ACMS8 and ACMS8CB

Multi-Output Access Power Controllers

Description

Altronix ACMS8 and ACMS8CB dual input design allows power to be steered from two (2)
independent low voltage 5 to 24 VDC power sources into eight (8) independently controlled
fuse or PTC protected outputs. In ACMS8, these power outputs can also be converted to dry
form “C” contacts. Outputs are activated by an open collector sink, normally open (NO) or
normally closed (NC) dry trigger input from an Access Control System, Card Reader, Keypad,
Push Button, PIR, etc. ACMS8/ACMS8CB 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. 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. The spade
connectors allow you to daisy chain power to multiple ACMS8/ACMS8CB modules. This
feature allows you to distribute the power over more outputs for larger systems.

ACMS8 and ACMS8CB

Multi-Output Access Power Controllers

ACMS8K1 and ACMS8CBK1

Altronix offers ACMS8(CB) kits which include a multi-output Access Power
Controller and VR6 - Voltage Regulator, along with all necessary hardware.

Altronix VR6 & ACMS8 easily snap together to provide 12VDC and 24VDC

simultaneously – individually selectable over each of the 8 outputs... all on one footprint!

- VR6 reduces the cost of adding another power supply.

- ACMS8 is designed to piggyback onto the VR6, making an
instant plug-in connection via common standoffs.

- Stackable mounting configuration saves valuable enclosure space.
