AC-225 Panel Set-Up AC-225 Panel Set-Up Every AC-225 panel controls one or two doors (up to 4 doors with MD- D02). The panels connect together in a network and are controlled by a central server computer, running the AS-525 AxTrax software system. The following diagram shows an example set-up for a network of AC-225 access control panels.

Input and Output Connections Input and Output Connections This chapter describes the AC-225 access control panel's input and output connections. 4.1 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.
Page 19
Input and Output Connections Normally Open Input Connection: Normally Open Input has 2 states: • Switch Open - Normal State: Loop resistance = Infinite (open circuit). • Switch Closed – Abnormal State: Loop resistance = 0 (short circuit). Figure 9: Normally Open Input Connection Normally Closed Input Connection: Normally Closed Input has two states: •...

Input and Output Connections Normally Open Supervised Single Resistor Input Connection Connect an 8.2K resistor in parallel to the input switch contacts. Normally Open Supervised Input has 3 states: • Switch Open - Normal State: Loop resistance = 8.2K. • Switch Closed – Abnormal State: Loop resistance = 0 (short circuit).

RS-485, up to 32 panels can be connected on each TCP/IP network, This means that one AC-225IP panel can support up to 31 AC-225 panels. To connect to a TCP/IP network using other AC-225 models, add Rosslare's MD-N32 TCP/IP to RS-232 gateway converter. Note: For more information on operating an MD-N32, refer to the MD-N32 User Manual.
