Setting Up the ACX 780/781 Controller and Infinet The ACX 780/781 is a building access controller that can control access to up to eight doors. For each door, you may control access with either Wiegand or ABA card readers, which read access cards, or security keypads, which accept access codes.

Hardware Installation Controller Dimensions and Weight Each ACX 780/781 is 26 × 19 × 6 in. (660 × 483 × 152 mm) and weighs 40 lbs (18.2 kg). Power Requirements Caution The ACX 780/781 should receive power from its own independent, unswitched circuit.
Andover Controls # 01-2100-299. Building Ground Requirements Warning Be sure that all Infinity products from Andover Controls Corporation are grounded to true earth ground. This kind of ground protects the equipment from transients and other power surges in the area.
• Is connected using a small gauge wire thinner than 14 AWG (16 or 18AWG, for example, or less than 2.5 mm 2 ). 2. Be sure your Andover Controls cabinet is connected to the ground with a copper conductor that terminates at the distribution panel.

You can extend the length of this cable up to 500 ft. Output Requirements Each ACX 780/781 has the following outputs: • Eight door outputs that control a door through card reader or keypad access. Each output is a Form C door latch relay rated at 120 VAC/ 30 VDC, 5 A maximum.
Hardware Installation Input Requirements Caution Andover Controls inputs are designed to be used with the specified card readers, two-wire door switches, two-wire motion sensors, and other two-wire input devices; they do not provide sufficient power to operate sensors requiring an external power supply of 12 or 24 VAC/DC.
• Location of the controller. • Serial number. • Model name and number. • Communications port the Infinet connects to on the ACX 780/781 controller. Then collect the tags. You will need to know where your controllers are located when you later assign a name to each controller and each input and output.
Caution You must keep the ACX 780/781 in the UL listed enclosure provided. 1. Before you begin, open the front door of the ACX 780 cabinet. Figure 1 shows the dimensions (in inches) of the UL listed cabinet that Andover Controls provides and the location of the mounting screw holes.
Page 18
Hardware Installation Caution Never drill holes in the ACX 780/781 cover or boards. A metal shaving could easily short circuit the electronics. 2. Position two standard No. 8 screws for the precut eyelets in the cabinet or backplate, and hang the cabinet or backplate on the screws.

We recommend you run input wiring in a conduit separate from AC power or output wiring and avoid long wiring runs. The “supervisory” inputs are on the left side of the ACX 780/781. Input wires should enter from the left side. Notice that the inputs are labeled RET, IN1, IN2, RET, IN3, IN4, RET, IN5, IN6, and so on, for up to 32 inputs.

The RESET button is the small button just to the left of the logo on the board (near the top). You press it to restart the controller without eras- ing memory. The same events occur as described above. ACX 780/781 Installation Guide Technical Manuals Online! - http://www.tech-man.com firealarmresources.com...
1. Connect the wire to the battery terminal. It is a solderless connection. 2. Be sure to connect the red wire to the positive terminal, the black to the negative. Andover Controls Corporation Technical Manuals Online! - http://www.tech-man.com firealarmresources.com...
The SERVICE PORT is on the far left side of the controller just below the Infinet connection. This port is to connect the Andover Controls Service Tool to an ACX 780/781. The service tool accesses all ACX 780/ 781s and other Infinet controllers on the same network. For information on availability of the Andover Controls Service Tool, contact your An- dover Controls representative.
