Installation Manual

- 2 - ACM8/CB Sub-Assembly
Overview:
These units are UL Listed Sub-Assembly multi-output Access Power Controllers that convert one (1) 12 to 24 volt DC
input into eight (8) independently controlled fused or PTC protected outputs. These power outputs can be converted to dry
form “C” contacts (fused models only). Outputs are activated by an open collector sink or normally open [NO] dry trigger
input from an Access Control System, Card Reader, Keypad, Push Button, PIR, etc. The units will route power to a variety
of access control hardware devices including Mag Locks, Electric Strikes, Magnetic Door Holders, etc. Outputs will oper-
ate in both Fail-Safe and/or Fail-Secure modes. Units are designed to be powered by one common power source which
will provide power for both the board operation and locking devices, or two (2) totally independent power sources, one
(1) providing power for board operation and the other for lock / accessory power. The FACP Interface enables Emergency
Egress, Alarm Monitoring, or may be used to trigger other auxiliary devices. The fire alarm disconnect feature is individu-
ally selectable for any or all of the eight (8) outputs.

ACM8CB 8 - x 2 amp x
Specifications:
• 12 to 24 volt DC operation (setting not required).
(0.5 amp @ 12 volt, 0.3 amp @ 24 volt current consumption with all relays energized).
• Power supply input options:
a) One (1) common power input (board and lock power).
b) Two (2) isolated power inputs (one (1) for board power and one (1) for lock/hardware power).
• Eight (8) Access Control System trigger inputs:
a) Eight (8) normally open (NO) inputs.
b) Eight (8) open collector sink inputs.
c) Any combination of the above.
• Eight (8) independently controlled outputs:
a) Eight (8) Fail-Safe and/or Fail-Secure power outputs.
b) Eight (8) dry form “C” 5 amp rated relay outputs.
c) Any combination of the above.
• Eight (8) auxiliary power outputs (unswitched).
• Output ratings:
- Fuses are rated 3.5 amp each.
- PTCs are rated 2 amp each.
• Main fuse is rated at 10 amp.
Note: Total output current is determined by the power supply, not to exceed a maximum of 10 amp total.
• Red LEDs indicate outputs are triggered (relays energized).
• Fire Alarm disconnect (latching or non-latching) is individually selectable for any or all of the eight (8) outputs.
Fire Alarm disconnect input options:
a) Normally open [NO] or normally closed [NC] dry contact input.
b) Polarity reversal input from FACP signaling circuit.
• FACP output relay (form “C” contact rated @ 1 amp 28VDC not evaluated by UL).
• Green LED indicates when FACP disconnect is triggered.
• Removable terminal blocks facilitate ease of installation.
Board Dimensions (W x L x H approximate): 4.5” x 8” x 1.25” (114.3mm x 203.2mm x 31.75mm).
