IP-ACM Ethernet Door Module
The IP-ACM module provides connection and management of the access control for two doors through inputs, outputs,
and reader interfaces. Supporting two readers through Power over Ethernet (PoE), the IP-ACM communicates to the
Ultra General Control Module (GCM) over TCP/IP. The IP-ACM module also has AES256 network encryption from the
unit to the GCM. The encryption settings are determined by the GCM configuration. The maximum number of IP-ACM
modules supported per GCM is 32.

■ The cables are protected by using metal or plastic conduit, or using flexible cable grip strain relief.
■ The module can be powered from either a 12V or 24V local source, PoE or PoE plus.
■ For a UL-compliant installation the power must be approved to UL-294 and/or UL-603.
■ UL testing was conducted with a product powered from UL Listed model POE36U-1AT-R injector, manufactured
by PHIHONG.
■ Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch.
NOTE ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES:
■ Observe precautions for handling.
■ Before handling any internal components, discharge static electricity by holding a grounding lug or
non-painted surface for three seconds.
■ Wear a grounding wrist strap and stand on a grounded static mat.
■ Reduce movement during installation to reduce static buildup.
■ Confirm work area is safeguarded.
■ Transport components to static-shielded containers.
■ Verify that all components, materials, and the installer are reference to a common ground.
The outsides of the ESD bags are not ESD protected.
NOTE LIFE SAFETY REQUIREMENT: A fail-safe override mechanism must be installed at each card reader
exit to allow people to leave the secure area in case of electromechanical failure.
CAUTION: Changes to the IP-ACM that are not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.
FOR BURGLAR ALARM INSTALLATIONS:
The IP-ACM is not provided with backup power. An external power supply must be provided with the
following characteristics.
■ UL 603 Listed.
■ Minimum four hours of standby power.
Tyco/Software House Advanced Power Supply (apS) used in conjunction with the IP-ACM will be
sufficient in meeting the requirement of UL 1076.
When using an external power supply, the supply shall be Class 2 and compliant with EN/IEC 62368.
All Burglar Alarm and Intrusion Zone inputs must be supervised and have Triggers configured to Alarm
upon Tamper.

NOTE Data processing equipment and office appliance and business equipment used as computer equipment
shall comply with the Standard for Information Technology Equipment - Safety - Part 1: General
Requirements, UL 60950-1.
■ The installation shall supply line transient protection complying with the Standard for Transient
Voltage Surge Suppressors, UL 1449, with a maximum marked rating of 330 V.
■ Communication circuits and network components connected to the telecommunications network
shall be protected by secondary protectors for communication circuits. These protectors shall
comply with the Standard for Secondary Protectors For Communication Circuits, UL 497A. These
protectors shall be used only in the protected side of the telecommunications network.
■ Equipment shall be installed in a temperature controlled environment. A temperature controlled
environment is defined as one that can be maintained between 13 - 35°C (55 - 95°F) by the HVAC
system. Twenty-four hours of standby power shall be provided for the HVAC system. The standby
power system for the HVAC system may be supplied by an engine driven generator alone. A
standby battery is not required to be used

Installing the Plastic Enclosure and the IP-ACM Module
To install the IP-ACM module and plastic enclosure, use the following steps:
1. Lift the enclosure cover off of the plastic IP-ACM enclosure.
2. Secure the IP-ACM enclosure to the selected wall or support surface using holes provided in the enclosure’s
molded base. Refer to Figure 1 for dimensions and hole pitch for mounting.
NOTE It is essential to use all five securing screws when mounting the plastic enclosure. Ensure that the
mounting hole at 131.1 across and 26.3 up is used as this is required for the "whole unit off the wall"
anti-tamper feature to be operational.
3. Fit and connect all customer cables. Refer to the Power and Wiring Requirements table for more information.
4. Re-fit the enclosure cover and secure the cover with two tamper-proof screws using the Software House security

1. Open the door of the IP-ACM metal enclosure.
2. Secure the enclosure to selected wall or support surface using holes provided in the enclosure’s base. Refer to
Figure 2 for dimensions and hole pitch for mounting.
3. Fit and connect all customer cables. Refer to the Power and Wiring Requirements table for more information.
4. Close and secure the metal enclosure cover.
Grounding Requirements
The grounding requirements are as follows:
■ Grounding needs to follow NEC codes or the applicable local code.
■ Ensure that the IP-ACM is properly connected to an earth ground at any of the ground studs.
■ Shielded wires should have the shields grounded to the chassis enclosure as close as possible to where the cables
are entering the enclosure.
■ When disconnecting the wiring, disconnect ground wires last, to provide maximum protection to the equipment and
personnel.
Disconnect all power sources before modifying the wiring.

1It is important to note that the aggregate load of each pair of RS-485 and Wiegand connections together must not exceed 750mA. Each set of RS-485
and Wiegand can support 750mA.
2Check wire lengths to verify that voltage drops are acceptable. Calculations are based on a single RM-4 reader with keypad and LCD (250mA). Using
22AWG, distance = 600ft. (.0165 ohms/ft.). Using 18AWG, distance = 1500ft. (.0065 ohms/ft.).
3To comply with UL requirements, use shielded, minimum 22 AWG stranded, twisted pair cable for monitor points, DSMs, and REXs. Use Belden 9462 or
equivalent.
4It is important to note that the aggregate load of each pair of RS-485 and Wiegand connections together must not exceed 750mA. Each set of RS-485
and Wiegand can support 750mA. Maximum combined output limit for readers and locks is 23W.
5Voltage depends on selection of power feed (L1 or L2). Maximum combined output limit for readers and locks is 23W.
6Compliance with IEEE 802.3 (AT or AF) specifications was not verified as part of UL294/B.
7Maximum combined output limit for readers and locks is 23W.

Environmental Requirements
The IP-ACM board has a 0 to 49°C ambient temperature rating.
This product is for indoor use only and not intended for outside wiring as covered by article 800 in the National Electrical
Code, NFPA 70.
Initial Configuration
Initial configuration of the IP-ACM can be performed in two modes: Normal Operation mode and Standalone
configuration mode.
The offline functionality of the IP-ACM allows the last 1,000 valid cards and/or a specific personnel group of no more
than 100. Refer to the C•CURE Hardware Configuration Guide for more information regarding IP-ACM Offline Mode
Configuration.
NOTE The MAC Address of the IP-ACM is located on the board.
Normal Operation Mode
1. Ensure the IP-ACM SW1-1 is OFF.
2. Apply power using the PoE (J1) or the Local Power (P1) port.
3. Push the SW3 reset switch.
4. Connect the IP-ACM board to the Ethernet port directly on a DHCP network and run the iSTAR Configuration
Utility (ICU), 6.4.0 or later, on the same subnet using an Ethernet cable.
