1. Introduction

AC-225, AC-225IP and AC-225IPU access control panels are state-of-the­art networked access controllers, employing the latest technology to
meet the requirements of the market.

When used in combination with Rosslare's AxTrax software system, the AC­225 gives you full control over access to your premises. The system can
control both single and double door entrances and up to four doors, with
MD-D02 two Door expansion module. AC-225 supports up to 30,000 users
and uses flash memory to enable easy firmware upgrades.

For more information on the AxTrax AS-525 system, refer to the AxTrax
Access Control Software Manual.

The AC-225 consists of the following components:

• AC-225 controller board

• Panel enclosure

• PS-33 power supply

• Power Transformer (not included with the AC-225IPU)

• 4 x 2.2k Ohm and 4 x 8.2k Ohm resistors for the supervised inputs.

The AC-225IPU also includes on-board support for communications across
a TCP/IP network.

The AC-225U and AC-225IPU are for US installations, and have been
approved by UL for use as a stand-alone unit only.

1.2 AxTrax AS-525

The AxTrax AS-525 software system is custom designed to set-up, manage
and supervise all aspects of a 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 4092

Note:

These options are software and firmware dependent, and
may change in later releases or revisions.

Client-Server Structure

AxTrax AS-525 operates through a dedicated AxTrax server computer,
which communicates with the access control panels and can serve an
unlimited number of network clients.

Introduction

AC-225 Hardware Installation and User Guide

Page 6

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.

AxTrax AS-525 supports all panel types and offers scalability 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.

AxTrax AS-525 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, allowing a limited number of entries
to each panel.

Fingerprint Recognition

AxTrax can share user details with Rosslare's BioTrax software system. The
BioTrax system can then download all selected users information to an
AYC-W6500 fingerprint reader.

Note: Fingerprint recognition was not evaluated by UL.

1.3 Compatible Readers

For UL-compliant installations, use any of the following UL-listed PIN and
PROX card readers made by Rosslare:

AY-H12, AY-J12, AY-K12, AY-L12, AY-M12, AY-Q12, AYC-F54, AYC-F64, AYC­G54, AYC-G64, AYC-Q54B, or AYC-Q64B

Note:

For models: AC-225U and AC-225IPU
These models come without a transformer. When using a
third-party transformer, please make sure that it is rated for at
least 50W (16.5 VAC @ 3A).
AC-225U and AC-225IPU have a maximum 50Wpower­consumption, which means that it requires 3.0A. This rated
power is divided in the system, as follows:

1) 300 mA for the Lead Acid Battery Charger

2) 980mA total for four readers (when MD-D02 is used)

3) 900mA total for the four outputs
In cases where the installation requires more power (for
example high rated magnetic locks) we recommend using

an external power supply for the lock.

Note:

UL-listed panic hardware must be used to allow emergency
exit from the protected area.

3. AC-225 Panel Set-Up

Every AC-225 panel controls one or two doors (up to 4 doors with MD­D02). The panels connect together in a network and are controlled by a
central server computer, running the AS-525 AxTrax software system.

The following diagram shows an example set-up for a network of AC-225
access control panels.

When wiring the AC-225 for supervised inputs, resistors should be placed
on the input switch and not on the terminal block.

For further details refer to Input and Output Connections on page 17.
