Outputs are activated by an open collector sink, normally open (NO), normally closed (NC) dry trigger input, or wet output from an Access Control System, Card Reader, Keypad, Push Button, PIR, etc. ACMS8(CB) will route power to a variety of access control hardware devices including Mag Locks, Electric Strikes, Magnetic Door Holders, etc.
When form “C” outputs are desired, the corresponding jumper (1-8) must be placed in the OFF position (Fig. 1, pg. 3). Alternatively, the corresponding output fuse (1-8) can be removed (ACMS8 only). Connect negative (–) of the power supply directly to the locking device.
Eight (8) selectable 5VDC-24VDC independently controlled outputs [Fail-Safe (NC) or Output 8 Fail-Secure (NO)] and eight (8) independently controlled Form “C” Relay outputs. NO, C, NC, COM Fuses are rated 2.5A each (ACMS8). PTCs are rated 2A each (ACMS8CB). - 4 - ACMS8/CB Sub-Assembly...

VR6 voltage regulator converts a 24VDC input into a regulated 5VDC or 12VDC output. It is specifically designed to work with ACMS8(CB) by allowing to mount the Access Power Controller directly on top of VR6 to save enclosure space and simplify connections. Refer to VR6 Installation Guide Rev. 050517.
