Installation Guide
- 2 - ACMJ series
Overview:
These units distribute and switch power to access control systems and accessories. They convert a 115VAC 60Hz input into
eight (8) independently controlled 12VDC or 24VDC fuse 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. Units will route power to a variety of access control hard-
ware devices including: Mag Locks, Electric Strikes, Magnetic Door Holders, etc. Outputs will operate in both Fail-Safe
and/or Fail-Secure modes. 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.
