Specifications - Altronix ACMS8 Installation Manual

Altronix ACMS8(CB) Access Power Controller's dual input design allows power to be steered from two (2)
independent low voltage 12 or 24VDC power sources to eight (8) independently controlled fuse (ACMS8) or
PTC (ACMS8CB) protected outputs. Power outputs of ACMS8(CB) can be converted to dry form "C" contacts.
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. Outputs will operate in both Fail-Safe and/or Fail-Secure modes. The FACP Interface enables
Emergency Egress, Alarm Monitoring, or may be used to trigger other auxiliary devices. The fire alarm discon-
nect feature is individually selectable for any or all of the eight (8) outputs. The spade connectors allow you to
daisy chain power to multiple ACMS8(CB) modules. This feature allows you to distribute the power over more
outputs for larger systems.
Power Supply Input Options:
• Input 1 and Input 2 voltage range:
ACMS8:
5VDC to 24VDC, up to 10A each,
20A total input.
ACMS8CB: 5VDC to 24VDC up to 10A each,
16A total input.
• Eight (8) trigger inputs:
a) Normally open (NO) inputs.
b) Normally closed (NC) inputs.
c) Open collector sink inputs.
d) Wet Input (5VDC - 24VDC) with 10K resistor
e) Any combination of the above.
Outputs:
• ACMS8:
Fuse protected outputs rated @ 2.5A
per output, non power-limited.

Do not exceed the individual
power supply ratings.
ACMS8CB: PTC protected outputs rated @ 2A
per output, Class 2 power-limited.
Total output 16A max.
Do not exceed the individual
power supply ratings.
Total output current should not exceed max. current
rating of the power supplies employed on each input.
See Maximum Output of Altronix Power Supplies.
• Eight (8) selectable independently controlled
outputs or eight (8) indepently controlled
Form "C" relay outputs (see below for ratings):
a) Fail-Safe and/or Fail-Secure power outputs.
b) Form "C" relays rated @ 2.5A.
c) Auxiliary power outputs (unswitched).
d) Any combination of the above.
• Individual outputs may be set to OFF position for
servicing (output jumper set to middle position).
Does not apply to Dry Contact applications.

Overview:

Specifications:

Outputs (cont'd):
• Any of the eight (8) fuse/PTC protected power
outputs are selectable to follow power Input 1 or
Input 2. Output voltage of each output is the same
as the input voltage of the input selected.
• Surge suppression.
Fire Alarm Disconnect:
• Fire Alarm disconnect (latching or non-latching) is
individually selectable for any or all of the
eight (8) outputs.
Fire Alarm disconnect input options:
a) Normally open [NO] or normally closed [NC]
dry contact input. Polarity reversal input from
FACP signaling circuit.
• FACP output relay [NC] contact or provides
10k resistance with [EOL JMP] intact.
Outputs Ratings:
ACMS8:
ACMS8CB: PTCs are rated 2A each.
Fuse Ratings:
• Main input fuses rated @ 10A/32V each.
LED Indicators:
• Red LEDs indicate outputs are triggered.
• Blue LED indicates FACP disconnect is triggered.
Environmental:
• Operating temperature: 0ºC to 49ºC ambient.
