Introduction
8 AC-015 Hardware Installation and Programming Manual
1. Introduction
The AC-015 Single-Door Access Control Programmer allows you to
add or delete employees from the system, change system mode status
and change system authorization codes.
The AC-015 provides a higher level of security as the programmer is
normally placed in a secure location while the reader sensor is
remotely located outside the premises to be controlled. Should the
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 system may be connected with the optional PC monitor program
for easier management of the employee database or for online
monitoring of door access. The system is linked to a PC via RS-232
serial link. The PC receives information from the AC-015, which is
displayed and saved to a database.
Codes entries and their consequences are visible in Online mode of
the software. The Employees menu is used to describe, enter and
associate employee code numbers with employee name and details.
Programming menu is used to define door details, working days and
holiday definitions. Reports menu specifies which kind of report to
build. Options menu is used for communication setup, language
setup, operator’s password and database status. For more details
refer to the AC-015 Monitor Program Manual. The AC-015 accepts
up to 500 employees via the use of proximity cards (provided
separately) or PIN codes into the system. 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 system in both 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 proximity 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-015 is capable of learning both PIN codes (keyboard based, 4-
digit codes) and proximity codes (received from proximity card
reader). The system can be connected to up to two reader sensors. An
external reader is to be located outside the restricted area, and it is
always required. The second reader is for internal installation. Readers
need to be a Wiegand 26-Bit interface type, and may be a proximity
card reader (for proximity codes), keyboard (for PIN type codes), or
combined PIN/proximity reader.
A PIN reader, connected to indoor reader input, can perform all the
operations usually performed from the onboard keyboard (depending
on the PIN reader model). A PIN reader connected to an external
reader input will behave similarly, but access level is different on
certain AC-015 status of operation.

3. Installation
The AC-015 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 Wiegand 26-bit compatible readers. Also
covered in this section is how to wire the AC-015 to a PC.
Topics in this section:
Mounting the Controller
Power Wiring
Typical Lock and Option Wiring
Reader Wiring
Connecting a Controller to a PC

Mounting the Controller
14 AC-015 Hardware Installation and Programming Manual
4. Mounting the Controller
Before starting, select the location for mounting the AC-015
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. When selecting a location, take into
consideration how the controller will be attached to a PC for easier
programming and system maintenance.
To mount the controller:
If you are attaching the AC-015 to a US Gang Box, skip to
Step 2.
1. Find the mounting template label that is provided in your AC-015
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.
2. 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-015 to the
wall.
3. Remove the case screw from the controller (see Figure 1) and
remove the front case from the controller.

Figure 1: AC-015 Controller Layout
4. 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.
5. Wire the controller according to the diagrams on the next few
pages.
6. 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.

those codes that the controller recognizes 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 remains active according to the programmed
Release Time.
In addition, it is possible to activate the Lock Strike in the
following ways:
Pressing the REX button
Entering a valid code (from an outside reader only using a
proximity code or a PIN code)
