 Introduction
The Access Control Manager (ACM) Embedded Controller from Avigilon is an all-in-one security management
application and controller.
The ACM Embedded Controller is a controller embedded with the ACM Embedded Controller application to
provide a flexible and scalable platform for an economic and high performance access control system.
The controller uses a standard TCP/IP network to connect to a browser interface which links to the ACM
Embedded Controller application. The application allows you to effectively control access at each entry point.

Package Contents
The package contents for the 8-Door ACM Embedded Controller are:
l One AC-LSP-8DR-HID-LCK LifeSafety Power eight door HID dual voltage integrated power system
(shipped in a separate box)
l One Avigilon AC-HID-ACMEC V1000 ACM Embedded Controller
l Four AC-HID-VERTX-V100 reader interface modules
l Eight AC-HID-READ-ICLASS-SE-R10-AVG card readers
l 100 AC-HID-CARD-ICLASS-SE-3000-AVG contactless smart card, 2k bit with two application areas

Introduction 5
Installation
Before you install the ACM Embedded Controller, read through this entire document.
Refer to the checklist at the end of this document and gather the required information before proceeding with
these instructions.

CAUTION — The controllers and interface panels are sensitive to Electrostatic Discharges (ESD). Observe
precautions while handling the circuit board assembly by using proper grounding straps and handling
precautions at all times.

6 Installation
 Mounting the Control Panel Case
Follow the steps below to mount the control panel case.
1. At the installation site, remove the control panel case from the LifeSafety Power FlexPower box.
2. Find two studs in the wall where the enclosure should be installed.
NOTE: In a finished setup, the enclosure and contents together weighs 17.7kg (39lb).
3. Mount the plywood board onto the wall at the desired location.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that the plywood board is mounted to two studs. If no studs are
available, use appropriate drywall anchors that can support the enclosure.
4. Remove one of the two high voltage knockouts.
5. Attach an appropriate cable gland to the 7/8” diameter high voltage opening.
6. Mount the enclosure to plywood using six wood screws.

 Setup the FPO150 Power Supply Board
Follow the steps below to setup the FPO150 power supply board:
1. Either:
l For 120V input, leave JP1 intact.
l For 230V input, cut JP1.

CAUTION — Failure to cut this jumper when using the FPO with a 230VAC input will result in
damage to the system and will void the warranty.

2. Ensure DC output switch is set to 24V (as shown below).

CAUTION — This is a non-PoE device. Do not connect J1 (Ethernet port) to a PoE-capable port. This
applies to both direct PoE Power Sourcing Equipment (Endspan PSE) and PoE injector (Midspan PoE)
equipment. Not all PSE's correctly detect non-PoE capable devices, and such PSE's may not function as
expected when connected to non-PoE equipment.

4. Set Port 1 terminating jumper (P6 Port 1 TERM Resistor) to IN position.

5. Verify Port 2, 3, 4 terminating jumpers are in the OUT position.

Installation Manual for more detail (available at http://www.lifesafetypower.com/docs/im_c4c8.pdf).
8. Wire C8 board’s Outputs 1 to 8 to their corresponding door locks. (See the C4/C8 and Door Lock manuals
for more detail.)

20 Configure and Wire Power

 Power On
Follow the steps below to power on:
Note: Once connected, the card readers may beep – this will go away once the ACM Embedded Controller has
been configured.
1. Connect the high voltage primary AC connection to the FPO power supply.
CAUTION — Take necessary precautions when handling high voltage wiring. This step should be
completed by a qualified electrician.

NOTE: On the FPO150 PSU the AC light (green - see 1 above) should be on and all warning lights (see 2
above) should be off.
2. Connect the battery set(s), if applicable. See the FPO Quick Start Manual (page 1 – Battery Terminal
Connection) for more detail. Further information is available at: http://lifesafetypower.com/docs/im_
fpo.pdf.

CAUTION — Observe battery polarity or damage to the system will occur.

3. Connect the ACM Embedded Controller J1 Ethernet port to a laptop or desktop computer (preferably
offline as if you are networked the network may interfere with the IP address).

CAUTION — Do not connect the ACM Embedded Controller J1 Ethernet port to a PoE port.

Power On 21
Accessing ACM Embedded Controller Application
for the First Time
After the controller has been installed, you need to access the ACM Embedded Controller application to
complete the system configuration.
You can access the application by using the controller hostname or virtual port.

By Virtual Port
By default, every controller can be accessed from this IP address: 169.254.242.121
To perform this procedure, you must use a Windows computer with a web browser and a network port.
1. Disconnect the computer from the network.
2. Connect the computer to the controller using an Ethernet cable.
3. On your computer, open command prompt.
4. Enter ipconfig/renew
Wait for DHCP to timeout (approximately 60 seconds). The computer will acquire a 169.254.x.x address.
5. Open a web browser and enter this address: 169.254.242.121
The controller is now accessible through this virtual port.
6. Enter your login for the application.
The default username and password is admin.

By Host Name
To access the ACM Embedded Controller application by this method, your DHCP server must support hostname
access and only have one controller in the local area network (LAN).
1. Make sure the controller has a LAN connection.
2. Power the controller and wait 60 seconds for the controller to start up.
3. In a web browser, enter this address: https://acm-ec.<network domain>
For example: https://acm-ec.example.lan
The controller is now accessible through this URL.
4. Enter your login for the application.
The default username and password is admin.
See the ACM Embedded Controller Installation Guide or the ACM Embedded Controller User Guide for more
detail.
