ACW2-XN

5 System Architecture – Best Practices

One or two ACW2-XN enclosures?

ONE ACW2-XN enclosure

• is sufficient for up to 8 readers

• AND if all doors are within reasonable cabling distance of the enclosure

TWO ACW2-XN enclosures are needed

• for 9 to 16 readers

• OR if a second group of doors is a significant distance away from the first group. The two

enclosures are linked with an RS-485 cable, saving on long, multiple-reader cable runs.

(Remember that the total door count still cannot exceed the 16-door limit.)

How many AW2 Modules are needed?

• One

AW2

Module is needed for each door that has both entry and exit readers.

• One

AW2

Module is needed for every TWO doors that only require entry readers

NOTE:

• Any combination of single-readers and two-reader doors is permissible

• Readers may be independently allocated to any door

• Whatever the combination, no more than sixteen doors are supported

Example using three AW2 Wiegand Modules:

Any combination of single-reader or entry+exit-reader doors is possible
