ACMS8K1

Kit includes: VR6 Voltage Regulator and ACMS8 Dual input Access Power Controller

Altronix VR6 Voltage Regulator converts a 24VDC input into a regulated 5VDC or 12VDC selectable output at up to 6A supply current. It reduces the cost of adding an additional power supply to achieve 24VDC and 12VDC or 5VDC simultaneously, saving valuable enclosure space. Altronix ACMS8 dual input design allows power to be steered from two (2) independent low voltage 12 or 24 VDC power sources into eight (8) independently controlled fuse protected outputs. In ACMS8, these power outputs can also be converted to dry form “C” contacts. Outputs are activated by an open collector sink, normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) dry trigger input from an Access Control System, Card Reader, Keypad, Push Button, PIR, etc. ACMS8 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. 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. The spade connectors allow you to daisy chain power to multiple ACMS8 modules. This feature allows you to distribute the power over more outputs for larger systems.
