Verkada AC41 is capable of supporting Verkada Readers over RS-485 and standard wiegand
readers. The following diagram shows the wire types that are recommended for use with the
Verkada AC41.
We recommend using one twisted pair for GND and VIN (power) and one twisted pair for the data (D0/D1 or A/B).
Shield Wiring
With the AC41, you must use shield wiring:
• Connect one end of the drain wire into the GND input of the AC41 cassette.
• The drain wire and the GND wire should simultaneously share the COM [Common] port on the cassette.
• The other end of the drain wire shouldn’t be connected to anything.
Recommended Wiring

and away from the main enclosure.
This section takes you through how to mount the AC41.
Install the Mount
Drill four 5/16” Ø holes into the wall.
Insert the drywall anchors into the
holes. Fasten the mount plate onto
the wall by installing the mounting
screws into the wall anchors.
Drill four 5/32” Ø holes into the wall.
Fasten the mount plate onto the wall

Fail secure and fail safe are ways of conguring
locking hardware:
•Fail secure hardware locks when power is
interrupted. Usually uses NO (Normally Open
Conguration)
•Fail safe hardware unlocks when power
is interrupted. Usually uses NC (Normally
Closed conguration)
This section takes you through how to connect a door to your AC41.
The AC41 comes equipped with a Form C relay that can be driven dry or wet. AC41 is rated to power 12V locks up to
700mA and 24V locks up to 350mA.

Keep in mind that some door strikes can be wired as
fail safe and some electromagnetic locks can be fail
secure; always check your third-party locking hard-
ware wiring instructions and ensure you’re using the
right conguration for your requirements.

Fail Safe
• LOCK (+) positive goes into NC
• LOCK (-) negative and ground wire goes into COM
Fail Safe
Fail Secure
• LOCK (+) positive goes into NO
• LOCK (-) negative and ground wire goes into COM
Fail Secure
Connect the Lock (Wet)
In a Wet conguration, ensure that power selection
for each door is set to the correct voltage as outlined
by the locking hardware specications.
• Set it to “12VDC” for 12 Volt locking hardware
• Set it to “24VDC” for 24 Volt locking hardware
The AC41 is rated to power 12V locks up to 700mA
and 24V locks up to 350mA.
WARNING!
When connecting the lock in the Wet
conguration, ensure the negative of the
lock goes into the COM port as shown in
the diagrams below.

Verkada AD31 Reader Standard Wiegand Reader
Door Position Indicator
Verkada AC41 expects the DPI to be NORMALLY
CLOSED (NC).
Request-to-Exit (REX)
Verkada AC41 expects the REX to be NORMALLY
OPEN (NO).
Connecting a Reader
INSTALLATION
The REX can be congured to release the lock in Verkada command; most commonly seen in electromagnetic
locks. The REX unlock time can also be congured.
Connecting the Inputs
Both the DPI (Door Position Indicator) and the Request-to-Exit (REX) inputs are dry contacts. Installing these
inputs is optional. They can be congured in Verkada Command. Both of these inputs are optional.
Connecting the Reader
The AC41 is rated to power readers at 12V up to 250mA via the + (VIN) and – (GND) connection. Verkada
readers use the far left 4-port inputs while Standard Wiegand readers use the middle 6-port inputs.
