2.3 Sensor Device Alerts
Various sensor devices can access the ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL systems through the use of the optional
I/O Board. The board contains 4 configurable sensor inputs as well as 4 extra output relays noted in the
previous section.
Inputs can be assigned to activate Controller Outputs 1 & 2 or I/O Board Outputs 1 through 4
Note:
All I/O Inputs are unassigned to relay Outputs by factory default.
I/O Board Inputs respond to a closed switch by default but can be reconfigured to respond to an
open switch using the ACS Enterprise software application. Input circuitry will operate best using a sen-
sor having relay switching contacts.
2.4 Suspect Card Alerts (Optional)
Suspect Card is a firmware-governed feature controlled by the ACS Enterprise software application. It
features a separate BINfile to hold the numbers for up to 50 stolen or suspected credit cards, debit
cards, or similar.
When a stolen card is inserted into a Card Reader running on the ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL system, the con-
troller will compare it to the numbers on its stolen-card list. The system will identify the card as suspect,
keep the controlled door(s) locked, and the LED indicator on the Card Reader will flash red. A control-
ler cache message will be generated stating a suspect card was detected, and the card cache will
flag the card number.
The Suspect Card function can activate any combination of Output relays when the financial institu-
tion uses an Alarm Panel.

2.5 Controller Box Tamper Alert
