the normal position (the
release reset lever in the armed position), an electrical circuit
is formed between terminals 4 and 8. As the supervisory
release circuit of the control unit is activated, power is
applied between terminals 4 and 8 of TB
1
causing solenoid
SOL
1
to operate the ANSUL AUTOMAN II-C release. As the
release operates, S
1
and S
2
will change positions with S
2
cutting power to the solenoid, which opens the release cir-
cuit. S
1
, being a condition switch, provides an isolated set of
form “C” contacts for auxiliary functions at terminals 1, 2 and
3 of TB
1
.
