These alerts are described in greater detail in the sections below. 2.2 Card Reader Alerts The ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL controllers contain 3 types of Card Reader alerts: • Overlay/Skim Detector – detects skimming hardware atop the Card Reader faceplate (Overlay) or presence of an unauthorized NFC reader in the vicinity •...
When a stolen card is inserted into a Card Reader running on the ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL system, the con- troller will compare it to the numbers on its stolen-card list. The system will identify the card as suspect, keep the controlled door(s) locked, and the LED indicator on the Card Reader will flash red.
When the box is opened, the switch breaks contact and a controller-cache message is generated within ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL memory. (This can be viewed by selecting Audit Trail when ACS Enterprise is connected to the Controller, or by selecting View Reports under the Site Management screen in ACS Enterprise when not connected to the controller.)

3.1 Controller Box Installation 3.1.1 Secure Controller Location The ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL Controller should be mounted in a secure yet accessible area, preferably with a lockable door. Close proximity to the Card Readers is also recommended for easier cabling. Examples of desirable mounting locations include: •...
3.1.3 Mounting the Controller Box and Routing Wires The ACS-1E Controller box contains 4 mounting holes to secure the box to a wall or controller and 5 knock-out holes for routing wires into the box from the top controller, the right-hand side controller and rear controller.
2. Mount the ACS-1E controller box on the plywood board using 3/4” wood screws. (You may also add flat washers to keep the wood screws from penetrating the plywood to the wall surface.) 3.

3.3.1.4 Wiring the Door Control and Additional Outputs The ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL can support one door (or two doors with the same schedule) when the Controller is installed alone, and two independent door locks when the Second Card Reader option is installed.
Page 31
The Magnetic Lock and the Door Strike shown are the two most common devices used with the ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL Controller System. The Magnetic Lock remains active when the controlled door is locked while the Door Strike remains inactive until a request for entry is received.

ACS-1EUL Second Card Reader Output Ports I/O Board Outputs The I/O Board Outputs are identical in nature to Outputs 1 & 2 on the ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL Controller and can be used to signal additional alarm controller inputs, operate automatic door openers, or activate security cameras.
ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL Installation Because the I/O Board presently involves custom designed installations, please refer to information from the financial institution, security firm, or Parabit Systems before installing and wiring the ACS-1E system. Wiring details and diagrams will be provided for these installations.

4.2 Post-Installation Testing ......................42 4.3 Troubleshooting ........................53 4.1 Post-Installation Checks Once the ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL Controller has been installed and its card readers, door locks, and other output devices are in place, the system’s functionality must be thoroughly tested. 4.1.1 Default Settings Each Controller leaves the Parabit factory after passing a full set of operational tests.
• 1x Digital Multimeter {DMM} (with Low Resistance range or “Continuity” function) 4.1.2 Preliminary Hardware Checks 1. Check to see that all ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL circuit board mounting screws are tight 2. Check all Input and Output wires (especially those sheathed extensions carrying Card Reader sig- nals, sensor signals, and door-lock control current) to make sure they are wired as directed 3.
3. Prior to connecting the power supply, make sure the Controller power switch is toggled to “OFF.” Then, do the following: a. Insert the ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL power supply into its intended AC power socket. Be sure not to short the supply wire ends.
Confirm that the latest customer-approved sticker is located in the vicinity of the Card Reader. 4.2 Post-Installation Testing Review the diagrams below and complete the tests for each component of the ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL systems. ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL Install and Service Manual Ver 2...

When planning to perform an MMR skim test, a device that operates as an NFC reader is required. Begin by turning on the ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL controller and performing MMR System Configuration. (Assistance from an administrator may be required.) Then, if the MMR reader is newly installed or replaced, perform the serial match operation by shorting the JP6 pins.
