ACS5000 Installation Manual

Before you begin installing the Brivo control panel, perform the following tasks to ensure a safe, speedy, and

successful installation.

Understand the function of the Brivo ACS5000 control panel (A/E/S).

The ACS5000-E, ACS5000-A, and ACS5000-S are four (4) reader control panels with multiple access

points (up to four readers per chassis). This control panel is considered a standalone system. The

main board has two (2) readers on-board, and one additional expansion board can be integrated with

the main board which will form the four (4) reader panel. Additional expansion panels (ACS5000-EXP)

can connect to the main control panel with two expansion boards in each. Each expansion board can

be a door board (two (2) readers on board) or an input-output board.

The Brivo ACS5000-E uses an on-board Ethernet interface to communicate via any TCP/IP networking

technology that can be connected through a hub, router or switch, including Wi-Fi and satellite

communications. It is an IP-enabled Access Control System that interacts with the Brivo OnAir cloud

server via the Brivo OnAir application.

The Brivo ACS5000-A is identical to the ACS5000-E except that the ACS5000-A communicates to a

Brivo OnSite Server instead of the Brivo OnAir cloud server.

The Brivo ACS5000-S is identical to the ACS5000-E except that the ACS5000-S cannot communicate

through the web. Instead, it is programmed through an on-board interface for data management.

The ACS5008-E, ACS5008-A, and ACS5008-S are identical to their respective ACS5000 models except

for a larger enclosure which allows for two additional expansion boards (for a total of up to four door

boards and/or input-output boards). Also, the ACS5008 series are connected to two (2) 12V, 7Ah

batteries for standby power (Batteries should be connected in parallel).

For communications to remote sites or other locations not served by wired bandwidth technologies,

the Brivo ACS5000-E can be linked to a Brivo Cellular Network Router (CNR).

Because the ACS5000-E downloads all credential information and operating parameters from the

Brivo OnAir cloud server, it must be properly installed and configured through the Brivo OnAir cloud

server before it is fully functional.

Understand Brivo ACS5000 product compatibility.

The ACS5000 control panel is compatible with a large number of standard reader models including

the following (UL tested for compatibility) reader models: Essex KTP162, Essex KTP163, HID 5355,

HID 5365, HID 6005, HID 310, AWID KP-6840, and BIOSCRYPT VSmart. Brivo products are designed

to accommodate the latest updates in Wiegand formats. The ACS5000 control board is compatible

with Wiegand devices that transmit up to 255-bit data.

A current list of compatible readers and keypads is maintained on Brivo's website at
