5 Door Controller Status Indicators
5.1 ACT365-ACU
Status indicators appear on the front of the ACT365-ACU Door Controller.
The meaning of each indicator is described below.
(A) Power / System Running
This indicates that the ACT365-ACU has power.
(B) Communications
Constant illumination indicates that the ACT365-ACU is connected to the ACT365 service.
Flashing indicates that there is an issue connecting to the ACT365 service.
(C) Fault
Illuminates to indicate a fault on the system.
Possible causes are:
lTamper open: ACT365-ACU housing is not closed.
lBreak Glass: ACT365-ACU Controllers provide a method to monitor an Emergency break glass switch
via the BG/EDR input. The fault LED will illuminate if the Emergency break glass switch is activated.
lMains Fault: ACT365-ACU will accept a mains present signal from a PSU. This is wired into AC MON
input on the PCB. When the PSU has no mains supply the fault is active.
lLow Supply Voltage: When voltage to the +12/24V terminal is less than +9V.
lFuse Blown: The +12/24V output on the READER terminals is current limited to provide short circuit
protection. The Fault LED will illuminate if too much current is drawn from this connection.
lThe ACT365-ACU cannot connect to the ACT365 service.
