IMPORTANT INFORMATION W A R N I N G HIGH VOLTAGE, AC MAIN POWER SHOULD ONLY BE CONNECTED BY QUALIFIED, LICENSED ELECTRICIANS. ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND CODES MUST BE FOLLOWED. IF THIS PRECAUTION IS NOT OBSERVED, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH COULD OCCUR Power should not be applied to the system until after the installation has been completed.
Any card reader with standard Wiegand or mag stripe output can be connected to the AAN-4. 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 relays and additional general purpose relay outputs.
AAN-4. Once programmed, the AAN-4 will continue to function without connection to the host. A record of all actions that happen while there is no connection is stored in the memory of the AAN (limited by the capacity of the memory) for reporting at a later time when connection with the host has been re-established.

Figure 1.3 Programming Host Logical Diagram. Typical System Layout with RS-485 Connections. Several AAN-4 panels can be connected to one host on an RS-485 line using different device addresses. Field devices on the same line must also have unique addresses.
ENI-100 Network Interface module. Terminal Connectors The AAN-4 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.
Hardware Layout DIP Switches The AAN-4 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.
This setting must be specified in the host software in able to identify the device. A maximum of 16 AAN-4 devices can be installed on one communication line (RS-485), with each having a unique address (between 0-31). The communications address must also be specified in the host software when the AAN-4 is connected though a network.
Module Installation - The desired module should be installed so the long end extends towards the middle of the board and the mounting holes provided on the AAN-4 and ASM or ENI align so a plastic stand-off and screws can be attached to connect the holes. METAL SCREWS AND STANDOFFS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO MOUNT THE ASM/ENI.
LED blinks many times a second or lighted solid, depending on the amount of activity. Firmware The operating program for the AAN-4 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 Connection: TB7 Power is supplied to the AAN-4 by the voltage connection in terminal block 7 (see Part 2.1 for exact locations of terminals). The power connection should be 12-24 VDC. Power consumption is 250 mA. The AAN-4 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. Host Communication Connection The connection from the AAN-4 to the programming host (PC) is used for programming the panel and then monitoring the status of the system. Once a connection is established, the host software communicates with the panel and transmits the necessary configuration information.
Typically, the communication will be from a standard 16550 UART COM-port on a PC which will be connected directly to the AAN-4 in the case of RS-232 or through the use of an adapter or add-on PC card to achieve the RS-485 signal. The communications wiring must cross-over from the PC to the panel as shown in Figure 3.3.1.
3.3.2 Network For connection from the host to the AAN-4, an ENI-100 Network Interface Module is used. The ENI-100 acts as a standard Ethernet network device and occupies one IP address (see Part 4 for programming instructions). The connection from the ENI to the network is made by a standard RJ-45 jack. A standard UTP network cable should be connected from the ENI-100 to the local network via a network switch, hub or other network connection device.
The ENI-100 Network Interface Module provides connectivity between the AAN-4 and programming host via TCP/IP interface at 100Mbps. The ENI-100 converts the output signal from the AAN-4 to TCP/IP packets and converts incoming packets, received from the host, into the proper signal.

ENI-100 Parameters: AAN-4 Standard Settings - The italicized settings below will need to be set for standard configuration for use with the AAN-4. Other settings may be necessary or desired, according to your configuration: IP Address: IP address of the ENI-100.
24 AWG shielded cable with 4 twisted pairs (Belden 9504 or equivalent). Do not exceed 500 feet (152 m) between the AAN-4 and reader. Connect the shield drain wire of the cable at the GND terminal of the appropriate reader connector on the AAN-4. Carefully insulate the drain wire with sleeving for a reliable installation.

AAN-4 power input. There must be sufficient power to supply the load of all readers as well as for the AAN-4 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.
Reader Input Wiring The each of the four reader inputs on the AAN-4 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”...
AAN-4 Hardware Manual Figure 3.6 Input Supervision. The AAN-4 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. 3.5.2...
Terminal Connectors: AUX, AUXR (See Table 2.1 ) Each reader input on the AAN-4 includes one Auxiliary Alarm circuit. These inputs may be used for many purposes that can be configured in the host software. The capabilities will depend on the particular software system in use.
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.
Strike Wiring, Internal Relay The AAN-4 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.
Strike Wiring, External ADA-10/11, High Security Relay Use of the internal relays provided on the AAN-4 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.
Additional Output Relay Wiring Each reader input of the AAN-4 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.
Cabinet Tamper Input: TB19 This input is for connection to a switch located on the cabinet in which the AAN-4 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.

Apollo's website can be found at http://www.apollo-security.com For further questions regarding obtaining these utilities, contact your Apollo support representative. ENI-100 IP Programming The ENI-100 occupies one IP address in order to connect to the network and to the programming host.
InitAAN NOTE: In order to use the InitAAN utility for programming the ENI, ensure that you have the latest version which is available on Apollo's website at http://www.apollo-security.com. Older versions of InitAAN may not support programming the device. 1. Run the INITAAN.EXE program. A dialog box will display instructions for programming various devices.
The reader function can be verified after communications are functioning properly. The host system must be configured for each of the readers on the AAN-4 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.
