Door Control Unit User Manual

Yes, the card readers are also capable of reading key tags and is setup from the AKCess
Control Server.
14. What kind of electrical locks could be used in the doors (control voltage etc.)
We offer and highly recommend our ACDL01 or ACDL02 EM door locks which are
powered by the DCU or CCU. These require 12VDC. You can use your own door locks
but we would need the specifications and wiring diagrams for this integration.
15. What about the need for external power supply for DCU’s, readers, cameras,
locks?
The DCU, the CCU and the cameras require an AC power adapter which is included. The
readers, doors locks and switches are all powered by the DCU or CCU.
16. Is the DCU Linux based with own WEB interface like the SEC5E products or
dependant on Access Pro Server? What are the differences in in the web interface
between the DCU and the SEC?
Yes, the DCU uses the same main board and iMX25 processor of our SEC-5ESV unit
and does have its own web interface, however it does need the AKCess Pro Server
software to operate the Access Control enrolment system. The DCU itself operates
independently of the Server.
Regarding the web interface difference between the 5E, 5ES and 5ESV, the DCU has no
web interface for sensors and video configuration.
17. Can you do all monitoring through sensors, virtual sensors etc. in the DCU like in
the SEC-5ESV (without the need to add a separate SEC-5ESV unit)?
Yes, you can monitor the sensors and setup the notifications in the DCU's web interface
as you would in the SEC-5ESV without the need for another base unit. However as noted
before, you need to configure the sensors from the AKCess Pro Server software. Also
note there are no virtual sensors on the DCU‟s web interface.
18. Do you have some instructions on how install the EM Door Lock? Is it compatible
with any door?
The EM Locks are suitable for wooden, glass, metal and Fireproof doors as it says on the
website and datasheet. In terms of installation. The installation guide is covered in this
manual. We highly suggest you hire a qualified lock smith to install the door locks as they
are familiar with the EM locks and will know how to install them. Most likely they will need
to supply you with custom brackets for mounting the locks.
