Paradox ACM12 User manual

ACM12
Installation Manual V4.5 and higher
Supports EVOHD / EVO192 V4.5 and higher
Description
Thank you for choosing the ACM12 for your access control. The ACM12 is designed to be used with the Paradox EVO system.
It allows you to manage access of one door, via card, pin or both, provide forced door and door left open detection, and arm / disarm
functions. The ACM12 supports full Off-Line functionality, which stores the entire database in memory when the panel connection is lost and
enables full synchronization upon restore. It supports one IN reader and one OUT reader if using 4-wire Paradox readers, or one IN reader
only if using the 7-wire 26-bit Wiegand reader. The ACM12 also supports a REX, a door contact that can be an alarm zone, and a door
locking device.
With accelerated response of up to 999 users, simple and minimal programing, as well as easy installation, the ACM12 is designed to
provide you with a reliable and professional access solution.
Compatibility
ACM12 V4.5 and higher is compatible only with panels EVOHD V4.5 and higher and EVO192 V4.5 and higher.
Upgrade Note
When upgrading to the latest version, it is advisable to upgrade the panel first, and then upgrade the ACM12 module.
Off-Line Feature
The ACM12 V4.5 fully supports Off-Line functionality. In the case of panel connection loss, the ACM12 will switch to Off-Line mode and
will fully function with user access level and schedules; arm / disarm user permissions will be overridden. While resuming
communications with the panel, all programming changes will be updated. In Off-Line mode, events are kept locally in the module and
can be uploaded manually for each ACM12 when communication is restored.
Installation (Figure 1)
Connect the ACM12 as per the drawing below. When powering up, all ACM12 modules will synchronize with the panel and upload all user
and schedule data. Typically, 100 users and 10 schedules will take about 50 seconds to upload. This will also take place upon resuming
connection with the panel. Synchronization is indicated by RX/TX LEDs flashing together at 4 Hz. If an ACM12 V4.5 detects a connection
to a different EVO panel, data will be erased and the new panel data will be synchronized.
POWER: The ACM12 should be powered with a 16 Vac 20Va. Battery should be connected.

Unlock Device Diode: When connecting a locking device, it is recommended to connect diode 1N4007 as per Figure 1, to keep the relay
contacts reliability.
Firmware Upgrade: Should you need to upgrade the ACM12 firmware, connect the CV4USB A+ to Green and B- to Yellow, and power
Red and Black.
Turning Auxiliary Power ON / OFF (V4.52 and above)
Press and hold the AUX ON / OFF switch for 7 seconds. This toggles the auxiliary power ON or OFF.
IN / OUT Reader Assignment (V4.52 and above)
The reader that is detected first will be considered the IN reader, by default. The reader that is detected second will be considered the
OUT reader.
Changing the Default Reader Assignment (V4.52 and above)
1. Press and hold the AUX ON / OFF switch for 3 seconds. The ERROR, TX and RX LEDs flash for 2-3 seconds.
2. Press any key or present an access card to the reader you want to designate as the IN reader. Automatically, the other reader will be
designated as the OUT reader.
