Overview:
T
hese units convert one (1) 12 to 24 volt AC or DC input into eight (8) independently controlled fused or PTC protected
o
utputs. These power outputs can be converted to dry form “C” contacts (ACM8 & ACM8E only). Outputs are activated
b
y 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. 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 eight (8) outputs.

2. Power supply input:
The units can be powered with one (1) power supply which will provide power for both board operation and
the locking devices or two (2) separate power supplies, one (1) to provide power for the board operation and
the other to provide power for the locking devices and/or access control hardware.
Note: The input power can be either 12 to 24 volts AC or DC (.6 amp @ 12volt, .3 amp @ 24volt current
consumption with all relays energized).
(a) Single power supply input:
If the unit and the locking devices are to be powered using a single power supply, connect the output
(12 to 24 volts AC or DC) to the terminals marked [- Control +].
(b) Dual power supply inputs (Fig. 1, pg. 4):
When the use of two power supplies is desired, jumpers J1 and J2 (located to the left of the power/control
terminals) must be cut. Connect power for the unit to the terminals marked [- Control +] and connect power for the
locking devices to the terminals marked [- Power +].
Note: When using DC power supplies polarity must be observed. When using AC power supplies polarity
need not be observed.
Note: For UL compliance the power supplies must be UL Listed for Access Control Systems and accessories.

Output options (Fig. 1, pg. 4):
The ACM8/ACM8E will provide either eight (8) switched power outputs, eight (8) dry form “C” outputs, or
any combination of of both switched power and form “C” outputs, plus eight (8) unswitched auxiliary power outputs.
ACM8CB/ACM8CBE will provide eight (8) switched power outputs or eight (8) unswitched auxiliary power
