Chapter 2Alerts

2.1 Alerts Overview........................................................................................................................72.2 Card Reader Alerts ..................................................................................................................72.3 Sensor Device Alerts................................................................................................................82.4 Suspect Card Alerts (Optional) ..............................................................................................82.5 Controller Box Tamper Alert ...................................................................................................82.6 Door Override Input Alert (Optional) .....................................................................................9

2.1 Alerts Overview

The ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL controllers contain 5 types of sensor alerts:• Card Reader Alerts (Overlay/Skim, Tamper, and Cable-Cut) – hardware-generated indications of

illegal activity related to Card Reader units• Sensor Device Alerts – hardware-generated signals via external sensor devices connected to the

controller through the I/O Board (Optional)• Suspect Card Alert – firmware-generated search of a “suspected” or “stolen card” BINfile list

(Optional). Activation/deactivation of this function is controlled via the ACS Enterprise softwareapplication.

• Controller Box Tamper Alert – hardware-generated indication that the controller box has beenopened or closed via a plunger switch on the controller box (The switch is normally-open andclosed when the box is shut and locked.)

• Door Override Input Alert – hardware-generated indication (from an external fire alarm unit) thatopens the door-control relay(s) when an appropriate signal state is applied to the Door OverrideInput. The Door Override Input is Normally-Closed and jumpered by default from the factory. If thisfeature is requested, use a commercial-grade fire alarm system or smoke detector, or auxiliarycontacts from a Fire Alarm system already installed in the bank / ATM booth. When called, thedoor-control relay(s) for the Controller and optional Second Card Reader Board will be activated,all doors under relay control will be opened, and the Card Reader LED indicator will glow green.

These alerts are described in greater detail in the sections below.

2.2 Card Reader Alerts

The ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL controllers contain 3 types of Card Reader alerts:• Overlay/Skim Detector – detects skimming hardware atop the Card Reader faceplate (Overlay) or

presence of an unauthorized NFC reader in the vicinity• Tamper Detector – detects when Card Reader is removed from its collar (tamper switch or acceler-

ometer activated)• Cable-cut Detector – detects Card Reader communication failureCard Reader alerts can be assigned to activate Output 1 & 2 on the Controller and/or Output 1 through 4 on the I/O Board. All are unassigned by default.


Alerts Sensor Device Alerts

2.3 Sensor Device Alerts

Various sensor devices can access the ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL systems through the use of the optional I/O Board. The board contains 4 configurable sensor inputs as well as 4 extra output relays noted in the previous section.Inputs can be assigned to activate Controller Outputs 1 & 2 or I/O Board Outputs 1 through 4

Note: All I/O Inputs are unassigned to relay Outputs by factory default.

I/O Board Inputs respond to a closed switch by default but can be reconfigured to respond to an open switch using the ACS Enterprise software application. Input circuitry will operate best using a sen-sor having relay switching contacts.

2.4 Suspect Card Alerts (Optional)

Suspect Card is a firmware-governed feature controlled by the ACS Enterprise software application. It features a separate BINfile to hold the numbers for up to 50 stolen or suspected credit cards, debit cards, or similar.When a stolen card is inserted into a Card Reader running on the ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL system, the con-troller will compare it to the numbers on its stolen-card list. The system will identify the card as suspect, keep the controlled door(s) locked, and the LED indicator on the Card Reader will flash red. A control-ler cache message will be generated stating a suspect card was detected, and the card cache will flag the card number.The Suspect Card function can activate any combination of Output relays when the financial institu-tion uses an Alarm Panel.

2.4.1 Activating the Suspect Card function

Activation and deactivation of the Suspect Card function is performed via the ACS Enterprise Sensor Configuration screen.The installing technician is generally not obligated to load the Suspect Card BINfile, but may be responsible for the activation of this feature.To activate the Suspect Card function, follow the steps below:1. Navigate to the ACS Enterprise Site Management screen.2. Select the appropriate ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL site from the Site List.3. Select Configure > Sensor Configuration.4. Check the box marked Suspect Card to activate the feature.

