2. Safety Instructions
2.1. Important Safety Notes
1. Read, Follow, and Retain Instructions −All safety and operating
instructions must be read and followed properly before putting the unit into
operation. Retain instructions for future reference.
2. Consider all Warnings −Adhere to all warnings on the unit and in the
operating instructions.
3. Accessories −Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer or
those sold with the product. Accessories not recommended by the
manufacturer shall not be used, as they may cause hazards.
4. Installation Precautions −Do not place this unit on an unstable stand,
tripod, bracket, or mount. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to
persons and damage to the unit. Mount the unit according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Cleaning −Disconnect the unit from power before cleaning. Follow any
instructions provided with the unit. Generally, using a damp cloth for
cleaning is sufficient. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
6. Service −Do not attempt to service this unit by yourself. Opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
7. Damage Requiring Service −Disconnect the unit from the main AC or
DC power source and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:
•When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
•If liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen into the unit.
•If the unit has been exposed to water and/or inclement weather (rain,
snow, etc.).
•If the unit does not operate normally, when following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls specified in the operating
instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage, and require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the unit to normal operation.
•If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
•If the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates that
service is needed.

8. Replacement Parts −When replacement parts are required, the service
technician shall use replacement parts that are specified by the
manufacturer. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electrical
shock or other hazards.
9. Safety Check −Upon completion of service or repair work on the unit, ask
the service technician to perform safety checks to ensure that the unit
operates properly
10. Power Sources −Operate the unit only from the type of power source
indicated on the label. If unsure of the type of power supply to use, contact
your dealer
•For units intended to operate from battery power, refer to the operating
instructions.
•For units intended to operate with External Power Supplies, use only
the recommended approved power supplies.
•For units intended to operate with a limited power source, this power
source must comply with EN/UL 60950. Substitutions may damage
the unit or cause fire or shock.
•For units intended to operate at 12 VDC normal input voltage is 12
VDC. Voltages applied to the unit’s power input shall not exceed 15
VDC. User-supplied wiring, from the 12 VDC power supply to the
unit, must be in compliance with electrical codes (Class 2 power
levels). Do not ground the 12 VDC supply at the terminals or at the
unit’s power supply terminals.
11. Grounding −If an outside cable system is connected to the unit, ensure
that the cable system is grounded. U.S.A. models only Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA No.70, provides information
regarding proper grounding of the mount and supporting structure,
grounding of the coax to a discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
12. Grounding and Protection against reverse Polarity −This unit may be
equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug with one
blade wider than the other). This safety feature allows the plug to fit into
the power outlet in only one way. If unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact an
electrician to arrange replacement of the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug. Alternately, this unit may be equipped
with a 3−wire grounding plug (a plug with a third pin, for grounding). This
safety feature allows the plug to fit into a grounding power outlet only. If
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to arrange

Safety Instructions Access Controller AMC-4W
8 Installation Guide Bosch Security Systems | V.3.1/2006-09
replacement of the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding plug.
13. Lightning −For added protection during a lightning storm, or when this
unit is left unused for long periods of time, disconnect the unit from power.
This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and excessive power
line surges.
14. Restricted Access Locations are required for the installation.
2.2. FCC & ICES Information
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy. If not installed and
used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, it may cause
interference to radio and television reception. It has been tested and found to
comply with the specifications Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules for Field
Disturbance Sensors. If this equipment causes interference to radio or television
reception - which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off - the
installer is encouraged to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
1. Reorient the antenna of the radio/television,
2. Connect the AC power cord to a different outlet so the control panel and
radio/television are on different branch circuits,
3. Relocate the control panel with respect to the radio/television.
If necessary, consult an experienced radio/television technician for additional
suggestions, or send for the "Interference Handbook" prepared by the Federal
Communications Commission. This booklet is available from the:
U.S. Government Printing Office,
Washington D.C. 20402,
Stock no. 004-000-00450-7.
FCC Registration Number: IDHM32Y6K2000
Intentional or unintentional changes or modifications that are not explicitly
approved by the party responsible for compliance, shall not be made. Any such
changes or modifications could nullify the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
The user may find the following booklet, prepared by the Federal
Communications Commission, helpful: How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV
Interference Problems. This booklet is available from the U.S. Government
Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000-00345-4.

Access Controller AMC-4W Safety Instructions
2.3. Safety Precautions
Read instructions!
Before working with the AMC-4W, read these instructions carefully.
Make sure you have understood all information described in this
document.
Warning! Risk of electric shock!
External power supplies must be installed and put into service by
qualified personnel. Compliance with the relevant regulations must be
ensured.
Warning! Risk of damaging equipment!
-Always switch off power of the AMC-4W before modifying
the installation.
-Do not connect or disconnect plug connectors, data cables or
screw connectors while power is on!
Health and Safety
Installation of the AMC-4W must comply with any local fire, health
and safety regulations. A secured door that may be part of an escape
route from an area must be installed with:
•A fail-safe lock (A). So that the door will be released if
power fails. Ideally, a magnetic lock should be used as these
are less likely to jam or seize.
•A normally-closed break-glass or manual pull (B) in the lock
supply wiring, so that in an emergency the fail-safe lock can
be immediately powered down.
You must ground the AMC-4W. Disconnect both AC and battery
power supply before working on the controller.

instructions before unpacking or touching connectors or electronics.
CAUTION: Lithium Battery
Danger of explosion if battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace only
with the same type as recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose
used batteries according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.
2.4. Unpacking
Check the packaging for visual damage. If anything has been damaged during
transport, make the transport agency aware of this.
Carefully unpack the unit. This is an electronic device that must be handled
with care to avoid damage. Do not attempt to put the unit into operation if
components are damaged.
If parts are missing, inform your customer service representative or a Bosch
Security Systems salesperson. The shipping carton is the safest transport
container for the unit. Store it and the other packaging material for future use. If
the unit has to be sent back, use the original packaging.
