The basic architecture of an AEC2.1 system can be divided into two main building blocks,
namely the Power and the Function. The Power block provides the required power to all the
modules and sustains the system in times of AC power failure. The electrical input sources
vary according to individual electrical power standards in the country.
The Function block can be divided into three different modules namely the Software, the
Processor and the Interface module. These modules work together to define the system’s
characteristics and behaviors. Interactions between the modules are carried out through
standard RS232 and RS485 channels. Such architecture structure allows versatilities in
system designing and building.
Based on hardware configuration and database setup, AEC2.1 offers all the features and
functions available with high-end access controllers.
–Door access control using card readers, or card reader and PIN code
–In and Out readers for high security areas
–Video verification for door access
–View Live and Playback videos
–Download event videos to PC
–Anti-passback control
–Alarm monitoring of reader controlled doors for Door Held and Door Forced conditions
–Alarm monitoring of non-reader doors and other inputs
–Manual door unlocking and locking
–Automatic door locking and unlocking based on schedules
–Automatic Arming and Disarming of input points
–Lighting and output control based on schedules
–Special scheduling option for holidays
–Built-in reporting capabilities
–Common alarm output for connection to intrusion alarm system
AEC2.1 supports a wide range of applications, it is necessary you understand how to
configure it and select the necessary hardware, such as card readers or additional input/
output boards.
Unlike other access controllers, no special software is required on a host computer. The
software needed to program and operate the AEC2.1 is built in the controller. Data entry and
system monitoring functions are performed by connecting to the controller with a standard
Web browser, such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer version 7.0.
For more information on using the data entry and monitoring screens, refer to the AEC2.1
Software Manual.

NOTICE!
Each connector is able to provide a maximum current of 150mA at 12 VDC. This is sufficient
power for most readers. Readers requiring higher current will need to have the power
supplied from an external power supply.
5.1.3Input Connectors
Two 8-pin terminal strips across the top of the 4-Reader board provide termination points for
the door contacts and request-to-exit devices associated with the readers. The terminal strips
are identified as T6 and T7 on the 4-Reader board.
For each of the four readers this board can control, there are two terminals each for
connection of a door contact and a request-to-exit device. Both circuits (contact and REX) are
supervised and should be terminated according to the type of supervision applied to that
particular input (Section 9.5.1 Wiring Diagram for Supervised Inputs, page 51). If either contact
or REX device are not to be used, then the termination resistor should be installed across the
terminals within the controller. Refer to Section 9 How to Install Reader and Field Devices, page 41, for detailed wiring diagrams.

5.1.4Output Connectors
Four 6-pin terminal strips provide connections for door strike and/or magnetic lock control.
The four terminal strips are labelled on the circuit boards as T2, T3, T4 and T5. The output
terminals are Form-C type dry contacts from relays located on the 4-Reader board. Each
output relay provides Normally Closed (N/C), Normally Open (N/O) and a Common terminal
(COM). Each relay also has a corresponding LED, that lights up whenever the relay is
activated.
T2 provides output connection points for readers 1 and 2. T3 provides output connection
points for readers 3 and 4. T4 provides connection points for two spare relays. T5 provides
two spare relay outputs, except on the first 4-Reader board. T5, relay 8 provides a common
alarm output for all Reader boards.
On the first 4-Reader board, the last relay is assigned in the software to provide a common
alarm output from the controller. This relay is intended to provide an easy hand-off by the
controller of an alarm indication to an external burglar alarm system. The common alarm relay
will activate whenever a Door Forced Open or Door Held Open alarm is detected by the
controller. It will also activate when the controller's door tamper circuit is activated, or in
occurrence of an AC power failure.
The common alarm relay will reset when all alarm conditions have returned to normal.
Detailed information concerning the common alarm output is provided in this manual.
NOTICE!
The contacts of all relays are rated at DC 24V/1A maximum.
