Events and Event Actions 
Tamper Event 
A Tamper Event is triggered if the controller 
detects that a reader has been disconnected or 
loses power, and can also be triggered if the case 
of the reader is removed. 
Possible Tamper Event Actions
Reader sensor wire is disconnected from the AC-
020 DOOR 1 / DOOR 2 reader input terminal 
Tamper data signal is received from DOOR 1 / 
DOOR 2 reader sensor 
To clear a Tamper Event enter a valid code or 
Lock Strike code which will open the door locker 
output of the Door that caused the tamper event. 
For example, tamper condition at Door 2 during 
Secure status, entering Door 2 Lock Strike Code 
1 (default 0852) from external reader will not 
clear tamper because it is not permitted to open 
the door during this operation mode. However, 
applying the same code from the AC-020 
keyboard will clear tamper output as well as 
opening Door 2 Lock Strike and stopping the 
siren (assuming no Door 1 tamper).
