Printed in Canada - 01/2009
The ACM24D Access Control Module can
control two doors and can support REX devices,
readers, locking devices and door contacts.
Door contacts that are connected to the
ACM24D are programmed using BabyWare
software and can be assigned to zones in the
Imperial system.

Installation
Figure 1: DIN Rail Mounting
The ACM24D is a
standard 35mm
DIN rail module.
Using the
supplied DIN rail,
the ACM24D can
be mounted in any
location.
Release
Alternatively, it
clip
can be mounted in
a standard DIN rail enclosure. To attach the
module, align the top of the DIN rail as shown in
Figure 1 and apply pressure to the module until it
clicks into place. To remove the ACM24D from a
DIN rail, pull the release clip and remove the
module.
To facilitate installation and servicing, the
ACM24D terminals can be detached from the
module. Wires can be labeled using the supplied
tie wraps.
Door contacts connected to the system follow
the control panel's EOL definition. When EOL is
enabled and door contacts are not used, place a
Ω
1k
resistor across the
and
CT
If EOL is disabled, use a jumper. If the REX
device is not used, place a jumper across the
and
terminals.
C
Stand-Alone Mode
The ACM24D stores all access codes and cards
in memory. If panel communication is lost, the
ACM24D will continue to function normally.
Events will be stored in memory. When
communication is restored, events are
automatically uploaded to the panel.
Upgrading the Firmware
Imperial
The firmware of the ACM24D can be in-field
upgraded through the V32's RS485 ACCESS
port using BabyWare.
EVO/DGP
The ACM24D firmware can be upgraded through
WinLoad using the CV4USB RS-485/RS-232
Converter. Refer to the firmware upgrade
instructions found at: paradox.com - Software -
WinLoad - Firmware Upgrade Instructions.
EVO / DGP Programming
When used on an EVO/DGP system, the ACM24 appears in WinLoad as two ACM12 modules.

Example: ACM24D = 3500556A ACM12 #1 = 3500556A
Locate Mode
• For Imperial panels, a Module Locate can be started or stopped using BabyWare software
or by pushing the module's LOC button. When a Module Locate is initiated, a flashing
occurs of the module's LEDs (BUS RX and TX flash at 1Hz) as well as the module's
representation in BabyWare.
• For DGP/EVO panels, a Module Locate can be initiated using section [4002] (EVO) or
[952] (DGP-48 / DGP-848). To end a Module Locate, press the LOC button.
Door LED Feedback
DOOR1 and DOOR2 manual control buttons display door status and can override door
programming. Manually unlocked doors remain unlocked for the minimum period
programmed in BabyWare.
