ACM4E/ACM4CBE Installation Guide
Overview:
Altronix ACM4E and ACM4CBE Access Power Controllers convert one (1) 12 to 24 volt AC or DC input into four (4)
independently controlled fused or PTC protected outputs. These power outputs can be converted to dry form “C”
contacts (ACM4E only). Outputs are activated by an open collector sink or normally open (NO) dry trigger input from
an Access Control System, Card Reader, Keypad, Push Button, PIR, etc. The units will route power to a variety of
access control hardware devices including Mag Locks, Electric Strikes, Magnetic Door Holders, etc. Outputs will
operate in both Fail-Safe and/or Fail-Secure modes. Units are designed to be powered by one common power
source which will provide power for both the board operation and locking devices, or two (2) totally independent
power sources, one (1) providing power for board operation and the other for lock / accessory power. The FACP
Interface enables Emergency Egress, Alarm Monitoring, or may be used to trigger other auxiliary devices. The fire
alarm disconnect feature is individually selectable for any or all of the eight (8) outputs.

(0.6A @ 12 volt, 0.3A @ 24 volt current consumption with all relays energized).
• Power supply input options:
a) One (1) common power input (board and lock power).
b) Two (2) isolated power inputs (one (1) for board power and one (1) for lock/hardware power).
• Four (4) Access Control System trigger inputs:
a) Four (4) normally open (NO) inputs.
b) Four (4) open collector sink inputs.
c) Any combination of the above.
• Four (4) independently controlled outputs:
a) Four (4) Fail-Safe and/or Fail-Secure power outputs.
b) Four (4) dry form “C” 5A rated relay outputs (ACM4E only).
c) Any combination of the above (ACM4E only).
• Four (4) auxiliary power outputs (unswitched).
• Output ratings:
-
ACM4E:
Fuses are rated 3.0A each.
-
ACM4CBE:
PTCs are rated 2.5A each.
• Main fuse is rated at 10A.
Note:
Total output current is determined by the power supply, not to exceed a maximum of 10A total.
• Red LEDs indicate outputs are triggered (relays energized).
• Fire Alarm disconnect (latching or non-latching) is individually selectable for any or all of the eight (8) outputs.
Fire Alarm disconnect input options:
a) Normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) dry contact input.
b) Polarity reversal input from FACP signaling circuit.
• FACP output relay (form “C” contact rated @ 1A 28VDC, not evaluated by UL).
• Green LED indicates when FACP disconnect is triggered.
• Removable terminal blocks facilitate ease of installation.