2.5 Controller Box Tamper Alert

The Controller Box Tamper Alert is generated by a plunger-switch installed on a side-mounted bracket fixed to the side of the controller box. Pre-assembled and pre-wired to the ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL Con-


Door Override Input Alert (Optional) Alerts

troller at the factory, this normally-open switch is held closed when the controller box is shut and locked.

When the box is opened, the switch breaks contact and a controller-cache message is generated within ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL memory. (This can be viewed by selecting Audit Trail when ACS Enterprise is connected to the Controller, or by selecting View Reports under the Site Management screen in ACS Enterprise when not connected to the controller.)The Controller Box Tamper function can activate any combination of Output relays when the cus-tomer requires an Alarm Panel indication.

2.6 Door Override Input Alert (Optional)

The Door Override Input Alert is generated when the Normally-Closed Door Override Input is opened.When this function is called, the Door-Control relay(s) for both the Controller and optional Second Card Reader Board will be activated and all doors under relay control will be opened. The Card Reader LED indicator will simultaneously glow green.The Door Override Input is inactive with a wire-jumper from the factory by default.

Note: If the Door Control relays appear active and remain active during initial startup tests, check the factory-installed jumper connection.

Chapter 3ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL Installation

Follow these instructions to begin installing your ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL controller.This chapter includes:3.1 Controller Box Installation....................................................................................................... 113.2 Card Reader Installation.........................................................................................................133.3 Electrical Installation ...............................................................................................................203.4 System Wiring Diagrams .........................................................................................................29

3.1 Controller Box Installation

3.1.1 Secure Controller Location

The ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL Controller should be mounted in a secure yet accessible area, preferably with a lockable door. Close proximity to the Card Readers is also recommended for easier cabling.

Examples of desirable mounting locations include:• ATM service room (behind the ATM front controller)• Secure network server room• Above a hung ceiling in a front office or service closet near the Card Reader locations.Examples of undesirable mounting locations include:• Near hot water pipes and steam conduits requiring occasional inspection and servicing• Near noise-generating devices. Stay away from electric motors, unshielded computer systems,

and unshielded wire lines carrying high-amplitude radio or digital data signals.• Any area that would place a technician in physical danger

3.1.2 Secure Power Source

ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL systems require a secure, steady power source to operate properly. The follow-ing requirements must be met for a proper installation:• 100-125 VAC 50-60 Hz wall socket within 5 feet of the Controller Box for the Controller Power Supply,

and at least one additional power supply to handle an electrically-operated door-lock.


ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL Installation Controller Box Installation

• AC power sources properly sourced to an approved AC electrical utility box with an appropriatefuse (or cut-out) having a rating of at least 5 amps or more for the wire lines used.

• For above-ceiling and other installations lacking nearby power, the client must enlist alocally-licensed electrician to install the appropriate wiring extensions, terminal boxes, andwall-socket hardware that will meet the local, standard fire codes.

• For states and cities with Low Voltage Electrical requirements, the client must enlist a licensed LowVoltage Installer to run the power supply wires and control-cabling for the Controller’s door-locksand switches. This ensures that the installation will meet all local fire codes.

• Use of a Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is highly recommended

CAUTION: An ESD strap must be worn at all times when installing or servicing an ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL controller.

3.1.2.1 200-240 VAC Power LocationsFor areas using 200-240 VAC 50-60Hz services, make sure the following conditions are met before start-ing any ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL installations:• Check the label on the controller power supply to ensure it will operate properly on the 200-240

VAC service. The controller power supply uses a switching-mode regulator with a wide range of ACinput voltages (usually 100-240 VAC). However, not all power supplies vended by Parabit Systemswill automatically handle the higher voltage.

