Description of the AMC-4W

The AMC-4W is able to control directly up to four doors, each with one reader in one direction only or 2 doors with a reader in each direction. For this purpose the AMC-4W is equipped with four independent interfaces for Wiegand type readers.

All necessary information for access verification is stored in a battery buffered on-board memory and a Compact Flash Memory Card. This guarantees autonomous access decisions and complete access registrations even if the management host system is offline. The built in compact flash adapter provides de facto unlimited storage for cardholders and events, simply by exchanging the standard compact flash card with one with 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB or 1 GB capacity.

The AMC-4W can communicate upstream to the host computer via eight RS485 multi-dropped, RS232 or 10/100 MBit Ethernet. It has eight analog inputs eight relay outputs. With its analog input devices, the AMC-4W verifies if a lock is closed or open. The relay outputs can be used to activate lock mechanisms if access is granted, or activate an external alarm system if an intrusion or system alert is detected.
The AMC-4W provides an IP protocol stack completely developed by Bosch.
There are no third party operating systems and there is no vulnerability by viruses. The AMC-4W electronic is completely covered by a plastic housing and the LC Display gives all important status information.
The setup procedure for an AMC-4W is very simple and extremely fast due to the use of door templates. As soon as the template is selected all the inputs and outputs are defined.
Using the AMC-4W gives you the full functionality and the offline capability of a complete access control system on each room. This leads to an excellent reliability and a very high redundancy without paying extra money.
