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-4 Access and Alarm Network Controller is a self-contained controller for four card readers and
door hardware as well as additional alarm inputs and outputs. Typical use of the 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 AAN-4 works through connection to a host programming device (PC computer with a database interface
application), which defines configuration for the four built-in reader interfaces. The connections between the
AAN-4 and host can be made via Ethernet TCP/IP (AAN-4N) or RS-232 or RS-485 serial connection
(AAN-4S).
By supporting both centralized and distributed database operation, once the AAN-4 controller has been
programmed from the host device, it will 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-4's internal memory and does
not rely on a constant connection to the host computer.
The AAN-4 provides interface connections for a variety of card reader technologies, including proximity,
biometric, bar code, and infrared readers. Any card reader with standard Wiegand or mag stripe output can
be connected to the AAN-4. Provided for each of the four readers are exit push button, door contact and
other general purpose inputs as well as are on-board strike relays and additional general purpose relay
outputs. The AAN-4 communicates with host software to obtain configuration and report system events. A
downloadable card database of up to 20,000 cardholders and storage of up to 7000 events allows the AAN-4
to work independently after initial programming.
1.2 General Features
·Supports 4 readers, keypads or reader/keypad combinations for 4 door control
·Full Stand Alone Operation with Local database of 20,000 cards or 7,000 events
·Multiple Card Formats
·Up to 8 Facility Codes
·8 Relay Outputs (4 Door strike, 4 Auxiliary)
·Control of up to 16 ADA-10/11 High Security Relay Output Modules
·Interchangeable TCP/IP, RS-485 or RS-232 interfaces
·12 Inputs (4 Door Contact, 4 Exit Pushbutton, 4 Auxiliary)
·Field-Replaceable plug-in communication drivers
·Real Time Clock
·Firmware stored in flash memory for easy upgrade
·Surface-mount manufacturing technology
1.3 Modes Of Operation
To establish operating configuration, the AAN-4 interface requires connection to a host programming device
which contains 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-4
controller. The AAN-4 controller will communicate with the host to download the following configuration
information:

3AAN-4 Hardware Manual
© 2011 Apollo Security Inc.
·Card Reader Data Output Format: Wiegand or Mag Stripe
·Strike Time—The time duration that the strike relay will be energized for in the case of an access grant
·Held Open Time—After an access grant and a subsequent opening of the door contact, the time in which
the door contact must be closed before an alarm state is reported
·Initial Reader Mode—The access mode in which the reader will function upon powering up or when
communication has been interrupted between the AAN-4 and host. The following modes are supported:
oCard Only—An access request is made by presenting a card to the reader. The data is verified against
the AAN-4 database to ensure that the card has a valid Facility Code and Card Number.
oCard or PIN—Access requests are made either by presenting a card or by keying in a PIN (Personal
Identification Number) on a keypad. A card entry is process as in Card Only access mode.
oCard & PIN—A card must be read to start the access request. If the card is valid, the user is prompted
to enter the corresponding PIN. The request is granted only if the card and PIN match.
oLocked—No access granted. Reader ignores all cards and PIN entries.
oUnlocked—Door strike is continuously energized and the door contact input is not monitored. Access is
not controlled.
oFacility Code—The entire card contents are read by the AAN-4, but only the Facility Code is checked,
and if it matches a Facility Code downloaded from the programming host, access is granted.
1.4 Programming Host
To establish operating configuration and to report events, the AAN-4 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-4. Once programmed, the
AAN-4 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-4 controller. Full documentation on configuring the options of the
AAN-4 with APACS is contained in the documentation provided with the software.

The AAN-4 has 9 terminal blocks for connecting power, reader and alarm inputs, and relay output
connections. The connection terminals are factory equipped with removable screw-down quick connectors
which are easily removed from the board by firmly grasping the connector and pulling away from the board. If
pliers are used to remove the connectors, they should be of the rubber-tipped type. Take care in using any
tools near the board not to damage on-board components. The proper location of the quick connectors is
outlined in white on the board.

2.2.2 DIP Switch Function
Communications Address—This option sets the address that identifies the device on the
communications line. This setting must be specified in the host software in able to identify the device. A
maximum of 16 AAN-4 devices can be installed on one communication line (RS-485), with each having a
unique address (between 0-31). The communications address must also be specified in the host software
when the AAN-4 is connected though a network. NOTE: AAN-4 controllers can NOT be used on the
same serial communications line as an AAN-100 or AAN-32 controller.
Baud Rate—Specifies the baud rate for the serial line of interface. This setting must be the same for all
devices on the communication line connected to this port.
Input Monitor Mode—Specifies whether all inputs on the interface (Auxiliary inputs, door contacts, exit
push buttons) will be monitored by comparing the resistance value of the input line with the expected value.
ON—In the event of tampering with the input, the interface will report the specific type of error.
OFF—Inputs will operate in standard mode.
Table 2.2.1 : DIP Switch Function
2.3 Connectors
The AAN-4 has several connectors for interfacing with removable components. Take care when installing
and removing components in order not to damage pins or sockets. Do not use force greater than gentle
pressure when installing any components. Refer to the figure for the exact location of these connectors. The
connectors are also labeled on the AAN-4 in white lettering on the circuit board.

