Controller Dimensions and Weight
Each ACX 700 is 19 ×15 ×4.56 in. (483 ×381 ×116) and weighs 17
lbs. (7.73 kg).
Power Requirements
Caution
The ACX 700 should receive power from its own independent,
unswitched circuit.
You can choose to connect ACpower or a12 VDC uninterruptedpower
supply (UPS), butnotboth. Instructions for how to connect the 12 VDC
UPS are included later, with the installation instructions.
To maintain the UL listing of your system, you should use a power sup-
ply listed by UL under APHV.
If you choose AC power, you can select an AC power supply voltage of
24 V, 115 V, or 230 V. You receive it set to 115 V. Instructions for se-
lecting the power supply you want are included later, with the
installation instructions.
AC voltages you can select are as follows (each uses a 3 A slow blow
fuse):
• 24 VAC 50/60 Hz
• 115 VAC 50/60 Hz
• 230 VAC 50/60 Hz
The ACX 700 consumes 20 VA of power at 115/230 VAC and con-
sumes 50 VA of power at 12 VDC/24 VAC.

Cable Limitations
The maximum cable length for all buses is 4,000 ft. (1,200 m) at 19,200
baud (up to 32 Infinet controllers). You can extend buses beyond
4,000 ft. or put more than 32 Infinet controllers on less than 4,000 ft. by
using the InfiLink 200 amplification module.
Note
You must use shielded cables for Infinet to ensure compliance with the
Class A FCC limits and to provide reliable communications.
Cables that form Infinet are 24-gauge (0.25 mm), single-twisted-pair,
tinned, shielded copper wire. Use the following cables1or their
equivalents:
• Brand Rex # H 9002 (single-pair)
• Anixter # 9J2401021 (single-pair plenum cable)
The cable should have a nominal impedance of 100 Ohms and a nomi-
nal velocity of propagation of 78%.
Capacitance of Infinet cable should be nominal, below 12.5 pF/ft
(41 pF/m) between conductors and below 22 pF/ft (72 pF/m) between
the conductor connected to ground and the next conductor.
Lightning Protection
Lightning Arrestors are required at each point where an Infinet or other
wiring (such as for a card reader) enters or exits a building. Use the
following arrestor: Two pair combination gas tube/silicon avalanche ar-
restor, Andover Controls # 01-2100-299.
1. You can also use any cables you may already have in place for ACNET or LBUS.

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.
We cannot guarantee that the controller system will operate as
documented unless you properly ground all controllers.
Warning
Grounding should be in accordance with article 240 of the National
Electrical Code. Be sure to have your grounds inspected before you
begin the installation process to be sure your municipality follows the
National Electrical Code. Many municipalities do not and often have
substandard electrical grounds.
An example of a substandard ground is a galvanized steel cold water
pipe. As the pipe corrodes, it does not act as a true ground. The corro-
sion acts as an insulator, raising the potential of the pipe with respect to
the ground.
When lightning strikes in the area of the installation, it drastically
changes the potential of the earth. Since properly grounded Andover
Controls units respond to changes in potential more rapidly than poorly
grounded electrical systems, a poorly grounded building tries to reach
ground through the Andover Controls system. The surge of current can
destroy electronic components on the controller board.
Surges of much lower potential than lightning also impact the reliability
of Andover Controls equipment.

6 ACX 700 Installation Guide
Inspecting the Ground
You can check your ground as follows:
1. Check your ground byfirst inspecting the building power distribution
panel for earth ground termination. If the ground terminationis any of
the following, it is not adequate and must be corrected:
• Does not exist.
• Is connected to a corroded or galvanized pipe.
• Is connected using a small gauge wire thinner than 14 AWG (16
or 18 AWG, for example, or less than 2.5 mm2).
2. Be sure your Andover Controls cabinet is connected to the ground
with a copper conductor that terminates at the distribution panel.
Environmental Requirements
The ACX 700 operates in rooms with temperatures ranging from 32 to
120°F (0° to 49°C) and with humidity between 10 and 95%, non-
condensing.
Enclosure Requirements
If you did not purchase the Andover Controls cabinet, you purchased
the open class controller. The open class controller must be in an Un-
derwriters Laboratories listed enclosure that is a minimum of 12.75 ×
30 ×2.75 in. (324 ×762 ×70 mm).
Special Wire for Card Reader Inputs
We recommend a five-conductor, 22-gauge (0.35 mm2) shielded wire for
wiring card reader inputs.
Table 1 shows the various card brands and the maximum length for #18
gauge wire (1.0 mm2), then for #22 gauge (0.35 mm2) wire.

Table 1. Maximum Length Wire for Card Readers
Special Wiring for Keypad Inputs
We recommend eight-conductor, 18-gauge shielded wire for wiring key-
pad inputs except for the Essex unit, which requires two extra wires
bringing its total to ten conductors.
8-conductor, shielded
10-conductor, shielded for Essex Touch Pads
You can extend the length of this cable up to 500 ft.
Output Requirements
Two of the outputs are door outputs that control a door through a card
reader or keypad access. Each outputis aForm C relay rated at 24 VAC,
5 A. You wire these outputs just as you would a digital/pulsed output.
Resolution of the output is 0.1 sec. You may choose to manually override
the output by setting the OVERRIDE switch to ON or OFF. Or you can
set it to AUTO to have the card reader control access through the door.
The OVERRIDE LED indicates at least one of the door outputs is on
manual control; the DOOR OPEN LED indicates the door is open.
The third output is an auxiliary output, also a Form C relay rated at
24 VAC, 5 A. You may want to use this output for a bell or other audio
alarm indicator.

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.
Each ACX 700 controller has the following inputs:
• Two card reader inputs that receive either the Wiegand format or the
standard ABA format. You set the switch next to each reader to
indicate Wiegand or ABA.
You may also have additional card readers by attaching one or two
EMX 190 modules to the ACX 700. The card reader may have an
LED, but does not have to. (UL listed systems must use model
30387 Sensor Engineering card readers.)
Maximum data rate for the card reader—1 ms between bits with a 50
µs bit width.
Maximum power available to each card reader is 35 mA at 5 VDC.
If the card reader requires 12 or 24 VCD, it requires an
external power supply.
• Eight supervisory inputs (1 through 8) that you can use for any of the
following types of inputs:
— Door switch that indicates the status of the door—open or closed.
Must have a 10 KΩresistor in series if normally closed or in
parallel if normally open. The resistor allows the input to detect
tampering. Refer to the Infinity CX Programmer’s Guide for
details. Required.
— An exit request input, usually a motion sensor that determines
someone is approaching the door or a push button that you must
press to leave the area. Must have a 10 KΩresistor in series if

normallyclosedorinparallelifnormally open.The resistorallows
the input to detect tampering. Refer to the Infinity CX Program-
mer’s Guide for details. Optional.
— Two keypads, each a single input (inputs 9 and 10), that you place
near the door as an alternative to a card reader. The person punches
in an access code that the controller recognizes before allowing the
person access. You may have up to two keypads and/or two card
readers. Each keypad has eight connections.
• One built-in tamper switch that indicates when the cabinet door has
been forced open. The switch is actually a button that reacts when
someone opens the cabinet door. You may also wire another switch
to theinput if youinstall the unit in another cabinet. When the switch
is open, the cabinet tamper is ON.
Laying Out the Site Setup
You may want to draw a map of where you plan to put each controller
and store it in a notebook.
Find the tag attached to each controller that gives the number of the con-
troller. Before you remove any tags, be sure the tag has all of the
following information on it:
• Location of the controller.
• Serial number.
• Model name and number.
• Communications port the Infinet connects to on the ACX 700
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.
