Brivo ACS6100 Installation Manual
d) Each large expansion chassis (B-ACS6100L-EXP) may contain up to eight boards, in any
combination of DOOR BOARDs and/or INPUT OUTPUT BOARDs.
• Each DOOR BOARD has two terminal nodes, each of which contains a complete set
of terminals for controlling a door. This means that each DOOR BOARD can be used
to control two doors.
• The same inputs and outputs that drive a door can also be used for other devices. In
other words, DOOR BOARDs do not need to be used to control doors.
• An INPUT OUTPUT BOARD cannot be used to control a door; however, it can be used
in any circumstance that uses contact closure to track change of status.
2. Using the packing slip as a guide, complete the appropriate Installation Worksheets included with your
documentation set.
Decide where to install each chassis
1. Do not place the control chassis more than 100 feet from the transformer. This is the maximum cable run
allowed by the ACS power supply.
2. Calculate the distance between the control chassis and each expansion chassis using the chart in Table 1
below. The calculations are based on the following restrictions.
a) The control chassis, containing the MAIN CONTROL BOARD, and the rst expansion chassis
can be up to 1500 feet apart.
b) Each time another expansion chassis is added, the maximum distance between the rst and
last chassis decreases by 50 feet. So, if there are three chassis in a system, the control
chassis plus two expansion chassis, the two most distant chassis can be no more than 1450
apart.
Total # of chassis Max allowed distance
2 1500
3 1450
4 1400
Maximum Distance Calculations
c) Calculate the distance between each chassis and its associated keypad or reader. The
B-ACS6000-MBE/MBS control panel does not specify a maximum distance between the
chassis and a keypad or reader, but the keypad/reader manufacturer does. Follow
manufacturer guidelines for each keypad and reader.
d) Place each chassis within 500 feet of its associated electronic strike or latch.
