Introduction
8 AC-425x-B Series Hardware Installation and User Manual
1. Introduction
In this manual
, unless otherwise stated, “AC-425x-B” refers to both the regular AC-
425
-B and the AC-425IP-B models.
The AC-425x-B access control panel is a state-of-the-art networked access
controller, employing the latest technology to meet the requirements of the
market.
The state-of-the-art dual/quad door AC-425x-B networked access controller is the
backbone of medium scale security systems handling up to 30,000 users and 8184
doors.
Each AC-425x-B access control unit (ACU) supports four readers (In/Out) of various
formats including standard Wiegand 26-bit. Installations can also have one reader
per door.
The AC-425x-B comes in two models:
AC-425-B – standard model
AC-425IP-B – supports TCP/IP connection
Driven by Rosslare’s powerful, flexible, and easy-to-use AxTraxNG™ or AxTraxPro™
Access Control Management Software, the system provides an ideal, modular, and
expandable solution for commercial and institutional needs. It provides seamless
integration with Rosslare's range of RFID proximity, PIN, Proximity & PIN,
smartcard, and biometric readers with Rosslare’s selection of RFID credentials.
The AC-425x-B is ready for installation with a mountable & lockable metal
enclosure integrated with transformer, power supply/charger, sounder and control
board.
Using onboard RS-232/485, Ethernet TCP/IP (AC-425IP-B model only), multiple
local or remote sites, door sub-networks can connect to the AxTrax NG/AxTraxPro
Access Control Management Software running on Microsoft®Windows®98/ME &
NT/2000/XP/7 operating systems.
The AC-425x-B consists of the following components:
AC-425x-B controller board
Panel enclosure
PM-10 management board
Power transformer

3. AC-425x-B Panel Setup
Each AC-425x-B panel controls 2 or 4 doors (up to 8 doors with MD-D04B). The
panels connect together in a network and are controlled by a central server
computer, running the AxTraxNG/AxTraxPro Access Control Management
Software.
Figure 2 shows an example setup for a network of AC-425x-B access control panels.
Figure 2: Sample AC-425x-B Configuration
Bushings are needed for any conductors leaving the enclosure through the
provided openings
.

3.2 Inputs Wiring – Supervised Inputs
When wiring the AC-425x-B for supervised inputs, resistors should be placed on
the input switch and not on the terminal block.
For more details, refer to Chapter 4.
3.3 Outputs Wiring
Figure 4 and Figure 5 illustrate wiring for two main types of 12 VDC electrical
release mechanisms. Other electrical devices can be switched using the voltage
free relay contacts.

3.4 Power Supply
Figure 6 illustrates wiring between the PM-10 power management board and the
AC-425x-B. Make sure the connection polarity is correct, (+) to (+) and (-) to (-).
Connect the power to the input power terminals of the control panel. It is
recommended to add a 12 VDC lead acid backup battery (requires the ME-1015
Power Management Enclosure) to have uninterrupted operation in case main
power supply fails. A 12 V, 7 AH battery provides 3 hours of backup operation.

3.6 Readers
Proximity and keypad readers are supplied with a limited cable. The color of the
cable cover represents the cable’s function according to Wiegand standards
(Figure 8).
When extending the cable distance, be careful with the color of the cable cover.
Refer to the reader specifications for the maximum cable length (typically 150 m
with an 18 AWG cable).

The MD-D04B is an optional reader expansion board that adds 4 readers, 4 relay
outputs and 4 supervised inputs to the access control panel. Attach the MD-D04B
to the AC-425x-B's expansion slot, as marked in red in Figure 9.
For more information, see the MD-D04B Installation and User Guide.

Input and Output Connections
AC-425x-B Series Hardware Installation and User Manual 19
4. Input and Output Connections
This chapter describes the AC-425x-B access control panel's input and output
connections.
4.1 Input Types
There are four input types:
Normally Closed (N.C.)
Normally Open (N.O.)
Single EOL resistor
Double EOL resistor
Inputs IN1, IN2, IN3, and IN4 may be configured individually as either supervised or
non-supervised inputs. Use the AxTraxNG/AxTraxPro Access Control Management
Software to configure each input separately.
Non-supervised inputs have two states:
Normal
Abnormal
Supervised inputs have three states:
Normal
Abnormal
Trouble
The Trouble state is caused by either tampering with the input circuit or by faulty
hardware installation. Once an input is configured as a supervised input, add a
resistor of 2.2 kΩ, of 8.2 kΩ, or both on the input circuit. See the following
diagrams.
4.1.1 Normally Open Input Connection
A Normally Open Input has 2 states:
Switch Open – Normal State:
Loop resistance = Infinite (open circuit)
Switch Closed – Abnormal State:
Loop resistance = 0 (short circuit)
Figure 10: Normally Open Input Connection

Input and Output Connections
20 AC-425x-B Series Hardware Installation and User Manual
4.1.2 Normally Closed Input Connection
A Normally Closed Input has two states:
Switch Closed – Normal State:
Loop resistance = 0 (short circuit)
Switch Open – Abnormal State:
Loop resistance = Infinite (open circuit)
Figure 11: Normally Closed Input Connection
4.1.3 Normally Open Supervised Single EOL Resistor Input Connection
Connect an 8.2 kΩresistor in parallel to the input switch contacts.
A Normally Open Supervised Input has 3 states:
Switch Open – Normal State:
Loop resistance = 8.2 kΩ
Switch Closed – Abnormal State:
Loop resistance = 0 (short circuit)
Open circuit across input terminals – Trouble State:
Loop resistance = Infinite (open circuit).
