Altronix ACM8E 8-Output Fused Relay Access Controller

Altronix ACM8E 8-Output Fused Relay Access Controller

The Altronix ACM8E is a multi-output access power controller that converts a single 12 to 24 VAC or VDC input into eight independently controlled fuse-protected outputs. The ACM8E routes power to access control hardware such as mag locks, electric strikes, and magnetic door holders, with outputs supporting both Fail-Safe and Fail-Secure operation modes. This unit accepts trigger inputs from access control systems, card readers, keypads, push buttons, and PIR sensors.

Key Features

• Eight independently controlled outputs with individual 3.5A/250V fuses
• Configurable as 2.5A power outputs or 5A-rated dry form "C" relay outputs
• Support for eight normally open (NO) or open collector sink trigger inputs in any combination
• Dual power input option: single source for board and lock power, or isolated inputs for each
• Fire alarm disconnect feature individually selectable per output
• FACP interface for emergency egress and alarm monitoring
• LED supervision: red indicates relay energized, green indicates FACP disconnect triggered
• UL Listed per UL294 Access Control standards

Applications

• Multi-door access control systems requiring centralized power distribution
• Integration with fire alarm control panels for emergency egress scenarios
