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. If this
precaution is not observed, personal injury or death could occur, and the equipment could be
damaged beyond repair.
-Verify that the external circuit breaker which supplies power to the device power supply is turned
off prior to installation.
-Verify that the output voltage of the power supply is within specifications prior to connection to the
device.
C A U T I O N
Several important procedures should be followed to prevent electro-static discharge (ESD) damage
to sensitive CMOS integrated circuits and modules.
-All transport of electronic components, including completed reader assemblies, should be in static
shield packaging and containers.
-Handle all ESD sensitive components at an approved static controlled work station. These work
stations consist of a desk mat, floor mat and a ESD wrist strap. Work stations are available from
various vendors including the 3M company.
FCC Compliance Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two

1Introduction
An access control system provides a means to replace traditional key and lock systems, which are easy to
defeat because of the ease of copying of keys and use by unauthorized personnel. With electronic access
control, the exact areas a person is able to access as well as during what time is configurable through a
central control system. In addition to the power of greater control, a historical record is maintained which is
useful in the case of a system security breach or for other purposes including calculating work time and
facility use costing.
1.1 Overview
The AAN-32 Access and Alarm Network Controller forms the basis of a modular system for the
complete control and monitoring of a distributed processing access control system, integrated alarm
monitoring and remote device control and reaction. Typical use of the system is the control of site access by
control of door locking devices associated with card readers and PIN keypads and maintaining logs of this
access for later reporting.
The framework of the device network is all accomplished through connection to a host programming
device (PC computer with a database interface application), and to field devices that provide the actual
functions of the system (door control, alarm inputs, relay outputs, etc). The connections between the
components of the system can be made via a combination of RS-232, RS-485 and Ethernet TCP-UDP/IP
connections, depending on the function and the site considerations.
By supporting both centralized and distributed database operation, once the AAN-32 controller has
been programmed from the host device the controller and the connected field devices work independently
and only require connection to the host for live event monitoring and reporting of events to the database. All
the necessary information to carry out access decisions and other response functions of the system is stored
within the AAN-32’s internal memory and does not rely on a constant connection to the host computer.
Downloadable field devices are available as well that do not require constant connection to the controller to
maintain functionality (e.g. Apollo AIM-4SL Downloadable Reader Interface). In this way, it is possible to
achieve three levels of database redundancy with Apollo Access Control Systems.

1.3 Programming Host
To establish operating configuration and to report events, the AAN-32 controller requires connection to a
software database interface program. Configuration options including cardholders are stored in a central
database and then transmitted via a proprietary encrypted protocol to the AAN-32. Once programmed, the
AAN-32 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.
Apollo has designed the APACS software system to provide the closest integration possible to take full
advantage of the features of the AAN-32 controller. Full documentation on configuring the options of the
AAN-32 with APACS is contained in the documentation provided with the software.
Figure 1.3 Programming Host Logical Diagram Typical System Layout with RS-485 Connections.
Several AAN-32 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.
