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-E.
The Brivo ACS5000-E is an IP-enabled Access Control System that interacts with Brivo Central
via the Internet application ACS Online.
Because the system downloads all credential information and operating parameters from Brivo
Central, it must be properly installed and registered before it is fully functional.
Understand Brivo ACS5000-E product compatibility.
Brivo’s ACS5000-E is compatible with a large number of standard Wiegand, mag stripe,
proximity, smart card, and biometric readers. It is also compatible with 4- and 8-bit word style
Wiegand keypads.
Brivo’s ACS product family is designed to accommodate the latest updates in Wiegand reader bit
formats. The ACS5000-E is compatible with Wiegand devices that transmit up to 64-bit data.
A current list of compatible readers and keypads is maintained on Brivo’s dealer website at
http://www.brivo.com/extranet/. Use your dealer login and password to access the Extranet and
download the latest PDF version of the Wiring Guide.
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 the compatibility.
Verify that the client site is ready to support the installation.
1. Check with the IT department to ensure that the ACS5000-E is compatible with the

Plan your installation.
1. Determine the size of your control panel.
a) In addition to the control chassis, which contains the MAIN BOARD, there may
be up to seven expansion chassis.
b) The control chassis contains the MAIN BOARD, which also serves as a 2-door
board, and may also contain either a DOOR BOARD or an INPUT OUTPUT
BOARD.
c) Each expansion chassis may contain one or two boards: one DOOR BOARD,
one INPUT OUTPUT BOARD, two DOOR BOARDs, two INPUT OUTPUT
BOARDs, or one DOOR BOARD and one INPUT OUTPUT BOARD.
•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 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 250MA, 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.
Total # of chassis Max allowed distance
2 1500
3 1450
4 1400
5 1350
6 1300
7 1250
8 1200
Table 1. Maximum Distance Calculations
c) Calculate the distance between each chassis and its associated keypad or
reader. The ACS does not specify a maximum distance between the chassis and
a keypad or reader, but the keypad/reader manufacturer does. Follow
manufacturer guidelines for each keypad and reader.
d) Place each chassis within 500 feet of its associated electronic strike or latch.
Follow safety precautions.
WARNING: Fire Code
NEVER CONNECT A KEYPAD/READER OR LOCK TO DOORS WITHOUT FIRST
CONSULTING THE APPLICABLE FIRE CODE. You must consult with, and get
approval from, local fire officials before installing locks or devices on any doors that
may be fire 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

Assembly Procedures
Assemble and mount chassis.
1. 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) There are five stand-offs for each board, but there are more holes than that in the
chassis.
b) Determine which holes you will use based on the size of the boards you are
installing.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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
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.
5. Install the tamper switch in each chassis.
