ACM8
Multi-Output Access Power Controllers
Rev. DSACM8_11052012
ACM8 converts one (1) 12 to 24 volt AC or DC input into eight (8) indepen-
dently controlled fuse protected outputs. These power outputs can be converted
to dry form “C” contacts. Outputs are activated by an open collector sink or
normally open (NO) dry trigger input from an Access Control System, Card
Reader, Keypad, Push Button, PIR, etc. The ACM8 will route power to a vari-
ety of access control hardware devices including Mag Locks, Electric Strikes,
Magnetic Door Holders, etc. Outputs will operate in both Fail-Safe and/or Fail-
Secure modes.
This unit is designed to be powered by one common power source which will
provide power for both the board operation and locking devices, or two (2)
totally independent power sources, one (1) providing power for board opera-
tion and the other for lock / accessory power. The FACP Interface enables
Emergency Egress, Alarm Monitoring, or may be used to trigger other auxiliary
devices. The fire alarm disconnect feature is individually selectable for any or
all of the eight (8) outputs.

Input:
• 12 to 24 volt AC or DC operation
(setting not required), (0.6 amp @ 12volt,
0.3 amp @ 24 volt current consumption with all
relays energized).
• Power supply input options:
a) One (1) common power input
(board and lock power).
b) Two (2) isolated power inputs (one (1) for
board power and one (1) for lock/accessory power).
• Eight (8) Access Control System trigger inputs:
a) Eight (8) normally open (NO) inputs.
b) Eight (8) open collector sink inputs.
c) Any combination of the above.
Output:
• Eight (8) independently controlled outputs:
a) Eight (8) Fail-Safe and/or Fail-Secure
power outputs.
b) Eight (8) dry form “C” 5 amp rated relay outputs
c) Any combination of the above
• Eight (8) auxiliary power outputs (unswitched).
• Output ratings:
- Fuses are rated 3.5 amp each.
• Main fuse is rated at 10 amp.
Note: Total output current is determined by the power
supply, not to exceed a maximum of 10 amp total.
Features:
• Fire Alarm disconnect (latching or non-latching) is
individually selectable for any or all of the
eight (8) outputs.
Fire Alarm disconnect input options:
a) Normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC)
dry contact input.
b) Polarity reversal input from FACP
signaling circuit.
• FACP output relay (form “C” contact rated @ 1 amp
28VDC not evaluated by UL).
• Removable terminal blocks facilitate ease
of installation.
Visual Indicators:
