  • Page 7: Overview

    Any card reader with standard Wiegand or mag stripe output can be connected to the AIM-4SL. Provided for each of the four readers are exit push button, door contact and other general purpose inputs as well as are on-board strike relay and an additional general purpose relay outputs.
  • Page 8 Unlocked—Door strike is continuously energized and the door contact input is not monitored. Access is not controlled. o Facility Code—The entire card contents are read by the AIM-4SL, but only the Facility Code is checked, and if it matches a Facility Code downloaded from the AAN/AAM controller, access is granted.

    Terminal Connectors The AIM-4SL has 9 terminal blocks for connecting power, reader and alarm inputs, and relay output connections. The connection terminals are factory equipped with removable screw-down quick connectors which are easily removed from the board by firmly grasping the connector and pulling away from the board.

  • Page 14: Dip Switches

    AIM-4SL Hardware Manual DIP Switches The AIM-4SL has one block of DIP switches, with 8 switches. These switches are used to set various configuration options for the interface. It is recommended to power the board down before making any changes in the DIP switch settings as any changes will not take effect unless the power is cycled.

  • Page 15: Dip Switch Function

    The module should be installed so the long end extends towards the middle of the board and the mounting holes provided on the AIM-4Sl and ASM align so a plastic stand-off can be attached to connect the holes. Alternatively, for network configurations, an ENI-100 Ethernet Interface Module can be installed in the socket.

  • Page 16: Normal Operation

    LED blinks many times a second or lighted solid, depending on the amount of activity. Firmware The operating program for the AIM-4SL is stored in re-programmable flash memory. In the event that the firmware must be re-installed or updated, no chips need to be replaced on the panel. The new program can be loaded from the host via special software.

    Power Power Connection: TB7 Power is supplied to the AIM-4SL by the voltage connection in terminal block 7 (see Part 2.1 for exact locations of terminals). The power connection should be 12-28 VDC. Power consumption is 250 mA. The AIM-4SL is protected from over-current and over-voltage by on-board circuitry.

    5. Connect the new unit to the RS-485 line only if no ground fault is found. Communication Connection The serial connection from the AIM-4SL to controller devices is used to collect requests and information from the AIM-4SL to the controller and for the controller to transmit responses to these messages. The AIM-4SL does not originate communication on the device communication lines but waits for a poll from the controller and then establishes communication for configuration.

  • Page 22: Rs-485 Communications Line

    The controller will serve as “Master” on the line and the other field devices (such as the AIM-4SL) as “Slaves”. There can only be one master per line. The transmit lines of the MASTER device are connected to the receive lines of the SLAVE devices and the receive lines of the MASTER device are connected to the transmit lines of the SLAVE devices.
  • Page 23 CORRECT CORRECT INCORRECT INCORRECT Figure 3.4.1.1 RS-485 Bus Configuration. The RS-485 communication line must be laid out in a daisy-chain wiring pattern. Avoid wiring devices in a ‘star’ configuration to avoid reflections and termination problems. © 2011 Apollo Security Inc.

  • Page 24: Card Reader Wiring

    AIM-4SL power input. There must be sufficient power to supply the load of all readers as well as for the AIM-4SL itself (+12 to +24VDC @ 250 mA). If the readers have a greater total power requirement, or if there are other wiring concerns, external power supplies should be used to power the readers.

  • Page 25: Reader Input Wiring

    Reader Input Wiring The each of the four reader inputs on the AIM-4SL has three input circuits (Door Contact, Exit Push Button and Auxiliary Alarm 1). These inputs can be configured as UL Grade “B” (unsupervised) or UL Grade “A”...

  • Page 26: Input Supervision (Overview)

    NOTE: ATM-30 end of line resistors (or an equivalent substitute) are designed to work with the AIM-4SL supervision values on STANDARD AIM-4SL interfaces. The AIM-4SL is available by special order with custom resistor values. In the case of improper function of the supervision, verify what type of AIM-4SL is installed in the system.

  • Page 27: Door Contact Input (Door Position Switch)

    System Wiring Figure 3.6 Input Supervision. The AIM-4SL reader inputs can be configured for Supervised or Unsupervised. End of line resistors must be used in the supervised configuration in order for the circuits to report the correct state. 3.6.2 Door Contact Input (Door Position Switch) This is a normally closed input and should have a jumper installed if not used! Terminal connectors: DC, DCR (See Table 2.1 )

  • Page 28: Auxiliary Alarm Inputs

    A typical electric door lock (strike) will require approximately 250 mA. (.250 amps) to control. The relay contacts on all Apollo relays are capable of switching up to 24 volts DC at up to 2 amps. If the particular locking device requires more that 2 amps to control, a separate, external relay capable of switching the required amount of current must be installed.

  • Page 29: Strike Suppression Installation

    Strike Wiring, Internal Relay The AIM-4SL Reader Interface includes internal relays for door strike control for each of the four reader inputs. This relay is capable of switching up to 24 volts at up to 2 amps. If the lock installed on the door requires more than 2 amps to control, an external relay must be provided.
  • Page 30 Figure 3.7.3.1 Strike Wiring Diagram- Fail Secure. A wiring example for Fail Secure wiring. Refer to Table 2.1 for exact locations of strike relay connections for the AIM-4SL. The diagram below illustrates connection of a DC powered, Fail-Safe, door strike. This type of strike requires power to hold the door closed.

    Strike Wiring, External ADA-10/11, High Security Relay Use of the internal relays provided on the AIM-4SL reader provides a possible security breach as described above. To prevent the possibility of illegally releasing the door by smashing open the reader and bypassing the internal relay, external, high security relays may be installed.

  • Page 32: Additional Output Relay Wiring

    Additional Output Relay Wiring Each reader input of the AIM-4SL has the capability of controlling 3 output relays in addition to the strike relay. There are a total of five output relays available. The internal strike relay, an external strike relay, and the three extra output relays.

    The above functions will work the same for each reader. Thus, if reader 2 is selected (S4=ON S3=OFF), and the function Strike Relay is selected (S2=OFF, S1=OFF), the ADA will function as the strike relay for Reader 2. © 2011 Apollo Security Inc.
  • Page 34 The above functions will work the same for each reader. Thus, if reader 2 is selected (1=CUT, 2=NOT, 3=CUT, 4=CUT), and the function Strike Relay is selected (G1=NOT, G2=NOT), the ADA will function as the strike relay for Reader 2. © 2011 Apollo Security Inc.

  • Page 35: General Alarm Inputs

    Cabinet Tamper Input: TB19 This input is for connection to a switch located on the cabinet in which the AIM-4SL is installed to detect unauthorized access to the panel. This is a normally-closed contact. In the event of a tamper condition, the exit push buttons will not function on all 4 reader connections.

    The reader function can be verified after communications are functioning properly. The host system must be configured for each of the readers on the AIM-4SL to be used, and with the correct card format. The card format is determined by the actual cards that will be used. After configuring the card format at the host, placing a card in front of the reader should generate an access message on the host computer.
