ACM24D: 2 Door, 4 Reader Access Control Module

Description

The ACM24D is an access controller designed to work

within the Imperial system. It is capable of monitoring two

doors and up to 4 readers connected on a simple 4-wire

reader bus. The ACM24D was designed to be a complete

stand-alone module providing uninterrupted operation

should the rest of the system fail. The module can store and

buffer up to 1,000 access events. The Imperial system’s

1000 cards, 256 schedules and 256 access levels are also

stored internally. The ACM24D provides ultra fast response

time for access operations and is fully firmware upgradeable

via its communication bus. In fact, other than programming

and reporting events to the Imperial system, the ACM24D is

a completely stand-alone module.

With its DIN rail design, the module requires very little

space, and is fast and easy to install. With its built-in power

supply and battery backup, the ACM24D provides truly

reliable and fail-proof access control management.

Sharing

Modules with this feature can share a

central transformer (16-24Vac, or 16-

36Vdc) throughout the system. Ensure

that the total power output of the

transformer is respected. There is no

specific polarity.

4RS485 Access Bus

Connect to V32 RS485 Access bus.

Ensure that it is powered by an

external power supply (PS27D). This

will not be necessary with an

upcoming V32 hardware version,

which will supply the power (see

www.paradox.com for availability).

5Battery Input

Connect a 12Vdc (4Ah or 7Ah)

rechargeable gel cell battery. Apply

AC power before connecting the

battery. If battery wires are extended,

use an external fuse to protect against

a short.

Assigning a Reader to a Door

After connecting the readers to the ACM24D, you must assign each reader to a door. You can assign them manually at

each ACM24D without the need of the readers’ serial number, or you can assign them through BabyWare (requires

knowledge of reader’s serial). To do so, follow the steps below.

1Create Required Doors in BabyWare

A) Open BabyWare and connect to the account.

B) Ensure the Doors toggle button is on.

C) Right-click the Doors header and select Add

Door. You can also use the Add Item button.

D) Double-click the desired door. This opens the

Doors window

2Assign ACM24D to Selected Door

A) From the Access Module drop-down menu,

select the desired ACM24D module.

B) From the ACM Doors drop-down menu,

select either Door 1 or Door 2.

C) Go to step 3 and use Manual Assignment

Mode or BabyWare Assignment Mode

3Manual Reader Assignment Mode

A) Press and hold the DOOR 1 button for 3 sec.

B) The READER IN LED and the LED of all

readers on the reader bus will flash.

C) Present any access card to the reader you

want to assign, or press the reader’s 3

button.

D) Press the DOOR 1 button to switch to

Reader Out.

E) The READER OUT LED and the LED of all

readers on the reader bus will flash.

F) Present any access card to the reader you

want to assign, or press the reader’s 3

button.

G) Press the DOOR 1 button to exit this mode.

H) Repeat steps A to F for DOOR 2.

BabyWare Reader Assignment Mode

A) From the Doors window (see step 2), click

the Program Module button. This opens the

ACM24D Programming window.

B) Under Reader1 (IN), click the button and

select the reader’s serial number from the list

that appears. You can also type the serial

number manually.

C) Repeat for Reader2 (OUT).

D) Click OK.

E) Click Send.

Bi-directional Locate Feature

Pressing the locate button will initiate the Module Locate feature. When a Module Locate is initiated, the module’s representation in the BabyWare

software will flash and the module’s BUS, RX and TX LEDs will flash at 1Hz to indicate that it is in locate mode. A module locate can also be intiated from

the BabyWare software. From BabyWare right-click the module’s representation and select Locate Physical. The module’s BUS, RX and TX LEDs will

flash. We highly recommend that after pressing locate and identifying the module, open the programming page and assign the proper physical location

label and the doors’ labels and locations. After complete connection, use the space provided on the module to indicate the doors’ description.

Remote Firmware Upgrade

The ACM24D is firmware upgradeable remotely via the V32 controller’s RS485 Access bus at 57.6Kbps. Using BabyWare connect to the V32 account,

then right-click the desired module and select Upgrade. A firmware upgrade for a single module or group of modules will take usually less than 10 minutes.

J2 ON Internal Power (12Vdc)

After lock activation, the

ACM24D goes into energy

save mode and reduces the

voltage.
