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
With the AC62, you must use shield wiring:
• Connect the drain (bare metal) wire from the reader to the drain (bare metal) wire in the shielded cabling.
Then, connect the drain wire in the cabling to Earth ground.
• The other end of the drain wire shouldn’t be connected to anything.
An Ethernet connection with DHCP must be used to connect the AC62 to the Local Area Network (LAN).
You also need to congure rewall settings to communicate with the AC62.
• TCP port 443
• UDP port 123 (NTP time synchronization)

Connecting a Door
Installation
Ensure power is disconnected from the AC62 and locking hardware before wiring, removing or inserting
cassettes, readers, locks or any other peripherals.
Warning
The AC62 comes equipped with a Form C relay that can be driven dry or wet. AC41 is rated to power 12V locks
up to 1A and 24V locks up to 500mA.
1. Wiring Fail Secure and Fail Safe Locking
Hardware
Fail secure and fail safe are ways of conguring
locking hardware:
• Fail secure hardware locks when power is
interrupted. Usually uses NO (Normally Open
Conguration)
• Fail safe hardware unlocks when power is
interrupted. Usually uses NC (Normally Closed
conguration)
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.

Connecting a Door
Installation
3a. 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.
3b. Connect the Lock (Wet)
In a Wet conguration, ensure that power selection
for each door is set to the correct voltage as
outlined by the locking hardware specications.
• 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
When connecting the lock in the WET
conguration, ensure the negative of the
lock goes into the COM port as shown in the
diagrams below.

4. Connecting the Reader
The AC62 is rated to power readers at 12V up to 250mA via the + (VIN) and – (GND) connection. Verkada
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 secure to the nearest AC62 chassis ground.

Installation
5. 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 congured in Verkada Command.
The REX can be congured to release the lock in Verkada command; most commonly seen in electromagnetic
locks. The REX unlock time can also be congured.
Door Position Indicator
Verkada AC62 expects the DPI to be
NORMALLY CLOSED (NC).
Request-to-Exit (REX)
Verkada AC62 expects the REX to be
NORMALLY OPEN (NO).

Installation
6a. Wiring the REX With the Door Strike
For safety-related applications, wire the REX in parallel with the Door Strike. You can wire additional REX
switches and sensors to the door cassette if needed.
6b. Wiring the REX With an Electromagnetic Lock
For safety-related applications, wire the REX directly to the mag lock. You can wire additional REX switches
and sensors to the door cassette if needed.

AUX Setup
Installation
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 during a lockdown. This
allows you to wire in a dialer, strobe
light, sounder, etc. to activate when
a lockdown is initiated.
With the AC62’s AUX inputs you can hook up devices such as intercoms and 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.

FAI Set up
Installation
Normally Closed Input
A normally closed re alarm input from an FACP
should be wired across FAI- and FAI_P. A jumper
wire must be connected across FAI+ and FAI_P.
When the contact is open, this activates the FAI
in the AC62 which disables 12V/24V power to all
16 relay outputs.
Normally Open Input
A normally open re alarm input from an FACP
should be wired across FAI+ and FAI-. When the
contact is closed, this activates the FAI in the
AC62 which disables 12V/24V power to all 16
relay outputs.

FAI Set up
Installation
Latching
An optional latching input from the FACP may be connected in a normally closed conguration across L and L.
When latching is enabled, FAI is active; it will remain active until reset. A reset is achieved if FAI is deactivated
and the latching input is temporarily open.
Daisy Chaning
Two AC62 FAI may be daisy chained. The FAI and latching states from the
primary AC62 will be repeated in the secondary (daisy chained) unit.
