ACM24D: 2 Door, 4 Reader Access Control Module

Description

The ACM24D is an access controller designed to work 
within the Imperial system. It is capable of monitoring two 
doors and up to 4 readers connected on a simple 4-wire 
reader bus. The ACM24D was designed to be a complete 
stand-alone module providing uninterrupted operation 
should the rest of the system fail. The module can store and 
buffer up to 1,000 access events. The Imperial system’s 
1000 cards, 256 schedules and 256 access levels are also 
stored internally. The ACM24D provides ultra fast response 
time for access operations and is fully firmware upgradeable 
via its communication bus. In fact, other than programming 
and reporting events to the Imperial system, the ACM24D is 
a completely stand-alone module. 

With its DIN rail design, the module requires very little 
space, and is fast and easy to install. With its built-in power 
supply and battery backup, the ACM24D provides truly 
reliable and fail-proof access control management.
