Brivo ACS100 Installation Manual
Pre-Installation Procedures
Before you begin installing the Brivo control panel, perform the following tasks to ensure a safe, speedy, and suc-
cessful installation.
Understand the function of the Brivo ACS100-E control panel.
The ACS100-E is a one door control panel with a single access point. This control panel is considered a
standalone system. The control board has one reader on-board. A second reader is supported for
single door in/out antipassback congurations.
The Brivo ACS100-E uses an on-board Ethernet PoE interface to communicate via any TCP/IP networking
technology that can be connected through a hub, router or switch, including satellite communications. It
is an IP-enabled Access Control System that interacts with the Brivo Onair cloud server via
the Internet application Brivo Onair.
Understand Brivo ACS100 product compatibility.
The ACS100 control panel allows for the attachment of one additional reader directly to the ACS100 control
panel for the purposes of in/out scenarios (anti-passback). As such, the ACS100 is compatible with a
large number of standard OSDP reader models including the following (UL tested for compatibility) reader
models: OSDP reader 921PTPTEK00385. Brivo products are designed to accommodate the latest updates in
OSDP using RS-485 reader formats. The ACS100 control board is compatible with OSDP readers using
RS-485.
A current list of compatible readers and keypads is maintained on Brivo’s website at http://www.brivo.com.
If you have a specic model of reader or keypad that is not listed on the Brivo website, please contact
Technical Support at 1-866-BRIVO-4-U to determine compatibility.
Verify that the client site is ready to support the installation.
1. Check with the IT department to ensure that the ACS100 to be installed is compatible with the
company’s local area network (LAN).
a) The ACS100 is equipped with a standard RJ-45 socket that accepts a CAT5 cable with an RJ-
45 plug on any 10/100 Ethernet network. Physically connecting the panel is the same
as plugging any computer or other device into the LAN.
b) Refer to connection instructions on Page 13 or in the Panel Networking Admin Interface
Guide for instructions on connecting to the LAN. The Panel Networking Admin Interface
Guide also contains a complete list of requirements regarding TCP/IP conguration
parameters and information about security considerations.
2. Download the Brivo Onair Account Quick Start Guide from the Brivo website and provide it to the
Master Administrator. This document provides instructions for registering and conguring the
control panel in the application.
3. Make sure the account has been created and the control panel is registered through Brivo Onair. If
the control panel has not been registered by the dealer, the installer may either contact Brivo
Technical Support for assistance or simply register the panel directly.
4. Verify that the Master Administrator and any other employee who will be accessing the system have
Internet access on a computer equipped with a supported Web browser.

Verify shipping contents.
1. Locate and check the contents of the Control Panel kit.
The ACS100 kit should contain the following parts:
a) 1 cardboard box containing the following:
·The ACS100 unit, with its identication label on the back
·An additional loose label for reference.
·A quick start guide
·A bag of accessory parts containing:
·1 MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor)
·2 120 ohm RS-485 bus termination resistors.
·Back mounting metal plate and attachment screw
·Pigtail cable with connections for door I/O and optional external reader
Plan your installation. Decide where to install the ACS100.
1. If not using Power Over Ethernet (PoE), do not place the ACS100 more than 100 feet from the
transformer. This is the maximum cable run allowed by most external power supplies.
a) Calculate the distance between the ACS100 and its associated keypad or reader. The ACS100
does not specify a maximum distance between the ACS100 and a keypad or reader, but the
keypad/reader manufacturer does. Follow manufacturer guidelines for each keypad
and reader.
b) Place the ACS100 within 50 feet of its associated electronic strike or latch.

Follow safety precautions.
WARNING: Fire Code
Never connect A keypad/reader or lock to doors without rst consulting the applicable re code. You must consult
with, and get approval from, local re ocials before installing locks or devices on any doors that may be re exits.
Use of egress push buttons may not be legal. Single action exits may be required. Always obtain proper permits and
approvals in writing before installing equipment
WARNING: Fail Secure Mode
Do not install the system in the fail secure mode unless permitted by the local authority having jurisdiction. Doing
so may cause interference with the operation of panic hardware.
WARNING: Heat and Noise
Do not install the control panel in an area that could drop below 32 degrees FAHRENHEIT OR exceed 120 degrees.
Doing so can cause damage to components within the control panel.
Do not install the control panel near or on the same circuit with devices that produce large amounts of electrical
noise. This includes grinders, electric motors and blowers, electrical switch-gear and other electrically noisy equip-
ment. Electrical noise can interfere with panel operation. If it is not possible to install the panel away from such
sources of noise, it is advisable to isolate it by using a high-quality UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) between the
AC Mains and the transformer.
·Unit is for indoor and outdoor use.
·Power wiring attached to the ACS100 unit should be 22 AWG or larger.
·Category 5 cabling is the minimum performance category recommended.
·Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch.
· Compliance with IEEE 802.3 (at or af) specications was not veried as part of UL294/B.
·If powered by 12VDC, the power supply must be a UL294 listed or UL 603 listed power supply.
Battery capacity for loss of primary power at least zero (0) hours.
