Installation Instructions
- 2 - ACMCB220 Series Installation Guide
Overview:
Altronix ACMCB220 Series units distribute and switch power to access control systems and accessories. They
convert a 220VAC (working range 198VAC - 256VAC), 50/60Hz input into eight (8) independently controlled
12VDC or 24VDC PTC protected outputs. 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. Units will route power
to a variety of access control hardware devices including: Mag Locks, Electric Strikes, Magnetic Door Holders, etc.
Outputs will operate in both Fail-Safe and/or Fail-Secure modes. The FACP Interface enables Emergency Egress,
Alarm Monitoring, or may be used to trigger other auxiliary devices. The fire alarm disconnect feature is individually
selectable for any or all of the eight (8) outputs.

Specifications:
Input:
• Power supply input options:
a) One (1) common power input for ACM8CB
and lock power (factory installed).
b) Two (2) isolated power inputs - One (1) to power
the ACM8CB and one (1) for lock accessory
power (external power supply is required).
Current is determined by the power supply
connected, not to exceed a maximum of 10A total.
• Eight (8) Access Control System trigger inputs.
Input options:
a) Eight (8) normally open (NO) inputs.
b) Eight (8) open collector inputs.
c) Any combination of the above.
Output:
• 12VDC or 24VDC outputs.
• Power-limited outputs.
• Eight (8) independently controlled
Fail-Safe and/or Fail-Secure power outputs.
• Eight (8) auxiliary power outputs (unswitched)
• Output PTCs are rated @ 2.5A.
• Filtered and electronically regulated outputs
(built-in power supply).
Visual Indicators:
• Red LEDs indicate outputs are triggered
(relays energized).
• Green LED indicates FACP disconnect is triggered.

Features:
• 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.
• Alarm output relay indicates that FACP input is
triggered (form “C” contact rated @ 1A 28VDC).
