To ensure ongoing functionality of AC62, it is recommended to check the following
interfaces every 6 months:
●Short each input to its adjacent GND port and verify that LED illuminates.
●Use multimeter to confirm expected impedance across relay outputs.
○Closed across NC and COM
○Open across NO and COM
●Use multimeter to verify correct voltage is supplied at 12V AUX outputs, 24V AUX outputs,
and reader power outputs.

Use cardboard mounting template from the previous
step to get a sense of the wall space AC62 will occupy.
Use mounting template to drill pilot holes for the mount
plate.
Use the supplied screws to install the mount plate
onto the wall. Ensure that the Verkada V is pointing
towards the floor.
The enclosure will extend down roughly 31” (~79cm),
from the top of the mount plate.
The size of the enclosure is:
31” x 20” (79 x 51 cm)
Please Note Leave at
minimum 2” clearance on the
left side of the enclosure in
order for the door to open
and close without hindrance.
Please Note The supplied screws are
intended for plywood installations.
For other wall materials, ensure proper
load-bearing fasteners are used.
Carefully slot the enclosure
onto the mount plate.
Secure the enclosure onto the
wall using the thru holes on
the enclosure.

Verkada AC62 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 AC62.
We recommend using one twisted pair for GND and VIN (power) and one twisted pair for the data (D0/D1
or A/B).
Wiring methods shall be in accordance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Required Network Settings
An Ethernet connection with DHCP must be used to connect the AC62 to the Local Area Network
(LAN). You also need to configure firewall settings to communicate with the AC62.
●TCP port 443
●UDP port 123 (NTP time synchronization)

You must use shield wiring with the AC62, particularly for the card reader:
●Connect the drain wire (bare metal) from the reader cable bundle to the drain wire in the shielded
cabling. Then, connect the drain wire at the other end of the shielded cabling to Earth ground.
●Improper grounding and shielding may result in unintended product behavior.
Shield Wiring and Grounding
Installation
Recommended Wiring
The door ports’ Form C relays can be driven dry or wet.
AC62 is rated to power 12V locks up to 1A and 24V locks
up to 500mA.
None/Dry
The AC62 does not provide power to the locking
hardware (typically used with external power supplies).
Wet
The AC62 provides 12V or 24V power to the locking
hardware.

1. Wiring Fail Secure and Fail Safe
Locking Hardware
Fail secure and fail safe are ways of
configuring locking hardware:
●Fail secure hardware locks when power is
interrupted. Usually uses NO (Normally Open
Configuration)
●Fail safe hardware unlocks when power is
interrupted. Usually uses NC (Normally
Closed configuration)
Installation
Connecting a Door 1/5
Ensure power is disconnected from the
AC62 and locking hardware before
wiring, removing or inserting readers,
locks or any other peripherals.

2a. Connect the Lock (Dry)
When using an extend power supply which uses a dry contact, ensure that
“NONE” is selected on the door power selection switch.
Fail Secure
Fail Safe
2b. Connect the Lock (Wet)
In a Wet configuration, ensure that power selection
for each door is set to the correct voltage as
outlined by the locking hardware specifications.
●Set it to “12VDC” for 12 volt locking hardware
●Set it to “24VDC” for 24 volt locking hardware
The AC62 is rated to power 12V locks up to 1A and
24V locks up to 500mA.
Fail Safe
LOCK (+) positive goes into NC
LOCK (-) negative and ground wire goes into COM
Fail Secure
LOCK (+) positive goes into NO
LOCK (-) negative and ground wire goes into COM
Installation
Connecting a Door 2/5
When connecting the lock in the WET
configuration, ensure the negative of
the lock goes into the COM port as
shown in the diagrams below.

3. Connecting the Reader
The AC62 is rated to power readers at 12V up to 250mA via the + (VIN) and – (GND) connection.
Verkada/RS-485 readers use the top 4-port inputs while Standard Wiegand readers use the bottom
6-port inputs. The drain wire of the shielded cable should be secured to the nearest AC62 chassis
ground.

With the AC62’s AUX inputs you can hook up devices such as intercoms and panic
buttons. All associated events will be logged in Command.
The AUX Inputs can be programmed in Command to initiate a lockdown or unlock a door
(or a set of doors). We will be expanding support for more auxiliary devices in the future.
Example AUX Intercom Wiring Diagram
AUX Inputs
The Verkada AC62 has two AUX input.
The AC62 expects both AUX inputs to
be NORMALLY OPEN (NO).
AUX Outputs
Additionally, the AC62 has two AUX
Form C relays. These two AUX relays
can be programmed to trigger an
output during a lockdown. This allows
you to activate a dialer, strobe light,
sounder, etc. when a lockdown is
initiated.
