Pre-Installation Procedures
Before you begin installing the Brivo control panel, perform the following tasks to ensure a safe, speedy, and
successful installation.
Understand the function of the Brivo ACS5000 control panel (A/E/S).
The ACS5000-E, ACS5000-A, and ACS5000-S are four (4) reader control panels with multiple access
points (up to four readers per chassis). This control panel is considered a standalone system. The
main board has two (2) readers on-board, and one additional expansion board can be integrated with
the main board which will form the four (4) reader panel. Additional expansion panels (ACS5000-EXP)
can connect to the main control panel with two expansion boards in each. Each expansion board can
be a door board (two (2) readers on board) or an input-output board.
The Brivo ACS5000-E uses an on-board Ethernet interface to communicate via any TCP/IP networking
technology that can be connected through a hub, router or switch, including Wi-Fi and satellite
communications. It is an IP-enabled Access Control System that interacts with the Brivo OnAir cloud
server via the Brivo OnAir application.
The Brivo ACS5000-A is identical to the ACS5000-E except that the ACS5000-A communicates to a
Brivo OnSite Server instead of the Brivo OnAir cloud server.
The Brivo ACS5000-S is identical to the ACS5000-E except that the ACS5000-S cannot communicate
through the web. Instead, it is programmed through an on-board interface for data management.
The ACS5008-E, ACS5008-A, and ACS5008-S are identical to their respective ACS5000 models except
for a larger enclosure which allows for two additional expansion boards (for a total of up to four door
boards and/or input-output boards). Also, the ACS5008 series are connected to two (2) 12V, 7Ah
batteries for standby power (Batteries should be connected in parallel).
For communications to remote sites or other locations not served by wired bandwidth technologies,
the Brivo ACS5000-E can be linked to a Brivo Cellular Network Router (CNR).
Because the ACS5000-E downloads all credential information and operating parameters from the
Brivo OnAir cloud server, it must be properly installed and configured through the Brivo OnAir cloud
server before it is fully functional.
WARNING: CHECK YOUR FIRMWARE
Please contact Brivo Technical Support at 866-274-8648, option 3 or email
[email protected] to confirm that your ACS5000 panel is loaded with
the latest firmware. If it is not, please follow the instructions provided by Brivo
Technical Support to upgrade your firmware to the latest version before
proceeding with the installation.
Understand Brivo ACS5000 product compatibility.
The ACS5000 control panel is compatible with a large number of standard reader models including
the following (UL tested for compatibility) reader models: Essex KTP162, Essex KTP163, HID 5355,
HID 5365, HID 6005, HID 310, AWID KP-6840, and BIOSCRYPT VSmart. Brivo products are designed
to accommodate the latest updates in Wiegand formats. The ACS5000 control board is compatible
with Wiegand devices that transmit up to 255-bit data.
A current list of compatible readers and keypads is maintained on Brivo’s website at
http://www.brivo.com. If you have a specific 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.

complete set of terminals for controlling a door. This means that each DOOR
BOARD can be used to control two doors.
• The same inputs and outputs that drive a door can also be used for other
devices as configured through Brivo Online. In other words, DOOR BOARDs
do not need to be used to control doors.
WARNING: Door Wiring
If a node is to be used for a door, do not connect any other device to the
following terminal blocks: REX & DOOR, DOOR LOCK RELAY, and READER.
• An INPUT OUTPUT BOARD cannot be used to control a door; however, it can
be used in any circumstance that uses contact closure to track change of
status.
8. You may download and complete the appropriate Installation Worksheets from Brivo’s
website.
9.
For ACS5000-E control panels using the Brivo Cellular Network Router only
: If possible, verify
the strength of the signal at the planned location of the Cellular Network Router.
Decide where to install each chassis.
1. Do not place the control chassis more than 100 feet from the transformer. This is the
maximum cable run allowed by the ACS power supply.
2. Calculate the distance between the control chassis and each expansion chassis using the
chart in Table 1 below. The calculations are based on the following restrictions.
a) The control chassis, containing the MAIN BOARD, and the first expansion chassis can
be up to 1500 feet apart.
b) Each time another expansion chassis is added, the maximum distance between the
first and last chassis decreases by 50 feet. So, if there are three chassis in a system,
the control chassis plus two expansion chassis, the two most distant chassis can be
no more than 1450 apart.
