Introduction
The WQX Wireless Access Controller (WAC) controls
access to one door or access point. It runs on four AA
batteries, or can be externally powered with a DC
power supply. The WAC can be purchased integrated
in a box with power supply or can be purchased stand-
alone. If purchased as a stand-alone unit the power
supply powering the WAC (WQX alone with no other
devices connected) must be able to deliver at least
500mA.