For power supplies handling door-locks and similar items, check the product paperwork for the correct adjustments that allow them to safely operate on 200-240 VAC.• Ensure the appropriate plug-converters are in place to safely connect to the 200-240 VAC socket

hardware.• Enlist locally licensed electricians when necessary, as all ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL installations should

adhere to local electrical and fire safety codes.

3.1.3 Mounting the Controller Box and Routing Wires

The ACS-1E Controller box contains 4 mounting holes to secure the box to a wall or controller and 5 knock-out holes for routing wires into the box from the top controller, the right-hand side controller and rear controller.

Before mounting the controller box, establish which input and output terminations on the circuit boards will be used. If you are using a Second Reader Board (optional) or I/O Board (optional), deter-


Card Reader Installation ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL Installation

mine how the wires will be routed around the circuit boards and remove the appropriate knock-outs from the wiring holes.

3.1.4 Additional Wiring Suggestions

3.1.4.1 Mounting on Hollow Walls & controllersIf wires can be routed through the walls to the controller box, consider the following suggestions:1. If the walls or controllers at the mounting space are thin and/or soft, mount a ½” to ¾” thick ply-

woodboard behind the Controller box to add rigidity. Use appropriate fasteners between theboard and the wall to set up the plywood mounting base.

2. Temporarily mount the Controller box by using the upper two mounting holes (upside downkey-hole shaped mounting holes) and mark off the already-prepared wiring holes on the rear con-troller of the box.

3. Remove the Controller box and cut out the marked wiring hole points on the plywood.4. Remount the Controller box and complete the step by fastening the box using all four corner

mounting holes.

3.1.4.2 Mounting on Solid WallsIf wires cannot be routed through the walls to the controller box, you may want to consider the follow-ing suggestions:1. If the walls are thick and can handle stud-anchor inserts, mount a ¾” plywood board first, using

stud-anchors to hold the board in place. Make sure the plywood board is larger than the controllerwall-footprint and the stud-anchors are beyond the controller base-profile. (You may have to markoff the stud-anchor positions and insert the stud-anchors prior to drilling and mounting the plywoodboard.)

2. Mount the ACS-1E controller box on the plywood board using 3/4” wood screws. (You may alsoadd flat washers to keep the wood screws from penetrating the plywood to the wall surface.)

3. Wires and cables may be neatly run across the wall to the box using wire tracks and track covers.Narrow aluminum wire conduits can also be used.

4. Wires and sheathed cables can be inserted into the controller box using the wiring holes on the topand side controllers of the box. As with all mounting and wire-routing methods, consult with yourcertified low voltage installer or licensed electrician to make sure the results meet local fire andsafety codes.

3.2 Card Reader Installation

Two types of Card Readers are commonly installed with ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL controllers:• Insert Track 2 Magnetic Stripe Card Readers (IMSR) with SkimGard Technology• Multi Media Readers (MMR) and Multi Media Readers - Beacon Technology (MMR-BT)

3.2.1 IMSR with SkimGardTM Technology

IMSR Card Readers contain raised sections on the faceplate, which provide a mechanically difficult area to install skimming devices. When an object is placed over the card slot (for a designated time interval), an input will be activated on an existing alarm system.


ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL Installation Card Reader Installation

The IMSR faceplate has a critical boundary, as noted in the “IMSR, MMR and MMR-BT Install Diagrams” on page 17. When the Card Reader is inserted in a mounting collar or a mounting box, no object around the installation should be present beyond this critical boundary or the skim detector will gener-ate an alert.

Note the IMSR install recommendations displayed in the diagram below.



3.2.2 MMR and MMR-BT

The MMR and MMR-BT use Near Field Communication (NFC) to read contactless EMV cards and mobile devices as well as magnetic stripe cards. The MMR-BT integrates Beacon Technology to offer additional features. The Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Beacon periodically transmits an ID number that can be recognized by mobile devices with Blue-tooth enabled. Using a Parabit Software Development Kit, customers can trigger actions including access control, extended time, and other features.

