Input Power

Use a 16-24V

AC

 (50/60 Hz) 

transformer with minimum 
75VA. as shown in the 
connection diagram. Do not 
use switch-controlled outlets 
to power the transformer. It 
is possible for modules to 
share a central 

AC

 supply 

(16 to 24 V

AC

)

 throughout 

the system.

Backup Battery

To power the module’s door lock relay during a power failure, connect a 
12Vdc (minimum capacity of 7Ah) rechargeable acid/lead or gel cell 
backup battery as shown in the connection diagram. Apply AC power 
before connecting the battery.
Use supplied cable. If using custom wiring, add a fuse near the battery.
Battery charge current: 350mA/500mA (configurable in BabyWare).

Jumper Settings (J2)

When the J2 jumper is ON, internal 
power is fed to 

COM

 of both relays (up 

to 2A at 12V). If using external power, 
remove the J2 jumper and supply 
power to the 

COM

 input (see below).

Remove J2 jumper before 
supplying external power.

Readers

Each ACM24D on a V32 can be assigned with up to 4 readers / 2 
per door (EVO/DGP - 2 readers / 1 per door). The ACM24D 
supports R910 (V2.0 or higher) and/or R915 (any version) 4-wire 
card readers (up to 500mA). Readers 3 and 4 are optional and 
can be used as passback or SAS readers (one man trap, two-door 
access).
Readers are assigned to the ACM24D in BabyWare (Imperial) or 
WinLoad/keypad assignment (EVO/DGP).

Reader LED

Orange slow flash = reader start up / too many readers on module
Orange fast flash = reader not assigned
Red on = reader is assigned to a door

Connecting an External Trigger

The external negative trigger can also be activated using a 
push button. When the push button is pressed, the door will 
unlock. The PGM or push button must ground the negative 
trigger. 

Energy Saving Feature

When door locks are activated, voltage increases*. When 
the activation period expires*, the ACM24D will go into 
power saving mode and voltage will be reduced*. 
This feature is only available when using internal power (J2 
on).
* These settings are configurable with BabyWare software.
