1 Introduction
An access control system provides a means to replace traditional key and lock systems, which are easy to
defeat because of the ease of copying of keys and use by unauthorized personnel. With electronic access
control, the exact areas a person is able to access as well as during what time is configurable through a
central control system. In addition to the power of greater control, a historical record is maintained which is
useful in the case of a system security breach or for other purposes including calculating work time and
facility use costing.
1.1 Overview
The AIM-4SL Downloadable Reader Interface module provides complete connectivity for four card readers
and door hardware as well as additional alarm inputs and outputs. The AIM-4SL works in conjunction with
the AAN and AAM series controllers to form a distributed processing network providing access control,
integrated alarm monitoring and remote device control and reaction. Typical use of the system is the control
of site access by control of door locking devices associated with card readers and PIN keypads and
maintaining logs of this access for later reporting. Many levels of further integration with building alarm and
monitoring systems, time and attendance systems, and video surveillance systems are also possible.
The AIM-4SL provides interface connections for a variety of card reader technologies, including
proximity, biometric, bar code, and infrared readers. Any card reader with standard Wiegand or mag stripe
output can be connected to the AIM-4SL. Provided for each of the four readers are exit push button, door
contact and other general purpose inputs as well as are on-board strike relay and an additional general
purpose relay outputs. The AIM-4SL communicates with the AAN/AAM controllers to process card reads and
alarm input activation. A downloadable card database of up to 20,000 cardholders and storage of up to 7000
events allows the AIM-4SL to work independently after initial programming.

1.3 Modes Of Operation
To establish operating configuration, the AIM-4SL interface requires connection to an AAN or AAM controller
which is programmed via a software database interface program. Configuration options including
cardholders are stored in a central database and then transmitted via a proprietary encrypted protocol to the
AAN/AAM controller. Once programmed, the AAN/AAM controller will communicate to the AIM-4SL interface
to upload configuration the following configuration information:
· Card Reader Data Output Format: Wiegand or Mag Stripe
· Strike Time—The time duration that the strike relay will be energized for in the case of an access grant
· Held Open Time—After an access grant and a subsequent opening of the door contact, the time in which
the door contact must be closed before an alarm state is reported
· Initial Reader Mode—The access mode in which the reader will function upon powering up or when
communication has been interrupted with the AAN/AMM controller. The following modes are supported:
o
Card Only—An access request is made by presenting a card to the reader. The data is verified against
the AIM-4SL database to ensure that the card has a valid Facility Code and Card Number.
