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.

1. For ACM4/ACM4CB sub-assembly boards, use stand-offs to mount only in AL300ULX, AL400ULX or
AL600ULX enclosures (Figs. 8-9, pg. 8). For ACM4E/ACM4CBE units, mount in desired location.
The enclosure door for the ACM4E/A
Mark and predrill holes in the wall to line up with the top two keyholes in the enclosure. Install three upper
fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding. Place the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two
upper screws, level and secure. Mark the position of the lower three holes. Remove the enclosure. Drill the lower
holes and install the two fasteners. Place the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two upper screws. Install the
two lower screws and make sure to tighten all screws (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 7).

switch brack
et onto the edge of the enclosure approximately 2” from the right side.
Connect tamper switch wiring to the Listed Access Control Panel input or the appropriate UL Listed reporting device,
to activate alarm signal when the door of the enclosure is open.
Maintenance:
Unit should be tested at least once a year for the proper operation. Voltage on each output has to be tested for both
trigger and non-trigger states and operation of FACP interface has to be simulated.
