ACTsmart Operating and Installation Manual Rev. 1.2

Installation Notes
• Remember to Factory Default the ACTsmart before programming
• Remember to place the supplied varistor across the terminals of the door strike coil to protect the relay
contacts
• Don’t mount the ACTsmart Prox units near RF sources (Eg mobile phones, radio transmitters,
computer monitors) or metal surfaces.
• Remember that the ACTsmart PIN and Prox units default to Card operation. Card and PIN operation
must be programmed in. (See Programming ACTsmart Options, Options 39, 40 and 41).
• Don’t power the unit from a switch-mode power supply. Use a linear regulated power supply.
• Never use the on-board relay to switch AC mains voltage. An external relay, electrically isolated from
the ACTsmart should be used for this purpose
• Remember to change the programming code.
• Don’t power the ACTsmart from an AC power supply on a networked system. An AC power supply
may only be used on a standalone ACTsmart.
• The ACTsmart version is not compatible with the ACTsmart2. The cards and fobs for one
version will not work on the other. The ACTsmart and ACTsmart2 devices may NOT be
networked together.
Important
As with any Access Control system, always ensure there is an alternate means of escape in the event of
the unit failing to operate due to power loss or in the event of fire.
