(#) UL Certified. When used in combination with Rosslare's AxTraxNG™ software system, the AC- 225x-B gives you full control over access to your premises. The system can control both single and double door entrances and up to four doors, with MD-D02B 2-door expansion module.
Introduction battery of up 12 V and 7 Ah, and an intelligent light bar that provides enclosure lighting, an enclosure tamper sensor, and a power status LED indicator. Figure 1 shows the general layout of the AC-225x-B panel. Figure 1: AC-225x-B Panel Layout AxTraxNG The AxTraxNG software system is designed to set up, manage, and supervise all aspects of an access control panel network.
Introduction 1.1.1 Client-Server Structure AxTraxNG operates through a dedicated AxTrax server computer, which communicates with the access control panels and can serve an unlimited number of network clients. The server also runs the system's SQL database, which contains settings and definitions for access control across the entire facility.

AC-225x-B Panel Setup AC-225x-B Panel Setup Each AC-225x-B panel controls one or two doors (up to 4 doors with MD-D02B). The panels connect together in a network and are controlled by a central server computer, running the AxTraxNG software system. Figure 2 shows an example setup for a network of AC-225x-B access control panels.
AC-225x-B Panel Setup Inputs Wiring – Non-Supervised Inputs Figure 3 presents a detailed view of the non-supervised inputs and their connection options. Figure 3: Inputs Wiring – Non-supervised Inputs Inputs Wiring – Supervised Inputs When wiring the AC-225x for supervised inputs, resistors should be placed on the input switch and not on the terminal block.
AC-225x-B Panel Setup Outputs Wiring Figure 4 and Figure 5 illustrate wiring for two main types of 12 VDC electrical release mechanisms. Other electrical devices can be switched using the voltage free relay contacts. Figure 4: Door Lock – Failed Close AC-225x-B Series Hardware Installation and User Manual...
AC-225x-B Panel Setup Power Supply Figure 6 illustrates wiring between the PM-10 power management board and the AC-225x-B. Make sure the connection polarity is correct, (+) to (+) and (-) to (-). Connect the power to the input power terminals of the control panel. It is recommended to add a 12 VDC lead acid backup battery (requires the ME-1015 Power Management Enclosure) to have uninterrupted operation in case main power supply fails.
AC-225x-B Panel Setup AC-225x-B Wiring Communications Figure 7 presents a detailed view of the access control panel with all it wiring communications. Figure 7: AC-225x-B Wiring Communications AC-225x-B Series Hardware Installation and User Manual...
AC-225x-B Panel Setup Reader Readers are supplied with a limited cable length. When extending the wire, make sure to match the conductors to the correct terminals on the AC-225x-B panel (Figure 8). Refer to the reader specifications for the maximum cable length (typically 150 m with an 18 AWG cable).
Input and Output Connections Input and Output Connections This chapter describes the AC-225x-B access control panel's input and output connections. Input Types There are four input types – Normally Open, Normally Closed, Normally Open Supervised 1 or 2 resistors, and Normally Closed Supervised 1 or 2 resistors. Inputs IN1, IN1A, IN2 and IN2A may be configured individually as either supervised or non-supervised inputs.
Input and Output Connections ▪ Open circuit (infinite loop resistance) or short circuit (0 resistance) across input terminals – Trouble State. Figure 13: Normally Open Supervised Input Connection (Double Resistor) 4.1.5 Normally Closed Supervised Single Resistor Input Connection Connect a 2.2 kΩ resistor in series to the input switch contacts. Normally Closed Supervised Input has 3 states: ▪...
Input and Output Connections 4.1.6 Normally Closed Supervised Double Resistor Input Connection Connect a 2.2 kΩ resistor in series to the input switch contacts. Connect an 8.2 kΩ resistor parallel to the input switch contacts. Normally Closed Supervised Input has 3 states: ▪...

AC-225x-B Hardware Settings AC-225x-B Hardware Settings DIP Switch Configuration The DIP switches in the access control panel determine the baud rates for serial communication, control panel type, and the device address, as summarized in Table 3.

AC-225x-B Hardware Settings Access Control Panel Baud Rate The access control panel serial port baud rate, set in DIP switches one and two, defines the communication speed for connecting with a PC in a network connection. The default baud rate is set to 9600 bits per second. Table 4 lists Switch 1 and 2 status and baud rate: Table 4: Switch Baud Rates Switch 1...

Communications Communications Communication lines are used to upload and download information between the access control panel and the AxTraxNG software. When the access control panel and the computer are communicating, the system’s two LEDs flash accordingly. ▪ The RX LED flashes when the controller receives data ▪...
Communications The distance between the computer and the access control panel must be no more than 150 feet (50 meters). If the baud rate is increased to 57600 or beyond, the distance must be no more than 30 feet (10 meters). Table 7: RS-232 Connection Access Control Panel DB9 Connector...
Communications The recommended cable type to be used is STP cat5 (shielded twisted pair category 5). We recommend using a 20-24-AWG cable. 6.1.3 Daisy Chaining You can connect up to 32 panels to a single serial line using a daisy-chain formation, which is done by drop-down RS-485 wiring (Figure 19).
IP port can support up to 32 AC-225x-B panels (Figure 20). Figure 20: Connecting Multiple Access Control Panels to AC-225IP To connect to a TCP/IP network using AC-225 non-IP models, add Rosslare's MD- N32 TCP/IP to RS-232 gateway converter.
When using an MD-N32, for a single panel, either an RS-232 cable or Rosslare's MD-14U RS-485 to RS-232 converter can be used. To connect an MD-N32 to more than one panel (up to 32 panels), Rosslare's MD- 14U RS-485 to RS-232 converter must be used. Connect the MD-14U between the RS-485 access control panel network and the MD-N32 converter (Figure 22).