3.2.2.1 MMR Power Booster Module Installation (ACS-1E ONLY)A power booster module (shown below) must be installed in the ACS-1E controller to provide required DC voltage for the MMR.



Follow the directions below to install the MMR Power Booster module onto the ACS-1E Controller and/or Second Card Reader Board.1. Turn off the ACS-1E controller and remove the power supply leads.2. Remove all RS 485 and Buzzer wires connected to the ACS-1E’s Card Reader Interface. Note the

arrangement of the RS 485 and Buzzer wires for subsequent re-attachment to the Power Booster.3. Insert the Power Booster header pins into the ACS-1E’s Card Reader terminal block interface and

fasten the terminal block’s screw.

4. Insert all RS 485 and Buzzer wires into the Power Booster 6 terminal block interface (while maintain-ing the previous wire arrangement), and fasten the terminal block’s screw.

Note: The original RS 485 and Buzzer wire color arrangement are displayed in the photo below.

5. Strip the end of the Power Booster 20 inch red wire and join (twist) it with the positive lead of thepower supply.

6. Insert the joint cables into the corresponding positive cavity of the ACS-1E’s power supply terminalblock and fasten the corresponding terminal block’s screw.



7. Insert the power supply’s negative lead into the corresponding negative cavity of the ACS-1E con-troller’s power supply terminal block and fasten the corresponding terminal block’s screw.

8. Turn on the ACS-1E switch and continue with additional installation procedures.

Note: The power supply for the ACS-1E is 9V.

WARNING: THE MMR POWER BOOSTER IS ONLY USED IN THE ACS-1E CONTROLLER AND SHOULD NEVER BE INSTALLED IN AN ACS-1EUL CONTROLLER.

3.2.3 IMSR, MMR and MMR-BT Install Diagrams

The drawings on the next 2 pages contain basic installation examples to assist with proper placement of the ISMR, MMR and MMR-BT Card Readers.



Note: Although the diagrams reference SkimGard (IMSR) readers, these diagrams should be used for MMR and MMR-BT installs, as well.


ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL Installation Electrical Installation

3.3 Electrical Installation

3.3.1 ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL Wiring

The wiring for the ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL systems, including all of the input and output termination points, is shown in the diagrams on the following pages. A version of the complete ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL diagram is also present on the back of the front cover of the ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL controller box. Take care to wire all ends (Card Reader, circuit boards, door locks and additional power sources) cor-rectly and to label the sheathed cables for input devices (Card Readers, exit switches, door-sense switches, sensor devices) and output devices (electrical door locks, alarm controllers, etc.). Be sure to make a list of the terminal functions the colored wires are assigned.

3.3.1.1 Wiring the Card Readers and Basic Input DevicesThe basic input wiring for the ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL Card Readers and Input devices are shown in the diagrams below.


Electrical Installation ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL Installation

Note: Although the diagrams reference SkimGardTM/ IMSR readers, these diagrams should be used for MMR and MMR-BT installs, as well.

Note: The wiring diagram below applies to both the ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL.



3.3.1.1 ACS-1E Card Reader and Input Device WiringThe other end of the sheathed cable and its connection to various ACS-1E input devices is shown below.

The wiring configuration for the Second Card Reader board is similar to that of the Controller.



ACS-1E System with Input & Output Sockets and Terminations



3.3.1.2 ACS-1EUL Card Reader and Input Device WiringThe other end of the sheathed cable and its connection to various ACS-1EUL input devices is shown below.

The wiring configuration for the Second Card Reader board is similar to that of the Controller.



