Introduction
1. Introduction
The AC-525 is a multi-door Networked Access Controller coupled with a
digital Video server and Edge DVR technology. The panel supports two
analog camera inputs and 2 voice channels. The system streams audio &
video in ISO standard Compliant MPEG-4 (SP) in complete synchronization
with real-time access control data. The highly integrated panel has a built
in embedded Linux OS with web server, which enables advanced
network communications options. USB 2.0 allows DVR Flexibility.
Each panel supports two standard PIN and/or Proximity readers, 4 relay
outputs, 4 inputs, and supports 30,000 access control users. The panel can
encode and digitally broadcast two analog audio/video signals over a
built-in Ethernet (TCP/IP) connection.
The 4 Relay outputs and 4 inputs are expandable to 8 outputs and 12
inputs with MD-IO84 IO expansion.
The panel supports 4 readers, 8 inputs and 8 outputs, using the MD-D02
reader expansion board. (Contact the Rosslare sales office for availability
information).
The streaming digital multimedia allows for real time remote video
surveillance of MPEG-4 over the LAN/WAN and DVR systems.
A USB 2.0 Edge DVR allows the flexibility of recording locally on USB Keys,
upon a range of triggers.
The PTZ camera can have 2 preset channels, one for each door in a 2
door application.
When used in combination with Rosslare's AS-525AV ViTrax and AxTrax
software systems, the AC-525 gives you full control over the entrances to
your premises. The system can control both single and double door
entrances, or up to 4 doors using the MD-D02 reader expansion board. It
supports up to 30,000 users and uses flash memory to enable easy
firmware upgrades.
For more information on the AS-525AV ViTrax and AxTrax systems, refer to
the AS-525AV ViTrax and AxTrax Software User Manuals.

•Controller board
•MD-IPAV1 – video module
•Power Transformer AC/AC 220/16VAC

1.2 AxTrax AS-525
The AxTrax AS-525 software system is custom designed to set-up, manage
and supervise all aspects of an access panel network.
It offers the following capabilities:
User capacity 30000
Access groups 30000
Number of panels in system 1023
AC-525 Hardware Installation and User GuidePage 5

Introduction
Note:
These options are software and firmware dependent, and
may change in later releases or revisions.
Client-Server Structure
AxTrax AS-525 operates through a dedicated AxTrax 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. Clients can
define new employees and control access permissions and the system
includes tools for database backup, input, and export of previous
configurations and automatic backing-up on a periodic basis.
AxTrax AS-525 supports several access control panel types including the
AC-525, and offers scalability and flexibility in addition to a range of
advanced control features.
Configurable Links
The system's configurable links model makes it possible to automatically
trigger any chosen input, output, or event. It also automatically reports 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.
AxTrax AS-525 can also define a selected set of operations (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.
Fingerprint Recognition
AxTrax can share user details with Rosslare's BioTrax software system. The
BioTrax system can then download all selected users information to an
AYC-W6500 fingerprint reader.

When wiring the AC-525 for supervised inputs, resistors should be placed
on the input switch and not on the terminal block.
For further details refer to Input and Output Requirements on page 18.
3.4 Outputs Wiring
The following diagram illustrates wiring for two main types of 12VDC
electrical release mechanisms. Other electrical devices can be switched
using the voltage free relay contacts.

3.5 Power Supply
The following diagram illustrates the wiring between the AC/AC adaptor
and the AC525. It is recommended to add a 12VDC lead acid backup
battery if the main power supply fails.
Backup battery must be used if implementing Figure 4 and Figure 5
(connecting lock device to battery power, when more than 1A of current
is required).
For further information refer to the Outputs section on page 25.

3.6 Reader
Proximity and keypad readers are supplied with a limited cable. The color
of the cable cover represents the cable’s function.
Note:
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
150m with an 18 AWG cable).

3.7 Video
To connect the AC-525 to the two video cameras, a BNC to BNC cable is
needed.
An Ethernet cable connects the panel (RJ45) to the Ethernet.
For each camera, there is an optional microphone in and speaker out.
For PTZ camera, add two wires, a 75 ohm BNC to BNC cable, for camera
control.
Note: Please use USB

Input and Output Requirements
4. Input and Output Requirements
This chapter describes the AC-525 access control panel's input and output
requirements.
4.1 Input Types
There are six input types – Normally Open, Normally Closed, Normally
Open Supervised 1 or 2 resistors, and Normally Closed Supervised 1 or 2
resistors.
Inputs IN1, IN1A, IN2, and IN2A may be configured individually as either
supervised or non-supervised inputs. Configure each input separately via
the ViTrax AS-525AV system.
Non-supervised inputs have two states:
•Normal State
•Abnormal State
Supervised inputs have three states:
•Normal State
•Abnormal State
•Trouble State.
The Trouble state is caused by either tampering with the input circuit or by
faulty hardware installation. Once configured as supervised input, add a
resistor of 2.2K, 8.2K, or both on the input circuit. See the following
diagrams.
Normally Open Input Connection:
Normally Open Input has 2 states:
•Switch Open – Normal State:
Loop resistance = Infinite (open circuit).
•Switch Closed – Abnormal State:
Loop resistance = 0 (short circuit).
AC-525 Hardware Installation and User Guide Page 18

Input and Output Requirements
Figure 10: Normally Open Input Connection
Normally Closed Input Connection:
Normally Closed Input has two states:
•Switch Closed – Normal State:
Loop resistance = 0 (short circuit)
•Switch Open – Abnormal State:
Loop resistance = Infinite (open circuit)
