2.2 FCC & ICES Information
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC rules. The limits are designed to provide reasonable pro-
tection against harmful interference in a residental installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio fre-
quency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio com-
munications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocare receiving antenna
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and the
receiver
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help

2.3 Safety Precautions
!
Read instructions!
Before working with the AMC2 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 regula-
tions must be ensured.
!
Warning! Risk of damaging equipment!
•Always switch off power of the AMC2 4W before mod-
ifying the installation.
•Do not connect or disconnect plug connectors, data
cables or screw connectors while power is on!
!
Health and Safety
Installation of the AMC2 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. 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 in the
lock supply wiring, so that in an emergency the fail-
safe lock can be immediately powered down.

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 representa-
tive or a Bosch Security Systems salesperson. The shipping car-
ton 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.
!
CAUTION!
Disconnect both AC and battery power supply before working
on the controller.
!
Warning! Risk of damage!
Protect the hardware from electrostatic discharge by observing
ESD 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.

3 Introduction
3.1 Description of the AMC2 4W
The AMC2 4W is equipped with four independent interfaces for
Wiegand type readers. By that it is able to control two doors
with a reader in each direction and up to four doors with a
reader in one direction only.
Fig. 3.1 The Access Modular Controller AMC2 4W
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 adapter provides
adequate storage capability for cardholders and events.
The AMC2 4W electronic is completely covered by a plastic
housing. The LC Display provides all important status informa-
tion.
Using the AMC2 4W gives you the full functionality and the
offline capability of a complete access control system on each
room. This leads to an excellent reliability and a very high
redundancy without paying extra money.

Fig. 3.2 The AMC2 4W in a four door safety lock
The AMC2 4W can communicate upstream to the host com-
puter via eight RS-485 multi-dropped, RS-232 or 10/100 Mbit/s
Ethernet. It has eight analog input devices and eight relay out-
puts. With its analog input devices, the AMC2 4W 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 acti-
vate an external alarm system if an intrusion or system alert is
detected. If the eight input and output on board are not enough
to configure the system up to three additional extensions
(AMC2 8I-8O-EXT or AMC2 16I-16O-EXT) can be connected. The
extensions offer 8 or 16 additional inputs and outputs.
The setup procedure for an AMC2 4W is very simple and
extremely fast by the use of door templates. Once selected, all
the inputs and outputs are predefined. This settings can be
changed using the Device Editor of the BIS Configuration
Browser in that way to choose every free contact of the
AMC2 4W or an connected extension.

3.4 System Overview
The Access Controller AMC2 4W is connected between the
management host system and different peripheral devices. By
default a management host system is connected via Ethernet. A
management host connection via RS-485 or RS-232 is also pos-
sible.
Fig. 3.6 System overview
The number of controllers in one system is limited to 200.
Corresponding to the available interfaces one AMC can be con-
nected to each COM-Port using RS-232 mode. In RS-485 mode
up to eight access controllers can be combined on one party
line.
Via Wiegand interfaces up to four peripheral devices can be
connected to each AMC2 4W. The interfaces are point-to-point
connections - this means that only one reader can be connected
to one interface.
