PRE-INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

Before you begin installing the Brivo control panel, perform the following tasks to ensure a safe, speedy, and successful installation.
Understand the function of the Brivo ACS300 control panel (A/E).

The ACS300-E and ACS300-A are one or two (2) reader control panels with multiple access points. This control panel is considered a standalone system. The control board has up to two (2) readers on board. The Brivo ACS300-E uses an on-board Ethernet interface to communicate via any TCP/IP networking technology that can be connected through a hub, router or switch, including Wi-Fi and satellite communications. It is an IP-enabled Access Control System that interacts with the Brivo Onair cloud server via the Internet application Brivo Onair. The Brivo ACS300-A is identical to the ACS300-E except that the ACS300-A communicates to a Brivo Onsite Server instead of the Brivo Onair cloud server.

Understand Brivo ACS300 product compatibility.

The ACS300 control panel is compatible with a large number of standard reader models including the following (UL tested for compatibility) reader models: HID600, Identiv 8110, HID RPK40, Allegion MTK15, AWID KP-6840, and OSDP reader 921PTPTEK00385. Brivo products are designed to accommodate the latest updates in Wiegand and OSDP using RS-485 reader formats. The ACS300 control board is compatible with Wiegand devices that transmit up to 255-bit data and OSDP readers using RS-485. A current list of compatible readers and keypads is maintained on Brivo’s website at http://www.brivo.com. If you have a specific model of reader or keypad that is not listed on the Brivo website, please contact Technical Support at 1-866-BRIVO-4-U to determine compatibility.

Verify that the client site is ready to support the installation.

  1. Check with the IT department to ensure that the ACS300 version to be installed is compatible with the company’s local area network (LAN).
    • The ACS300 is equipped with a standard RJ-45 socket that accepts a CAT5 or CAT6 cable with an RJ-45 plug on any 10/100 Ethernet network. Physically connecting the panel is the same as plugging any computer or other device into the LAN.
    • Refer to the Panel Networking Admin Interface Guide for instructions on connecting to the LAN. The Panel Networking Admin Interface Guide also contains a complete list of requirements regarding TCP/IP configuration parameters and information about security considerations.
  2. Download the corresponding Quick Start Guide from the Brivo website and provide it to the Master Administrator. This document provides instructions for registering and configuring the control panel in the appropriate application.
  3. For Brivo Onair accounts, make sure the account has been created and the control panel is registered through Brivo Onair. If the control panel has not been registered by the dealer, the installer may either contact Brivo Technical Support for assistance or simply register the panel directly.
  4. Verify that the Master Administrator and any other employee who will be accessing the system have Internet access on a computer equipped with a supported Web browser.

Verify shipping contents.

  1. Locate and check the contents of the Control Panel kit.
    • The ACS300 kit should contain the following parts:

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

Connect a laptop to the ACS300 Administrative Interface Port

  1. Connect a laptop to the Administrative Interface port on the ACS300 using a standard Ethernet cable or a patch cable.
    • The Administrative Interface port is a 10/100 Ethernet interface with RJ45 jack for connecting the ACS300 to a laptop or PC to gain access to the local administrative interface for debug and manual configuration utilities.
    • The port uses auto-sensing technology to determine polarity, which permits either a straight or crossover cable to be used between the board and the computer.

NOTE: If using two OSDP RS-485 readers on the RS-485 bus, the OSDP addresses for each reader must be different. To accomplish this, the installer must do one of two things.

  • Use the tools provided by the reader manufacturer to change the OSDP address on one of the two OSDP readers.
  • Use the local administrative interface (WebCLI) on the ACS300 to change the OSDP address on one of the new OSDP readers.

For instructions on connecting to the local administrative interface and configuring the OSDP reader(s), please refer to the Panel Networking Admin Interface Guide (available at www.brivo.com).

Verify the connection of the LAN to the ACS300 (this should already have been done when powering up the ACS300 using Power over Ethernet)

  1. Verify the connection of the LAN to the ACS300 according to the instructions in the Panel Networking Admin Interface Guide.
    • The LAN port is a 10/100 Ethernet interface with an RJ45 jack for connecting the MAIN BOARD to a Local Area Network in order for it to gain connectivity to the Internet.
    • Use a straight, (i.e., non-crossover) cable to connect this port to a local hub, switch or router.

Wire Doors

Provided below is a diagram recommending how to appropriately run wiring within the ACS300 unit.

NOTE: Wiring should not be run underneath the mylar shield, only above it.

  • Four (4) dry contacts are 28VDC, 6A each
  • One (1) RS-485 port, 11.4 – 12VDC, 350mA
  1. Wire the REX & DOOR terminal block.

    • Connect the Normally Open (NO) contacts of the REX device to the REX and COM terminals.
    • When this switch closes, it initiates a Request-to-Exit (REX) program sequence, as defined by the appropriate application, including the option to activate the door or other relays, fire the door strike, and suppress any “Door Forced” messages.
    • Connect the Normally Closed (NC) contacts of the Door Sensor to the COM and CONTACT terminals.
    • In this context, an NC switch is considered closed when the door is closed (magnet is present), and open when the door is open (no magnet is present).
    • When the switch is open, the control panel interprets this input as a “Door Open” condition. When the switch is closed, the control panel interprets this input as a “Door Closed” condition.
    • This circuit provides door status information (open/closed) to the control panel so ACS Online can take appropriate action locally, or send email notifications if necessary.
  2. Wire the DOOR LOCK RELAY terminal block.

    • Connect the door latch to the COM terminal and either the NO or NC terminal.
    • The DOOR LOCK RELAY provides both NO (Normally Open) and NC (Normally Closed) contacts, and is driven in response to the presentation of valid credentials or the programmable REX input.
    • Timing and other aspects of relay activation are programmed through the Brivo programming interface.
  3. If used for an alarm shunt, wire the AUX RELAY 1 terminal block. If not used for an alarm shunt, AUX RELAY 1 can be used for a variety of purposes.

  4. Wire AUX RELAY 2. Like the AUX RELAY 1, this terminal block can be used for a variety of purposes, and are programmed via the Brivo programming interface.
    NOTE: The fully programmable AUX RELAYs provide both NO (Normally Open) and NC (Normally Closed) contacts.
    WARNING: Relay Amp Limit THERE IS A 6 AMP 28 VOLT DC LIMIT ON THROUGH CURRENT FOR ALL RELAYS.

  5. 5. If used, wire the AUX INPUTS terminal block.

    • The AUX INPUT 1 and AUX INPUT 2 terminals are contact closure type inputs.
    • The terminals can be used for a variety of purposes, and are programmed through the Brivo programming interface.
  6. If using Wiegand readers, wire the reader terminals to the DOOR 1 and DOOR 2 terminals on the left side of the ACS300 board.

  7. If using OSDP RS-485 readers, wire the reader terminal to the RS-485 terminal on the upper left side of the ACS300 board.

Important RS-485 Wiring Information

NOTE: Ensure that when wiring the RS-485 bus that BOTH ENDS of the RS-485 bus are terminated using a 120 resistor.
