3. Installation
3.1 Mounting the Controller
Prior to starting, select the location where the controller unit is to be
mounted.
To install the controller:
1. Open the controller by loosening and removing the case security
screw at the bottom using the security spline key.
2. Depending on the type of installation, gang box or panel mount,
drill the respective holes in the rear cover (Figure 3).
Figure 3: Drilling Holes Identification
The central hole is for routing the wiring to the controller.
3. Use the provided drilling template to accurately locate and drill
the required holes in the wall or panel.
4. Use the hardware provided to mount the back plate on the wall
or on a gang box. Be sure to route the wiring via the large center
hole in the back plate. Check for level.
5. Wire the controller's pre-wired cable as described in Section 3.2.
6. Once wired, replace the controller back onto its back plate and
secure using the tamper-proof screw and special tool, supplied
with the hardware.

Installation
AC-F/G4x Family Installation and Programming Manual 15
3.2 Wiring the Controller
The controllers are provided with a one-meter, pre-wired, 10-
conductor 18-AWG cable.
To wire the controller:
1. Cut and strip the conductors to the necessary length.
2. Splice the controller pigtail wires to the corresponding ancillary
devices and insulate each connection, including unused wires.
3. Refer to Table 1 and to the wiring diagrams, depending on the
desired application:
Wiring the Lock Strike Relay & REX (Figure 4)
Wiring for Auxiliary Input & Output (Figure 5)
Wiring for the BL-D40 External Sounder (Figure 6)

4. Operation
•In the Operation chapter, “code” refers to a PIN code or proximity
card depending on the unit you have.
•Memory slots can be a proximity card or PIN code depending on
the unit you have.
4.1 Modes of Operation
The control units have three modes of operation. These are indicated
by the color of the Mode indicator:
4.1.1 Normal Mode (Default)
The mode indicator is green.
In Normal mode, the door is locked until a valid primary code is
presented to the controller.
The controller can only be programmed in Normal mode.
4.1.2 Secure Mode
The mode indicator is red.
Only secure and master users can access the premises in Secure mode.
A secure user must enter a primary and secondary code to gain entry.
Once the primary code has been entered, the Door indicator flashes
green for 10 seconds. During this time, the secondary code must be
entered. A master user only needs to enter his code to gain entry.
4.1.3 Bypass Mode
The mode indicator is orange.
In Bypass mode, access to the premises is dependent on the Lock
Strike relays; that is, if the relay is programmed for failsafe operation
or fail-secure operation.
When the Lock Strike relay is programmed for fail secure operation,
the door is locked until the star button (*) is pressed.
When the Lock Strike relay is programmed for failsafe operation, the
door is constantly unlocked.

Operation
20 AC-F/G4x Family Installation and Programming Manual
In case of power failure, once the power is restored, the controller
returns to Normal mode for security reasons.
4.2 User Levels
The AC-F4x and AC-G4x series access control units accept up to 500
users and provide entry via the use of codes. Each user is allocated
two memory slots: Memory Slot 1 (primary code) and Memory Slot 2
(secondary code).
The way in which the two memory slots are programmed, determines
a user’s access level and also establishes access is granted for each of
the three modes of operation.
There are three user levels:
Normal User
A normal user only has a primary code and is granted access only
when the controller is in its Normal or Bypass mode.
Secure User
A secure user must have a primary and secondary code assigned,
and the two codes must not be the same. The secure user can
gain access in any mode of operation. In Normal mode, the
secure user must use the primary code to gain entry. In Secure
mode, the secure user must first enter the primary and then the
secondary code, in order to gain entry.
Master User
A master user must have identical primary and secondary codes
assigned. The codes are entered with the same proximity card or
the same PIN. The master user can gain access during any mode
of operation by entering their code only once.
