Setting Up the ACX 700 Controller and Infinet The ACX 700 is a building access controller that can control access to two doors. You can use it to control access through up to four doors by attaching two EMX 190 modules to the ACX 700.

Hardware Installation Controller Dimensions and Weight Each ACX 700 is 19 × 15 × 4.56 in. (483 × 381 × 116) and weighs 17 lbs. (7.73 kg). Power Requirements Caution The ACX 700 should receive power from its own independent, unswitched circuit.
(such as for a card reader) enters or exits a building. Use the following arrestor: Two pair combination gas tube/silicon avalanche ar- restor, Andover Controls # 01-2100-299. 1. You can also use any cables you may already have in place for ACNET or LBUS.
Controls units respond to changes in potential more rapidly than poorly grounded electrical systems, a poorly grounded building tries to reach ground through the Andover Controls system. The surge of current can destroy electronic components on the controller board. Surges of much lower potential than lightning also impact the reliability of Andover Controls equipment.
2. Be sure your Andover Controls cabinet is connected to the ground with a copper conductor that terminates at the distribution panel. Environmental Requirements The ACX 700 operates in rooms with temperatures ranging from 32 to 120°F (0° to 49°C) and with humidity between 10 and 95%, non- condensing.

Hardware Installation Powering Up the ACX 700 Warning Before powering up the controller, be sure the board is jumpered for the correct input voltage. Before you proceed, be sure the following are correct: 1. Be sure you have jumpered the proper input voltage.
EXTERNAL +24V light goes out, it means no power is being supplied to the expansion port. You may have to replace the fuse. See the Andover Controls Infinet Controller Troubleshooting Guide. Reset Button The RESET button is the red square button to the left of the vertical cen- ter of the board.
The SERVICE PORT on the left side of the bottom of the controller is to connect the Andover Controls Service Tool to an ACX 700. The ser- vice tool accesses all ACX 700s and other Infinet controllers on the same network.
Appendix A Underwriters Laboratories Requirements This appendix explains all requirements for installing the ACX 700 in a UL listed system. ACX 700 Installation Guide www.PDF-Zoo.com...
Page 62
UL requirements listed in this manual is a violation of the listing mark of Underwriters Laboratories. EMX 190 modules are UL listed for use with the ACX 700 in access con- trol systems. These modules are designed for use with the open class ACX 700 for access control.
Appendix B Setting the Card Type Jumpers This appendix shows how to switch required jumpers if you change card types from ABA to Wiegand or from Wiegand to ABA. ACX 700 Installation Guide www.PDF-Zoo.com...
Locating the Card Type Jumpers Located inside the ACX 700 cabinet to the right of the Card Type Switches are two sets of 0 Ω resistor jumpers. These jumpers are cor- rectly set for ABA or Wiegand card types when shipped. If you choose to change the card type from ABA to Wiegand or from Wiegand to ABA you must reset the jumpers.
Set the READER 2 jumpers for ABA cards as follows: 1. Find the jumpers labeled J5, J6, J7, and J8 to the right of the Card Type Switch for READER2 on the ACX 700. 2. Using pliers, remove the jumper from J6.
Set the READER 1 for Wiegand cards as follows: 1. Find the jumpers labeled J1, J2, J3, and J4 to the right of the Card Type Switch for READER 1 on the ACX 700. 2. Leave J1 jumpered. 3. Do not jumper J2.
