1 Safety Instructions
1.1 Important Safety Notes
1. Read, follow, and retain instructions - All safety and operating instructions must be read
and followed properly before putting the unit into operation. Retain instructions for
future reference.
2. Do not ignore warnings - Adhere to all warnings on the unit and in the operating
instructions.
3. Accessories - Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer or those sold with
the product. Accessories not recommended by the manufacturer must not be used, as
they may cause hazards.
4. Installation precautions - Do not place this unit on an unstable stand, tripod, bracket, or
mount. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to persons and damage to the unit. Mount
the unit according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Service - Do not attempt to service this unit by yourself. Opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltages or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
6. Damage which requires service - Disconnect the unit from the main AC or DC power
source and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
– If the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
– If liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen into the unit.
– If the unit has been exposed to water and/or inclement weather (rain, snow, etc.).
– If the unit does not operate normally when following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls specified in the operating instructions. Improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage, and require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the unit to normal operation.
– If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
– If the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance.
7. Replacement parts - If replacement parts are required, the service technician must use
only replacement parts that are specified by the manufacturer. Unauthorized

1.2 Safety Precautions
Read instructions!
Before working with the AMC2 device, read these instructions carefully. Make sure you have
understood all information described in this document.
!
Warning!
Risk of electric shock

Ensure compliance with the relevant regulations.
Ground the controller.
Disconnect both AC and battery power supply before working on the controller.
!
Warning!
Risk of fire
Installation of the AMC2 device must comply with any local fire, health, and safety
regulations. A secured door that may be part of an escape route from an area must be
installed with:
Install a fail-safe lock (A), so that the door will be released if power fails. Ideally, use a
magnetic lock.
Install a normally-closed break glass or a manual pull (B) in the lock supply wiring, so that in
an emergency the fail-safe lock can be immediately powered down.
!
Warning!
Risk of explosion of Lithium battery
The battery can explode if it is replaced incorrectly.
Replace only with the same type as recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose used batteries according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.
Notice!
Risk of damage to equipment
Protect the hardware from electrostatic discharge by observing ESD instructions before
unpacking of touching connectors of electronics.
Always switch off power of the AMC2 device before modifying the installation.
Do not connect or disconnect plug connectors, data cables, or screw connectors while power
is on.

3 Introduction
3.1 Description
The extension module AMC2-4WE is equipped with four Wiegand type reader-interfaces plus
eight inputs and eight outputs. Hence with the AMC2-4WE it is possible to double the number
of readers on an AMC2-4W from 4 to 8.
Figure3.1: The extension module AMC2-4WE
The AMC2-4WE can not be deployed as an independent controller but only as an extension
module for the AMC2-4W. Control and access decisions and bookings are carried out by the
AMC2-4W alone.
Notice!
The AMC2-4WE can only be used with AMC2-4W. As it provides Wiegand interfaces it cannot
be coupled with an AMC2-4R4.
The AMC2-4W can be extended by a maximum of one AMC2-4WE plus a maximum of three I/O
extension modules. The I/O extension modules AMC2-8IOEAMC2-16IOE (in any combination)
are, like the AMC2-4WE, connected via the AMC2-4W’s extension interface.
Notice!
The AMC2-4WE has no display. The information about the input and outputs will be shown on
special pages of the AMC2 display.
As the extension modules contain neither memory nor display they are controlled and
monitored entirely by the AMC2-4W.
The AMC2-4W can have an additional interface extension module AMC2-4WE, so that the
number of inputs and outputs can grow up to 64.
Notice!
An AMC2-4WE provides signals only to the AMC2 to which it is connected. Signal transfer to
another AMC2 is not possible.
The signal settings and parametrization of the readers connected to the extension module, are
carried out by the configuration applications in the access control system and by the
AMC2-4W to which it belongs.

Notice!
If an external power supply is used, this should also guarantee an uninterruptable power
supply (UPS). Example: Bosch power supply APS-PSU-60 (F.01U.282.970).
3.4 System Overview
The AMC2-4WE is connected between the access controller AMC2-4W and the various
peripheral devices.

AMC2 Extension Introduction | en 11
Bosch Access Systems GmbH Installation Manual 2018-02 | AMC2-4WE |
System configurations for Access Control applications.
– The minimum configuration consists of:
– one PC with system software,
– one AMC2 controller,
– one AMC power supply,
– one AMC enclosure.
– The maximum configuration depends on the system software,
– Each AMC2-4W controller can be extended with an AMC2-4WE extension module.
The using of AMC2-4WE modules has no influence on the limit of the maximum of controllers
in one system, because it is an extension to an AMC2-4W and not a controller.
Using Wiegand reader interfaces, up to four peripheral devices can be connected to each
AMC2-4R4. The interfaces are point-to-point connections, meaning that only one reader can be
connected to one interface.

on the delivered CD.
4.1 Mounting
The AMC2-4R4 can be attached on a standard 35mm (1.377in.) mounting rail using a snap-in
mechanism. Attach the AMC2-4R4 into the upper edge of the mounting rail [1], then push
down the device and snap it onto the rail by pushing it towards the back [2].
