1. Introduction
AC-225, AC-225IP and AC-225U access control panels are
state-of-the-art networked access controllers, employing the
latest technology to meet the requirements of the market.
When used in combination with Rosslare's VeriTrax software
system, the AC-225 gives you full control over access to your
premises. The system can control both single and double door
entrances, supports up to 30,000 users and uses flash memory
to enable easy firmware upgrades.
For more information on the VeriTrax AS-225 system, refer to the
VeriTrax Access Control System User Guide.
The AC-225 consists of the following components:
• AC-225 controller board
• Panel enclosure
• PS-14 power supply
• Power Transformer (not included with the AC-225U)
The AC-225IP also includes on-board support for
communications across a TCP/IP network.
The AC-225U is for US installations. It has been approved by UL
for use as a stand-alone unit only.

1.2 VeriTrax AS-225
The VeriTrax AS-225 software system is custom designed to setup, manage and supervise all aspects of an access panel
network.
It offers the following capabilities:
Users capacity 30000
Unauthorized Users 30000
Access groups 30000
Number of panels in system 1023
Number of doors in system 2046
Note:
These options are software and firmware dependent, and
may change in later releases or revisions.

Client-Server Structure
VeriTrax AS-225 operates through a dedicated VeriTrax server
computer, which communicates with the access control
panels and can serve an unlimited number of network clients.
The server also runs the system's SQL database, which contains
settings and definitions for access control across the entire
facility. Clients can define new employees and control access
permissions. The system includes tools for database backup,
input and export of previous configurations and automatic
backing-up on a periodic basis.
VeriTrax AS-225 supports all panel types and offers sca lability
and flexibility in addition to a range of advanced control
features.
Configurable Links
The system's configurable links model makes it possible to
trigger any chosen output automatically or report a
configurable alarm, based on a selected input. This allows easy
integration with other access systems such as intruder alarms,
CCTV systems and elevator controls.
VeriTrax AS-225 can also define a selected set of operations
(defined in configurable links) when a panel registers a
specified user or group of users. This can be useful, for
example, in elevator control systems. The system can assign
users with counters, allowi ng a limited number of entries to
each panel.
Fingerprint Recognition
VeriTrax can share user details with Rosslare's BioTraxNet
software system. The BioTraxNet system can then download all
selected users information to an AYC-W6500 fingerprint reader.

AC-225 Panel Set-Up
3. AC-225 Panel Set-Up
Every AC-225 panel controls one or two doors. The panels
connect together in a network and are controlled by a central
server computer, running the AS-225 VeriTrax software system.
The following diagram shows an example set-up for a network
of AC-225 access control panels.

3.2 Inputs Wiring – Supervised Inputs
When wiring the AC-225 for supervised inputs, resistors should
be placed on th e input switch and not on the ter minal block.

3.3 Outputs Wiring
The following diagram illustrates wiring for two main types of
12VDC electrical release mechanisms. Other electrical
devices can be switched using the voltage free relay contacts.

3.4 Power Supply
The following diagram illustrates wiring between the PS-14
power supply and the AC-225. It is recommended to add a
12VDC lead acid backup battery if the main power supply
fails. If the main output is 12VDC, wire it to the PS-14. Otherwise
support your power supply according to the output
requirements. For further information refer to the
Outputs
section on page
24.
