Introduction
The AC-020 is an advanced two door controller, which
allows you to add or delete employees from the
system, change system mode status and change
system authorization codes.
The AC-020 provides a higher level of security as the
programmer is normally placed in a secure location
while the reader sensors are remotely located outside
the controlled premises. Should a remote sensor be
attacked, entry cannot be gained as the remote
sensor only provides data to the programmer, not
authorization to release the controlled door.
The AC-020 accepts up to 500 employees for each
door via the use of proximity cards (provided
separately) or PIN. Each employee is issued a unique
proximity card or PIN code.
Employees designated 01 to 10 are Master users and
can operate the system in both the Normal and
Secure modes of operation. Employees 11 to 500,
when entered from the external reader sensor may
only operate the Controller in the Normal and Bypass
modes of operation.
It is very important to keep an accurate record of the
slot number and its assignment to each employee. This
is to enable you to add additional employees at a
later time or to delete a Prox. or PIN code if one is lost
or stolen. A record form is enclosed for your reference
to assist you with your record keeping.
The AC-020 is capable of learning both PIN codes
(keyboard based codes - 4 digits code) and Prox.
Codes (codes received from proximity card reader).

AC-020 Page 11 08/06
The Controller has two reader inputs, one for Door 1
and one for Door 2. These readers are to be located
outside the restricted area. Readers need to be
Wiegand 26 bits interface type, and may be a
Proximity card reader (for Prox. Codes), Keyboard (for
PIN type codes) or combined PIN/PROX reader.
Please refer to Accessories – page 53.
The PIN reader can be used for programming the
system, in addition to its regular duty of codes entry.
During normal use, PIN codes that are employee
codes can be entered only from reader sensor, while
Special Codes may be entered either from AC-020 or
from the reader.

Installation
The AC-020 has been designed for easy installation.
Only a few steps are required to install the controller.
In this section you will learn how to mount the
controller in your desired location.
You will learn how to wire the controller to its power
source, which includes attaching the controller to a
rechargeable Lead Acid battery.
Wiring diagrams are also provided for attaching the
controller to the REX button and External 26-Bit
Wiegand Compatible readers.

•Mounting the Controller
•Power Wiring
•Typical Lock and Option Wiring
•Reader Wiring

AC-020 Page 16 08/06
Mounting the Controller
1) Before starting, select the location for mounting
the AC-020 controller. The controller should be
installed indoors and within the premises to be
secured. It is recommended that the controller
be installed where it cannot be seen for
increased security, but still close enough to the
doors so that the controller’s annunciator (Door
Bell, Chime & Siren) can be heard.
2) Find the mounting template label that is provided
in your AC-020 packaging, and place it at the
location that you wish to install the controller. The
template is designed to assist you through the
mounting procedure, showing you where you drill
holes in the wall to pass the wiring through and
where the wall must be drilled to insert the
controllers mounting screws.
3) (Skip this step when attaching the AC-020 to a US
Gang Box)
Drill a hole for cables as indicated on the wiring
template. Two hole sizes are shown to allow for
the amount of cables needed, depending on
installation requirements or adding a backup
battery. Drill two screw holes for mounting the
AC-020 to the wall.
4) Remove the case screw from the controller (see
diagram below to locate the case screw) and
remove the front case from the controller.
5) Mount the controller to the wall using the two
screws provided in the Installation Kit or use the
screws provided with your US Gang Box when
mounting to a US Gang Box.

AC-020 Page 17 08/06
6) Wire the controller according to the diagrams on
the next few pages.
7) Return and secure the front case using the
security screw and security tool provided in the
Installation Kit.
You now have mechanically installed the controller.

Features and Concepts
Now that you have installed your AC-020 controller, it
is time to become familiar with its features and
concepts.
In this section you will learn about all the features that
are programmable. They are the basic features of the
AC-020 and can be programmed directly from the
controller’s programming keypad.
You will learn about the controller’s various modes of
operation, how to switch between the Modes of
Operation, Special Codes, Events and Event Actions.
Topics in this section:
•Modes of Operation
•Changing the Modes of Operation
•Events and Event Actions

AC-020 Page 20 08/06
Modes of Operation
IMPORTANT NOTE:
•In all of the following operations, in order to
select DOOR 1 press the * key. In order to select
DOOR 2 press the # key.
•In the following operations, if the operation is
done from an external reader, always press the
# key on the external keyboard.
•The following examples show the LED status of
Door 1 but are applicable to Door 2 as well.
The AC-020 has three modes of operation Normal,
Bypass, and Secure Mode. The three modes provide
different levels of security.
1) Normal Mode
•The DOOR 1 / DOOR 2
LED is green
DOOR 2
GREEN
•In this mode the Controller is in the normal
level of security. Only those codes that the
Controller recognizes will activate the Lock
Strike.
•The controller’s keypad is used for
programming, changing modes of
operation, and activating the Lock Strike
using the employee codes.
•The Lock Strike will remain active according
to the programmed Release Time.
•In addition, it is possible to activate the Lock
Strike in the following ways:
a. Pressing the REX button
b. Valid Code (from an outside reader only
using Prox. Code or Pin. Code)
2) Bypass Mode
