Einführung
The Altronix ACM8CB is an advanced 8-output access power controller module designed to manage power distribution for various access control devices. This module efficiently converts input voltage (12 to 24 Volt AC or DC) to provide regulated output power, ensuring reliable operation of connected equipment. It is built with durable phenolic or fiberglass material, offering robust performance in demanding environments.
Hauptmerkmale
- 8-Output Power Distribution: Provides eight independently controlled power outputs for multiple devices.
- Flexible Eingangslautstärketage: Accepts 12 to 24 Volt AC or DC input.
- Geregelter Ausgang: Delivers stable 12 to 24 Volt AC or DC output.
- Langlebige Konstruktion: Made from high-quality phenolic or fiberglass material for longevity.
- UL-anerkannt: Complies with UL RECOGNIZED and UL294 standards for safety and performance.
- Kompaktes Design: Measures 8.00 In (width) x 4.50 In (length) x 1.25 In (height).
Setup und Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of the ACM8CB module. Always ensure power is disconnected before beginning any installation procedures.
- Montage: Securely mount the ACM8CB module within an appropriate enclosure, ensuring adequate ventilation. Use non-conductive standoffs if mounting directly to a metal surface.
- Stromanschluss: Connect the 12-24V AC or DC power source to the designated input terminals on the module. Observe correct polarity for DC input.
- Anschluss des Ausgabegeräts: Connect your access control devices (e.g., locks, readers, sensors) to the eight individual output terminals. Each output is clearly labeled (Output 1-8). Ensure correct wiring for each device as per its manufacturer's instructions.
- Trigger Input (Optional): If utilizing the trigger feature, connect the trigger source to the designated trigger input terminals. This allows for external control over the power outputs.
- Erdung: Ensure the module and all connected devices are properly grounded according to local electrical codes.
- Erstes Einschalten: After all connections are verified, apply power to the module. Observe the status indicators (LEDs) for proper operation.

Bedienungsanleitung
The ACM8CB module operates by distributing power to connected devices based on its configuration and trigger inputs.
- Betriebsanzeigen: The module features LED indicators (e.g., LED1-LED8) that illuminate when power is supplied to the corresponding output. A main power LED indicates overall module power status.
- Ausgabesteuerung: Power to each of the eight outputs can be individually controlled or triggered. Refer to the specific wiring diagram for your access control system to understand how the trigger input affects the outputs.
- Absicherung: Each output is protected by a fuse (e.g., F1-F8). In case of an overload or short circuit on an output, the corresponding fuse will blow, protecting the module and connected device. Replace blown fuses only with the specified type and rating.

Wartung
The Altronix ACM8CB module is designed for minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Sichtprüfung: Überprüfen Sie das Modul regelmäßig auf Anzeichen von physischen Beschädigungen, lockeren Verbindungen oder Verfärbungen.
- Staubentfernung: Ensure the module is free from excessive dust accumulation, which can impede heat dissipation. Use a soft brush or compressed air for cleaning.
- Sicherungsprüfung: If an output is not functioning, check the corresponding fuse. Replace only with fuses of the exact same type and rating as marked on the board (e.g., 2.5A/250V).
- Umgebungsbedingungen: Ensure the module is operating within its specified temperature and humidity ranges to prevent premature failure.
Fehlerbehebung
| Problem | Mögliche Ursache | Lösung |
|---|---|---|
| No power to any output. | No input power; main fuse blown; faulty power supply. | Verify input power connection and source. Check and replace the main fuse if necessary. Test the power supply. |
| Specific output not working. | Blown output fuse; short circuit on output; faulty connected device. | Check and replace the specific output fuse. Disconnect the device to check for short. Test the connected device. |
| LED indicators not illuminating. | No power; faulty LED; module malfunction. | Verify power input. If power is present and LEDs are off, contact technical support. |
| Module overheating. | Overload on outputs; insufficient ventilation; internal fault. | Reduce load on outputs. Ensure proper airflow around the module. If problem persists, contact technical support. |
