Altronix ACM8 8-Output Access Power Controller

Altronix ACM8 Access Power Controller, 8 Fused Relay Outputs, FAI, Board

Overview

The Altronix ACM8 is a multi-output access power controller that converts a single 12 to 24 volt AC or DC input into eight independently controlled fuse-protected outputs. Power outputs can be converted to dry form "C" contacts. The unit is designed to route power to access control hardware including mag locks, electric strikes, and magnetic door holders. It supports both Fail-Safe and Fail-Secure modes and includes a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) interface for emergency egress, alarm monitoring, or triggering auxiliary devices. Fire alarm disconnect is individually selectable per output.