ACS-1EUL System with Input & Output Sockets and Terminations



3.3.1.3 Wiring the Optional I/O Board InputsThe I/O Board has 4 input ports that are automatically scanned by the main processor when this option is connected to the ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL Controller. By default, the inputs are unassigned to relay output control and must be assigned and configured using the ACS Enterprise program. The processor will note any switching state change at these 4 inputs and generate a time and date-stamped controller cache message. This message is then written to the audit trail record, even when a relay response is not assigned. The input ports are open by default, and can be reconfigured to closed using the ACS Enterprise program (see “Sensor Device Alerts” on page 8 for additional infor-mation).

Examples of Sensors and Devices for the I/O InputsThe following security devices shown below can be used with the I/O input array.

• Each input socket pair has a COM and INPUT termination. Make sure that each input device, if ithas a similar output configuration (COM, SIGNAL OUTPUT), is connected properly. (Example:Device COM - I/O Input COM, Device Signal OUTPUT - I/O INPUT)

• I/O Board Inputs operate best from mechanical output contacts (dry contacts).

3.3.1.4 Wiring the Door Control and Additional OutputsThe ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL can support one door (or two doors with the same schedule) when the Controller is installed alone, and two independent door locks when the Second Card Reader option is installed.Controller Outputs The Door Control Relay is double-pole / double-throw. The relay on the Second Card Reader Board is similar.



Alarm panel input signals are supported from the Controller via Output 1 and Output 2 when the I/O Board option is not used. When the I/O Board option is installed, 4 additional outputs can be config-ured and assigned.Outputs 1 & 2 can be accessed from the Controller, the Second Card Reader Board, or the I/O Relay inputs when configured through ACS Enterprise.The diagram below shows the 3 output ports on the ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL.

The Magnetic Lock and the Door Strike shown are the two most common devices used with the ACS-1E and ACS-1EUL Controller System. The Magnetic Lock remains active when the controlled door is locked while the Door Strike remains inactive until a request for entry is received.The following table shows what Output Relay contacts should be chosen for both the Door Control and Alarm controllers.TABLE 3–1. ACS -1E and ACS-1EUL Controller Output Control and Indication

WARNING: DO NOT ROUTE SIGNAL WIRES (CARD READER, EGRESS, DOOR SENSE) AND DOOR CONTROL POWER WIRES WITHIN THE SAME SHEATHED CABLE

Second Card Reader Door ControlThe Second Card Reader Board contains a second Door Control Output similar to Door Control on the Controller. The Door Control Relay is double-pole/double-throw.

Output Function Hardware Type Output Location Relay Contacts

Door Control Magnetic Lock Door Control Output COM1, NC1 or COM2, NC2

Door Control Door Strike Door Control Output COM1, NO1 or COM2, NO2

Alarm controller N/A Output 1, Output 2 **See note below

**For alarm controllers, connect up to three wires in a sheath to either Output 1, Output 2 (or both) and label and leave the other ends of the wires at the alarm controller connection point. Security firm technicians can then connect the wires to the alarm controller.

ACS-1E Controller Output Ports ACS-1EUL Controller Output Ports



The figure below shows the Door Control Output interface. Like the Door Control Output of the Con-troller, it can access the same electrical locking devices with the same relay contacts (see the Table 3–1 on page 27).

I/O Board OutputsThe I/O Board Outputs are identical in nature to Outputs 1 & 2 on the ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL Controller and can be used to signal additional alarm controller inputs, operate automatic door openers, or activate security cameras.The following diagram shows the I/O Output section of the I/O Board. Each 3-circuit output termina-tion is clearly labeled as to its relay contact designation (COM, NO, NC) and all associated relays can be assigned to a particular ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL input signal, Card Reader alert, Box Tamper, or Sus-pect Card alert.

4.1 Post-Installation Checks

Once the ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL Controller has been installed and its card readers, door locks, and other output devices are in place, the system’s functionality must be thoroughly tested.

4.1.1 Default Settings

Each Controller leaves the Parabit factory after passing a full set of operational tests. Any test configu-rations are then removed and the controller is returned to its default configuration.During testing, the Card Reader(s) are mated to the ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL Controller (and Second Card Reader Board) and checked for operation before boards and readers are separated and packed for shipping. In order to check the initial operation of the ACS-1E Controller, the installer should know the default settings, which are listed in the table below.

