1 Safety
Read instructions
Read all technical documentation before installing or using the
device. Make sure that you have understood all information
described in the technical documentation. Do not ignore safety
messages, as this can cause property or personal damage.
Retain instructions for future reference.
!
Warning!
Risk of physical injury due to blocked escape routes
The access modular controller may block escape routes if not
installed correctly. To keep escape routes free:
- Use locks in fail-safe mode, so that doors will be released if
power fails.
- Install manual override switches, such as break-glass or lever
stations, to unlock doors in an emergency.
!
Warning!
Risk of explosion of lithium battery
The battery can explode if replaced incorrectly.
Replace battery with the same type as recommended by Bosch.
Dispose used batteries according to the instructions of the
manufacturer of the batteries.
!
Caution!
Fire hazard and risk of electric shock due to unauthorized
spare parts and accessories
Unauthorized spare parts and accessories might lack grounding
wires or other safety elements. External power supplies must
be installed and put into service by qualified personnel. The
service technician must use replacement parts or accessories
that are specified by the manufacturer.

2 Short information
This controller is able to control up to two Wiegand card
readers.
It is designed to fully process the access logic at assigned
access points. Access points consist of doors, gates, barriers,
turn stiles, revolving doors, mantraps, ID card readers, door
opening elements and sensors.
All the product versions use encrypted connections between the
access modular controller and the host system.
The controller stores all necessary information in a battery-
buffered memory and in a compact flash storage element. Even
when the unit is offline, it is able to perform:
– Independent status and authorization checks on access
points
– Take access decisions
– Activate and deactivate connected peripheral elements
– Detect and register all relevant events
The Access Modular Controller (AMC) is supported by the
Access Professional Edition (APE), BIS Access Engine (ACE) and
the Access Management System (AMS).

3 Introduction
3.1 Description
The controller is equipped with two independent interfaces for
Wiegand type readers. It is able to control one door with one
reader in each direction and up to two doors with a reader in
one direction only.
Figure3.1: Access Modular Controller
All necessary information for access verification is stored in a
battery buffered on-board memory and a Compact Flash (CF)
memory card. This guarantees autonomous access decisions and
complete access registrations even if the management host
system is offline. The built in compact flash card provides
adequate storage capability for cardholders and events.

The electronics of the controller are completely covered by a
plastic housing. The LCD (liquid crystal display) provides all
important status information.
Unsecured Area
The controller can communicate upstream to the host computer
using RS-485 multi-dropped. It has four analog input devices
and four relay outputs. With its analog input devices, the
controller verifies, for example, if a lock is closed or open. The
relay outputs can be used to activate lock mechanisms if access
is granted, or activate the burglar alarm system if an intrusion or
system alert is detected. If the four inputs and four outputs on
board are not enough to configure the system, up to three
additional extension boards can be connected. The extensions
offer 8 or 16 additional inputs and outputs.
The setup procedure for a controller is made very simple and
fast by the use of door templates. Once selected, all the inputs
and outputs are predefined. These settings can be changed to
choose every free contact of the controller or a connected
extension.

3.3 System overview
The controller is connected to the host system via RS485 or
Ethernet, depending on the type of installation. The host
interface is selected during installation. The two interfaces are
available on the device by default. With RS485 operation, a
maximum of eight access controllers can be connected to one
party line.

4 Installing
4.1 Mounting the device on a mounting rail
The controller can be attached on a standard 35mm (1.377in.)
mounting rail using a snap-in mechanism. Attach the controller
into the upper edge of the mounting rail, then push down the
device and snap it onto the rail by pushing it towards the back.

4.2 Unmounting the device from a mounting
rail
Notice!
To remove the controller from a mounting rail, first remove all
pluggable connectors.
Push down the controller until the lower edge snaps out of the
mounting rail [1]. Pull the lower end of the controller from the
mounting rail [2].

4.3 Opening the case
Notice!
To open the controller, first remove all pluggable connectors.
The controller’s case consists of a top cover mounted with a
two-point snap-in closure on a chassis. To open the case, push
down the two snap-ins with a screwdriver, then swing the cover
down.
Figure4.3: Opening the controller’s case

Access Modular
Controller 2 Installing | en 19
Bosch Security Systems B.V. 2019-11 | V02 |
4.4 Closing the case
Before aligning the covers, unplug any pluggable screw
connectors. Insert the hooks on the lower edge of the front
cover into the lugs on lower edge of the plastic back cover [1].
Please ensure that the BOSCH logo is not upside-down. The
upper edge of the front cover now aligns with the two-point
snap-in closures on the upper edge of the back cover [2], and
may thus be clicked gently into place.
Hence the closing process is the reverse of the opening process.

Figure4.4: Closing the case
Notice!
Risk of damage to equipment
If excessive force is required to close the front cover then it is
probably incorrectly hooked into the back cover. In such cases
the display dialog button in the front cover will be misaligned
and will not function correctly.

4.5 Cabling
Notice!
Risk of malfunction
The cables used in the controller are not prone to electrical
interference. However, you should avoid routing cables close to
heavy load switching cables and equipment. If this is
unavoidable, cross the cable at right angles every 1 to 2 m (3 to
6 ft) to reduce interference.
4.5.1 Conductor data for powering the controller
With the calculation below you can find out which cable type
must be used. If you connect the power supply and the
controller with the delivered cable set from the enclosure the
calculation is not necessary.
For distances below 25m (75ft) use AWG18 conductors
(1mm²). For longer distances, install an additional power supply
close to the controller.
Please, calculate the voltage drop by checking the conductor
specifications for characteristic resistance values. The voltage
drop shall not exceed 2V.
Example:
Length = 100 m/328 ft
Critical condition! Install the power supply closer to the
controller.
