AC-425 Panel Set-Up Inputs Wiring – Supervised Inputs When wiring the AC-425 for supervised inputs, resistors should be placed on the input switch and not on the terminal block. For more details, refer to Input and Output Connections on page 19.
Power Supply The following diagram illustrates wiring between the PS-33 power supply and the AC-425. It is recommended to add a 12 VDC lead acid backup battery if the main power supply fails. If the main output is 12 VDC, wire it to the PS-33, whose load ratings are 1.5 A/0.9 A/0.3 A;...
AC-425 Panel Set-Up Figure 6: Wiring Between PS-33 and AC-425 Readers Proximity & keypad readers are supplied with a limited cable. The color of the cable cover represents the cable’s function according to Wiegand standards. Note: When extending the cable distance, be careful with the color of the cable cover.
The MD-IO84 is an optional I/O expansion board that adds 4 relay outputs and 8 supervised inputs to the Access Control Panel. Attach the MD-IO84 to the AC-425's expansion slot, as marked in red in Figure 8). For more information, see the MD- IO84 Installation and User Guide.

AC-425 Hardware Settings 5. AC-425 Hardware Settings Each AC-425 panel controls an entrance. The behavior of the panel is controlled by DIP switch settings. Select the appropriate DIP switch setting to operate the panel as either a single door, a double door, or four doors. Refer to AC-425 Panel Type, on page 34.

After changes have been made, reboot the panel. The new settings are automatically defined after power up. AC-425 Panel Baud Rate The AC-425 panel serial port baud rate, set in DIP switches 1 and 2, defines the communication speed for connecting with a PC in a network connection.
AxTraxNG™ Network configuration of baud rate. AC-425 Panel Type The AC-425 panel type is defined using the third DIP switch. There are two panel types: a panel with one reader per each door or a panel with two readers per each door. This DIP switch setting influences the number of readers per door in the panel.

For successful communications, the DIP switch must match the address set in the AxTraxNG™ software. The following table displays the 32 address settings available: Address Switch 4 Switch 5 Switch 6 Switch 7 Switch 8 AC-425 Hardware Installation and User Guide Page 35...

AxTraxNG™ server. The default baud rate is 9600 bps for direct connection to the computer. When using an RS-232 connector, only one AC-425 panel can be linked to each communication port on the computer. Use an RS-485 if you wish to connect more than one panel on one communication port.
Page 38
Communications Note: The RS-232 connects the computer to only a single AC-425 panel. The distance between the computer and the AC-425 panel must be no more than 150 feet (50 meters). If the baud rate is increased to 57600 or beyond, the distance must be no more than 30 feet (10 meters).
The connection settings are controlled within the AxTraxNG™ Client software. AC-425 panels connect to the TCP/IP network (LAN or WAN) directly, using an on-board network module. When an access control panel network is connected using RS-485, up to 32 panels can be connected on each TCP/IP network.
Page 40
Use a TCP/IP connection when a LAN network already exists and the long RS-485 network is not required. The following schematic illustrates the connection of a single AC-425 to a computer via a LAN network. Figure 20: MD-N32 Configuration connecting a single panel The maximum distance from the Ethernet port of the panel to the LAN/WAN connection is 328 ft.