12Hardware Layout
© 2011 Apollo Security Inc.
2.3.1 Device Port Communication Driver Socket
Port Communication Driver Socket: J12
For communication on the AAN-4, a communication module must be connected to the 12-pin socket. The
required module depends on the type of host connection:
Network Communication (AAN-4N) - In order to use network (TCP/IP) connection to the software
host, the AAN-4 should be equipped with an ENI-100 Network Interface device. This allows
connection to the network via the ENI's RJ-45 jack and a standard UTP Ethernet cable (the RS-485
Host Communication Connection terminals are not used in this mode). In this case, the software
host will need two pieces of information to communicate with the hardware: the IP address of the
ENI-100 Network Interface (Set by the ENI-100's internal webpage configuration) and the
Communication Address (set by DIP switches). The software will first search for the IP address and
then will use the Communication Address to find the specified device at that address. In this case
there is only one device connected, but it is nonetheless important that the Communication Address
is the same in the software as is set on the DIP switches.
Serial Communication (AAN-4S) - To use the AAN-4 in serial communication mode, a serial driver
must be connected to the driver socket. The communication driver module can be either ASM-48
(RS-485, part number 430-131) or ASM-23 (RS-232, part number 430-132) depending on the type of
communication required on the port. The device is connected to the serial communications line
using the Host Communication Connection (see Table 2.1). If RS-232 is used, one device may be
connected to the line. If RS-485 is used, a maximum of 16 AAN-4s can be connected on one
communications line (each having a unique address from 0 to 31). NOTE: AAN-4 controllers can
NOT be used on the same serial communications line as an AAN-100 or AAN-32 controller.
Module Installation - The desired module should be installed so the long end extends towards the middle of
the board and the mounting holes provided on the AAN-4 and ASM or ENI align so a plastic stand-off and
screws can be attached to connect the holes. METAL SCREWS AND STANDOFFS SHOULD NOT BE
USED TO MOUNT THE ASM/ENI.
2.3.2 Additional Connectors
Additional Connectors/Jumpers: J13, J14
These connectors and jumpers are used for factory configuration and should not be modified or connected in
any way unless directed by your technical support.
2.4 LEDs
The AAN-4 has 2 LEDs for use in monitoring functioning of panel and for diagnosis of problems. The LEDs
function in two modes: startup and normal operation
2.4.1 Start Up Mode
Immediately after powering on the panel, the start-up test will initiate and the results will be displayed on the
LEDs. If there are no failures, the test will progress. If the panel encounters an error, it will stop with the failed
test and display the LED sequence corresponding to that test. The test sequence and the LED codes are:

Table 2. 4: AAN-4 Start up LED Function

13 AAN-4 Hardware Manual
© 2011 Apollo Security Inc.
2.4.2 Normal Operation
After initialization and self tests, the LEDs will switch to normal operation and will display information about
the panel operation.
Heartbeat (D14)—Shows a constant ‘heartbeat’(0.2 sec ON, 0.8 sec OFF) to indicate proper operation of
the panel and firmware.
Port Status (D15)—Shows activity on the serial port. Normal activity on the ports will be observed as the
LED blinks many times a second or lighted solid, depending on the amount of activity.
2.5 Firmware
The operating program for the AAN-4 is stored in re-programmable flash memory. In the event that the
firmware must be re-installed or updated, no chips need to be replaced on the panel. The new program can
be loaded from the host via special software. For normal operation it is not necessary to update the firmware.
If this becomes necessary, contact your Apollo support representative. Firmware updating should only be
done under the recommendation and guidance of your Apollo technical support representative.
2.6 Memory Backup
The AAN-4 is equipped with on-board memory to store configuration information and event data. This
memory, as well as the real-time clock, is provided with back-up power (for up to 5 days) in the event of
primary power failure. Power is supplied by a special capacitor-based circuit. Battery replacement is never
required.

2.7 Additional Installation Information
2.7.1 Mounting Holes
Four holes are provided for mounting the AAN-4. Standoffs should be used when mounting in order to
protect the underside of the circuit board.
