ACTsmart2 Operating and Installation Manual Rev. 1.3
Installation Notes
• Remember to Factory Default the ACTsmart2 before programming
• Remember to place the supplied varistor across the terminals of the door strike coil to protect the relay
contacts
• Don’t mount the ACTsmart2 Prox units near RF sources (Eg mobile phones, radio transmitters,
computer monitors) or metal surfaces.
• Remember that the ACTsmart2 PIN and Prox units default to Card operation. Card and PIN
operation must be programmed in. (See ACTsmart2 Programming Options section, Options 39, 40
and 41).
• Don’t power the unit from a switch-mode power supply. Use a linear regulated power supply.
• Never use the on-board relay to switch AC mains voltage. An external relay, electrically isolated from
the ACTsmart2 should be used for this purpose
• Remember to change the programming code.
• Don’t power the ACTsmart2 from an AC power supply on a networked system. An AC power supply
may only be used on a standalone ACTsmart2.
• The ACTsmart2 is not compatible with the original HID compatible ACTsmart. The cards and
fobs for one version will not work on the other. The ACTsmart and ACTsmart2 devices may
NOT be networked together.
• When ordering new cards or fobs specify ACTsmart2.
Important
As with any Access Control system, always ensure there is an alternate means of escape in the event of
the unit failing to operate due to power loss or in the event of fire.
