Safety Instructions

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.

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 replacements
may result in fire, electrical shock or other hazards.

8. Safety check - Upon completion of service or repair work
on the unit, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to ensure that the unit operates properly

9. Power sources - Operate the unit only from the type of
power source indicated on the label. If unsure of the type
of power supply to use, contact your dealer
– For units intended to operate on battery power, refer

to the operating instructions.

– For units intended to operate with external power

supplies, use only the recommended approved power
supplies corresponding to norm EN/UL 60950.

– For units intended to operate with a limited power

source, this power source must comply with EN/UL

60950. Unsuitable replacements may damage the unit
or cause fire or shock.

– For units intended to operate at 12V DC normal input

voltage is 12V DC. Voltage input must never exceed
15V DC.

10. Lightning - For added protection during electrical storms
external lightning conductors can be installed. This
prevents power surges from damaging the unit.

11. The units should be installed in locations with restricted
access.

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

External power supplies must be installed and put into service

by qualified personnel.

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.

Unpacking

Check the packaging for visible damage. If anything has been
damaged during transport, please inform the transport agency.
Unpack the unit carefully. This is an electronic device that must
be handled with care to avoid damage. Do not attempt to put
the unit into operation if components are damaged.
If any parts are missing, inform your customer service
representative or a Bosch Security Systems salesperson. The
shipping carton is the safest transport container for the unit.
Store it and the other packaging material for future use. If the
unit has to be sent back, use the original packaging.

3.1.1

Introduction

Description

Extension AMC2-16IOE

The extension board AMC2-16IOE can be used with an AMC2
controller. It serves additional inputs and outputs.

Figure 3.1: The extension board AMC2-16IOE

The AMC2 has eight analog input devices and eight relay
outputs. With its analog input devices, the AMC2 verifies, for
example, if a lock is closed or open. The relay outputs can be
used to activate lock mechanisms if access is granted, or
activate an external alarm system if an intrusion or system alert
is detected.
If the eight inputs and eight outputs of the AMC2 are not enough
to configure the system up to three additional extensions
AMC2-16IOE can be connected. The extension offers 16
additional inputs and 16 outputs.
The AMC2-16IOE electronics are completely covered by a plastic
housing.
Up to three extensions can be connected to an AMC2, making a
maximum of 56 inputs and outputs available.

Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH 2013-08 | AMC2-16IOE |

12 en | Introduction AMC2 Extensions

Notice!

The AMC2-16IOE has no display. The information about the

input and outputs will be shown on special pages of the AMC2

display.

Notice!

An AMC2-16IOE provides signals only to the AMC2 to which it is

connected. Signal transfer to another AMC2 is not possible.

3.1.2

Extension AMC2-8IOE

To optimize the utilization of the available signals the extension
module can be delivered in a reduced version, too. The
AMC2-8IOE has eight inputs and eight outputs. The places of the
pluggable screw connectors are on one side of the module - the
other side will be closed by the housing.
For Properietary Burglar Alarm installations (BIS) AMC2-16IOE
and AMC2-8IOE can be combined - for example: two
AMC2-16IOE together with one AMC2-8IOE. However the
maximum of three extensions per AMC2 still applies.
For Access Control (Access PE) only one extension is
permissible.

AMC2 Extensions Introduction | en 13

Notice!

The AMC2-8IOE is identical in all respects to the AMC2-16IOE

except in the number of inputs and outputs. Information in this

manual refers to all three extensions described here, unless

explicitly stated otherwise.

3.1.3

Extension AMC2-16IE

Another variant of the extension modul AMC2-16IOE is the
AMC2-16IE which offers connectors for input signals only.
The inputs are located at the same positions as on the
AMC2-16IOE. The output connections in the AMC2-16IE are not
usable. Within a system configuration the AMC2-16IE is treated
as a normal extension module:
It can be connected at any AMC2. Up to three extensions (for
BIS three, for Access PE only one) can be connected to an
AMC2. Extension variants can be used in any combination.
