Do you have a question about the Brivo B-ACS-SDC-E and is the answer not in the manual?

The Brivo Single Door Controller (B-ACS-SDC-E) is a robust and versatile access control device designed for secure single-door management. This installation manual provides comprehensive guidance for setting up, configuring, and maintaining the controller, ensuring optimal performance and security.

Function Description

The Brivo ACS-SDC-E is a single-door access control device that integrates seamlessly with the Brivo Access cloud-based security platform. Its primary function is to manage access to a single door, supporting various configurations including in/out antipassback scenarios. The controller acts as a central hub for door security, connecting to readers, locking hardware, and other inputs/outputs to facilitate secure entry and exit. It is designed to be an on-board Ethernet PoE (Power over Ethernet) interface, allowing for network connectivity and power delivery over a single cable, simplifying installation. The device can also be powered by an external 12V DC power supply.

The controller supports two readers: one primary access control card reader and an additional reader for in/out antipassback configurations. It can be configured to operate with either a magnetic lock or a door strike, providing flexibility for various door types. The device also includes features for managing request-to-exit (REX) buttons, door switch monitors (DSM), and auxiliary inputs (AUX), enhancing its security capabilities.

Important Technical Specifications

Power Requirements: The ACS-SDC-E can be powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet) or an external 12V DC power supply. When using PoE, it does not place the ACS-SDC-E more than 100 feet from the 12V DC power supply transformer. The maximum cable run allowed by most external power supplies is 100 feet. If not using PoE, the ACS-SDC-E requires an external 12V DC power supply, with a maximum wiring length between the ACS-SDC-E and a reader, keypad/reader manufacturer that follows manufacturer guidelines for wiring type and distance between controller and reader. The ACS-SDC-E within 500 feet of its associated electronic strike or latch.
Lock Relay Output: The relay is rated up to 30V DC and 2A with 0.6 power factor. The power provided via one of the ACS-SDC-E’s 12V outputs, the relay power would be 12V DC and the rated output of 500 mA of the ACS-SDC-E’s limited current.
Reader Compatibility: The controller is compatible with standard OSDP readers and supports RS485 communication. It can also be configured with OSDP readers using RS485 formats.
Network Connectivity: The ACS-SDC-E features an on-board Ethernet PoE interface for TCP/IP networking. It can be connected through a hub, router, or switch, including satellite communications.
Environmental Ratings: The unit is primarily for indoor use. It can be used outdoors if contained in a protected water-tight enclosure. The ACS-SDC-E control panel is UL tested to between -35°C (-31°F) and 66°C (150°F) and EN -40°C (-40°F) to 70°C (158°F) and 85% humidity.
Wiring: The device supports 18 AWG or 22 AWG wire for power and data connections. Category 5 cabling is the minimum performance category recommended. Compliance with IEEE 802.3 (at or af) specifications is not verified as part of UL294/B. If powered by 12V DC, the power supply must be a UL294 listed or UL 603 listed power supply. Battery capacity for loss of primary power at least zero (0) hours.
LED Indicators: The ACS-SDC-E unit has five LEDs with the following colors and functions:
- Power - [GREEN]
- Network Link - [GREEN]
- OSDP Reader State Blink / Factory Reset - [RED]
- PCS Connection Solid ON/OFF - [GREEN]
- Heartbeat Blink - [BLUE]
Dimensions: The physical dimensions are not explicitly stated in the provided excerpts but are implied to be compact for single-door installations.

Usage Features

Easy Installation: The manual provides clear, step-by-step instructions for installation, including pre-installation checks, assembly, and wiring procedures. The use of PoE simplifies wiring by combining power and data into a single cable.
Cloud-Based Management: The ACS-SDC-E integrates with Brivo Access, a cloud-based software application that enables end-users to manage their Brivo account. This allows for remote configuration, monitoring, and management of the access control system.
Flexible Lock Control: The controller supports both magnetic locks and door strikes, offering versatility for different door types and security requirements. The lock relay output can be configured for Normally Open and Normally Closed contacts, providing flexibility for wiring depending on the application.
Supervised Inputs: The device includes three supervised inputs for Request To Exit (REX), Door Switch Monitor/Door Contact (DSM), and Auxiliary Input (AUX). These inputs can be configured as two (2) state (non-supervised) with Closed / Open Status, or four (4) state (use of two 2Kohm End of Line Resistors) supervised with Closed / Open / Short / Cut Status.
Antipassback Support: The ACS-SDC-E supports antipassback configurations, requiring both an entry and exit reader to prevent unauthorized re-entry.
Tamper Detection: When triggered, the ACS-SDC-E will generate a tamper event to Brivo Access. It will be visible in the real-time event interface and can be configured to generate email notifications. Tamper for ACS-SDC-E is motion triggered. Once triggered, the ACS-SDC-E will stop after a period of time (10 to 15 seconds) with the reader at rest. In order for the tamper alarm to be audible, an OSDP reader must be attached to the ACS-SDC-E unit and the tamper alarm will sound through the attached OSDP reader.
Firmware Upgrade: When first registered and connected to the Brivo cloud service, your ACS-SDC-E will automatically download and install the latest firmware. This process may take several minutes, so do not disconnect or cut power to your ACS-SDC-E during this process.

Maintenance Features

Factory Reset: The ACS-SDC-E unit goes into a factory default reset sequence when the following steps are performed:
1. Press and hold the factory default reset (FDR) button for ten (10) seconds and wait for the solid red LED to light up and stay solid.
2. Release the button within three (3) seconds.
3. After releasing the button, the ACS-SDC-E unit will recognize that a factory reset is desired and will initiate the factory default reset procedure. As the ACS-SDC-E unit restarts, the firmware will automatically update. Once LED operation returns to normal, the ACS-SDC-E unit will have been reset. Note: If the Factory Default Reset (FDR) button is released after 13 seconds or more than three seconds after the red LED is solid, a factory reset will not occur.
Troubleshooting: The manual provides guidance for troubleshooting common issues, including noise suppression warnings and fail-secure mode warnings. It emphasizes the importance of proper wiring and installation to prevent interference and ensure reliable operation.
Support Resources: Brivo offers various support resources, including a data sheet, panel networking guide, quick start guide, and technical support via phone and online channels.
Regulatory Compliance: The device complies with FCC and Industry Canada regulations, ensuring safe and reliable operation. It is designed to minimize radio frequency interference and is suitable for use in residential, commercial, and industrial environments. The product is also UL294 listed, indicating compliance with specific performance levels for access control units.
