apC/L Basics
The apC/L is housed in a 16 AWG metal wall-mounted cabinet which has
tamper switches on the front and rear, and can be used in a wide variety of
configurations. The apC/L has two reader ports, capable of handling a
maximum of two readers and two relay outputs. In the basic
configuration, the apC/L’s two card readers are wired in a multidrop
configuration. The panel’s static RAM consumes minimal power for
storing memory and data.
The apC/L’s basic memory capacity is 256K of RAM expandable to
512K. Eight supervised inputs are available on each Input Module; the
apC/L can support a maximum of four Input Modules. Eight additional
relays are available on each Output Module; the apC/L supports a
maximum of four Output modules. While the apC/L does not have any
onboard supervised inputs, supervised input support exists on the Input
Module. See Chapter 5 for a description.
The apC/L is compatible with Sensormatic systems, including the
C•CURE 1 Plus Ultra, C•CURE 750, and C•CURE 800/8000 systems.
Software-Controlled Options
The apC/L offers optional software-controlled features such as timed
activation/deactivation commands, 32-bit card numbers, elevator access,
dialup mode operation, and anti-passback control. A single apC/L can use
multiple card technologies, site codes, and company codes. The apC/L’s
full-year real time calendar/clock allows activation and deactivation of
cards on specified days. If the apC/L is configured with the optional
backup battery, the unit has a power fail input that can be configured to let
you know when the unit has lost its main source of power.
