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 ACS6000 control panel.
The ACS6000-E and ACS6000-A 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 (ACS6000-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 ACS6000-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 Internet application Brivo Onair.
The Brivo ACS6000-A is identical to the ACS6000-E except that the ACS6000-A communicates to a Brivo
Onsite Server instead of the Brivo Onair cloud server.
The ACS6008-E and ACS6008-A are identical to their respective ACS6000 models except for a larger
enclosure which allows for two additional expansion boards (door board or input-output boards). Also,
the ACS6008 series are connected to two (2) 12V, 7Ah batteries for standby power (Batteries should be
connected in parallel).
Understand Brivo ACS6000 control panel product compatibility.
The ACS6000 control panel is compatible with a large number of standard reader models including the
following (UL tested for compatibility) reader models: HID600, Identiv 8110, HID RPK40, Allegion MTK15,
AWID KP-6840, and OSDP reader 921PTPTEK00385. Brivo products are designed to accommodate the
latest updates in Wiegand and OSDP using RS-485 reader formats. The ACS6000 control board is
compatible with Wiegand devices that transmit up to 255-bit data and 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 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.
Verify that the client site is ready to support the installation.
1. Check with the IT department to ensure that the ACS6000 control panel to be installed is
compatible with the company’s local area network (LAN).
a) The ACS6000 control panel is equipped with a standard RJ-45 socket that accepts a CAT5
or CAT6 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 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 configuration parameters and information about
security considerations.
2. Download the appropriate Quick Start Guide from the Brivo website and provide it to the Master
Administrator. This document provides instructions for registering and configuring the control
panel in the appropriate application.
3. For Brivo Onair accounts, make sure the account has been created and the control panel is

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. 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.
d. Each large expansion chassis (ACS6008) may contain up to four boards, in any
combination of DOOR BOARDs and/or INPUT OUTPUT BOARDs.
•Each DOOR BOARD has two terminal nodes, each of which contains a 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. 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.

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.

General Assembly Procedures
Assemble and mount chassis.
1. Stick the identity label to the inside of the metal chassis.
2. Install the supplied nylon stand-offs into each chassis by inserting them from the rear.
NOTE: This step MUST be performed before the chassis is mounted to the wall.
Once the chassis has been mounted, it is not possible to insert the stand-offs.
a) For the MAIN BOARD, there are 5 standoffs and 1 screw for the ground post, but there
are more holes than that in the chassis.
b) For DOOR BOARDs and INPUT OUTPUT BOARDs, there are five stand-offs for each
board, but there are more holes than that in the chassis.
c) Determine which holes you will use based on the size of the boards you are installing.
3. Mount the chassis.
a) Use four bolts to mount each chassis securely in place.
b) Make sure the chassis door can swing open freely to allow for access after the
installation is complete.
c) In tight spaces, the removable hinge design of the ACS6000/ACS6008 enclosures allow
an installer to completely remove the chassis door and replace it just as easily upon
completion of the installation.
4. Remove any knock-outs that may be required to accommodate conduit or wiring.
WARNING: Knockouts
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE KNOCKOUTS WITH A HAMMER. Banging on
the knockouts may result in shock to the circuit boards, which could cause
permanent damage. Pry them out using a screwdriver.
5. Assemble the chassis.
a) Install the power supply board in each chassis first. If you install the MAIN BOARD or a
Door or INPUT OUTPUT BOARD first, you may find it difficult to position your
screwdriver in a way that will allow you to install the power supply board later.
b) Install the MAIN BOARD in the control chassis.
•Install each board by aligning it with the previously installed stand-offs and
then gently pressing it into place. You will hear a slight click as the board
settles into the locked position on the standoffs.
•After that, screw on the ground post screw on the bottom left corner.
c) If there is a DOOR BOARD or an INPUT OUTPUT BOARD for the control chassis, install
that now, using the procedures described for the MAIN BOARD.

d) If there are expansion chassis, install the appropriate DOOR BOARDs and/or INPUT
OUTPUT BOARDs in each chassis at this time, using the procedures described for the
MAIN BOARD.
e) You will note that the control panel kit contained an adhesive Identity Label. This label
should be affixed to the inside of the front door of the control chassis, beneath the large
wiring guide.
6. Verify presence of optical tamper reflector on the inside of the chassis door.
7. OPTIONAL: Install the physical tamper switch in the chassis.
a) Install the tamper switch in the chassis by removing the hex collar, seating the switch
inside the provided mounting bracket, and reattaching and tightening the hex collar.
