Introduction
8 AC-425x-B 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 moels.
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™ 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 AxTraxNG Client/Server PC 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
4 x 2.2 kΩand 4 x 8.2 kΩresistors for the supervised inputs

aspects of an access panel network.
It offers the following capabilities:
Parameter

Users capacity
30,000
Unauthorized users
30,000
Access groups

These options are software and firmware dependent, and may change in later releases or
revisions.

Introduction
10 AC-425x-B Hardware Installation and User Manual
1.1.1 Client-Server Structure
AxTraxNG operates through a dedicated AxTraxNG server computer, which communicates with
the access control panels and can serve an unlimited number of network clients.
The server also runs the system's SQL database, which contains settings and definitions for
access control across the entire facility. System users can define new cards holders and users,
and control access permissions. The system includes tools for database backup, input, and
export of previous configurations and automatic backup on a periodic basis.
AxTraxNG supports all panel types and offers scalability and flexibility in addition to a range of
advanced control features.
1.1.2 Configurable Links
The system's configurable links model makes it possible to trigger any chosen output
automatically or report a configurable alarm, based on a selected input. This allows easy
integration with other access systems such as intruder alarms, CCTV systems, and elevator
controls.
AxTraxNG can also define a selected set of operations, which are defined in configurable links,
when a panel registers a specified user or group of users. This can be useful, for example, in
elevator control systems. The system can assign users with counters, allowing a limited
number of entries to each panel.
1.1.3 Fingerprint Recognition
AxTraxNG can share user details with Rosslare's BioTrax software system. The BioTrax system
can then download all selected user information to an AYC-W6500 fingerprint reader.
Fingerprint recognition was not evaluated by UL.

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 software system.
Figure 2 shows an example setup for a network of AC-425x-B access control panels.

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.
