LINQ8ACM and LINQ8ACMCB

Network Access Power Controllers

Description

Altronix LINQ8ACM and LINQ8ACMCB are dual input network access power controllers which can be
installed in Altronix wall and rack mount enclosures to facilitate access control deployment. Access
Power Controller’s dual input design allows power to be steered from one (1) or two (2) independent low
voltage 12 or 24 VDC Altronix power supplies to eight (8) independently controlled fuse (LINQ8ACM) or
PTC (LINQ8ACMCB) protected outputs. Outputs are activated by an open collector sink, normally open
(NO), normally closed (NC) dry trigger input, or wet output from an Access Control System, Card Reader,
Keypad, Push Button, PIR, etc. LINQ8ACM(CB) 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 LINQ8ACM(CB) modules. This feature allows you to distribute the power over more outputs
for larger systems. Built-in LINQTM Network Power Management facilitates monitoring, reporting and
control of power/diagnostics.

LINQ8ACM

LINQ8ACM and LINQ8ACMCB have built-in LINQ technology which facilitates monitoring, reporting,
and control of one (1) or two (2) low voltage AC or supervised DC power supply/chargers over the
network. They report diagnostics via Email and Windows Dashboard Alert notifications, greatly
reducing system downtime and eliminating unnecessary service calls. LINQ8ACM and LINQ8ACMCB
retrofit with most currently installed multi-output power supply/chargers.
