1.7 Controller Board Overview
The AC8’s controller board has connectors for eight digital inputs, four analog inputs, eight digital
outputs, two control relay outputs and an EPOP contact input, as shown below. The board comes com-
plete with light emitting diodes (LEDs) to display the status of connected devices, a battery pack for
short-term backup, communications ports, power connections and other features necessary to control
your operation.

Item Description For more information, see:
A - Power On/Off
switch
Power switch for the controller board. When switched off, the battery
pack is disabled.
2.4: Connect Power to the AC8
B - Battery pack
Provides battery backup during a power loss to maintain normal
operation of the panel for a minimum of 10 minutes. The analog inputs
will not be functional during a power loss (P/N 133455P1).

C - EIA422 LEDs Indicates the connection status between the AC8 and SiteScan Web. 1.8: LED Indicators
D - Audible horn Provides audible notification when an alarm occurs. N/A
E - Audible horn
jumper
Jumper to disable the audible horn (factory default is enabled). N/A
F - Common Alarm
connectors
The two common alarm connections are used to connect to a secondary
warning device such as a horn, light or Building Management System
(BMS). When an alarm is present, the contacts close and the external
warning device is activated/notified. The common alarm contacts may
be configured to be reset with the Silence button/command.

G - Digital output
status LEDs
Each output has an LED to indicate its status: ON/OFF (energized/de-
energized).
1.8: LED Indicators
H - Control relay
outputs
Each of the two output connections is a two-state point: ON/OFF
(energized/de-energized). Digital and analog inputs may be mapped to
either or both relays to trigger change in state.
An example of a control relay output point is a humidity lock-out.

I - Manual Override
Switch (outputs)
Placing the switch in the ON position will turn ON, or energize, all eight
outputs simultaneously. This switch removes all automatic output control
from the AC8.
The factory default is OFF (outputs controlled by programming).
