Altronix ACM4E Installation Instructions - Manual (Page 2)

- 2 - ACM4 series
Overview:
These units convert one (1) 12 to 24 volt AC or DC input into four (4) independently controlled fused or PTC protected
outputs. These power outputs can be converted to dry form “C” contacts (ACM4/ACM4E 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. All interconnecting devices must be UL Listed. Outputs will operate 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 individually selectable for any or all
of the four (4) outputs.