4.1.3 Preliminary Electrical Checks

1. Prior to connecting the ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL DC power supply, make sure the door-lock power sup-plies are connected to their respective locking devices.

2. The electrical locking devices can be tested prior to turning on the controller by doing the follow-ing:a. Connect their respective power supplies to their intended AC source. If necessary, make sure

the power supplies are correctly adjusted for their AC voltage sources and apply powerb. Temporarily remove the control wires from the Door Control Output(s)c. Open and short the respective wire-lines going to the Magnetic-Bar Locks (normally active)

and Door Strikes (normally inactive) to check their ability to lock and unlock the respective doorhardware.

d. Reconnect the control wires back to their socket terminals on the Door Control Output(s)

3. Prior to connecting the power supply, make sure the Controller power switch is toggled to “OFF.”Then, do the following:a. Insert the ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL power supply into its intended AC power socket. Be sure not to

short the supply wire ends.b. With a digital multi meter (DMM), select the appropriate DC voltage range and connect the

DMM leads across the power supply wires. Check to see that the RED (+) polarity sleeve is onthe correct wire and make sure the power supply Outputs a DC voltage between 9 and 12volts for the ACS-1E and between 12 and 15 volts for the ACS-1EUL.

c. Disconnect the ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL power supply from its AC source and connect each DCOutput wire to the appropriate socket on the GREEN terminal block at the lower right-hand cor-ner of the Controller. Once complete, reconnect the power supply to its AC source.

4.2.6 Additional Test Procedures for the MMR Card Reader

Field technicians installing the MMR system should possess a smartphone with a digital wallet installed containing one active credit card.When planning to perform an MMR skim test, a device that operates as an NFC reader is required. Begin by turning on the ACS-1E or ACS-1EUL controller and performing MMR System Configuration. (Assistance from an administrator may be required.)Then, if the MMR reader is newly installed or replaced, perform the serial match operation by shorting the JP6 pins.



Complete the following tests to confirm the normal operation of the MMR system.



4.2.7 Additional Feature Tests


Troubleshooting Post-Installation Checks and Testing

4.3 Troubleshooting

Listed below are common service problems and corresponding troubleshooting actions for each issue.1. Is the Card Reader reading cards?

• If no, what color is the LED on the reader?• Solid red = lock out mode; will not accept any cards• Solid amber = card accept mode (see below)• Green = on schedule; open

• If the reader is amber and not reading cards, remove and wire the reader directly to the con-troller and test.• If the reader works at the controller, check your wires at the front and tone out cable for

continuity• If the reader does not work at the controller, replace reader• If you swipe the reader and reader works but door does not open, ensure the reader is wired

to the correct relay at the board. If it is, make sure power is being sent to door lockingdevices.

2. What type of door hardware is installed?• Maglocks

• Make sure there is power going to the magnet• Check the magnet board for any corrosion (water damage)• Check the magnet board for any pieces of metal on the board that may short it• Make sure the cables are wired correctly (polarity sensitive)

• Door Strike• Make sure the door strike is installed correctly and free of obstruction (verify that the latch is

not hitting the storefront)• Make sure the cables are connected securely (most strikes are not polarity sensitive)• Are any override key switches installed? (Maglock doors ONLY)• Check to see if the strike is fail secure or fail safe (differs when wired at the ACS controller)

3. Are any override key switches installed? (Maglock doors ONLY)• If yes, check the key switch position (should be closed). Make sure all cables are properly termi-

nated at the switch. If more than one key switch is installed, verify series between them is cor-rect.

4. Is an exit button installed?• If yes, make sure the back of the exit button is wired correctly and confirm no physical damage

to the exit button. Tone out the exit button to verify continuity.
