ACM8CBE
Multi-Output Access Power Controllers
Rev. DSACM8CBE_06192014
ACM8CBE converts one (1) 12 to 24 volt AC or DC input into eight (8)
independently controlled PTC protected outputs. These power outputs can be
converted to dry form “C” contacts. 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 ACM8CBE 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.
This unit is 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 opera-
tion 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 eight (8) outputs.
