Hardware and Components
Enclosure
The AC8 comes standard in an enclosure, which
features a key lock for added security. The enclosure
is made of metal to accommodate secure conduit
fittings and protect components against
environmental debris.
• The enclosure is designed for easy wire routing
and terminations. Access slots for communication
cables and network wires are located on both the
top and bottom of the enclosure.
• The enclosure is 2-3/4" deep, allowing for recess
mounting in a wall. The enclosure may also be
flush-mounted.
• The enclosure houses the controller board and
Transformer Module.
Keypad Display
The keypad is a user interface
mounted on the enclosure door of
the AC8. The liquid crystal display
(LCD) provides for complete
monitoring and configuration of the
panel and is password-protected.
The keypad display provides the ability for the AC8
to operate as a complete standalone panel.
Controller Board
The controller board supports these connections:
• Eight devices, with 1 digital input and 1 digital
output per device
• Up to four zones, with staging for each zone
• Four 4-20mA analog inputs (one sensor per zone)
• Two programmable digital relay outputs
• Two Common Alarm outputs
•One EPOP input
The digital inputs are dry contacts. The analog
inputs are 4-20mA inputs. The digital outputs,
programmable relay outputs and Common Alarm
outputs are Form C contact relays. The Common
Alarm output is one output with two sets of contacts.
The point terminations are made using removable
terminal blocks. This allows for easier access to the
terminators, streamlining the process of connecting
external devices to the AC8.
The controller board is a microprocessor-based
platform for program execution. The firmware may
be easily upgraded at the job site, simplifying the
process of installing new firmware as it becomes
available. Configuration data is stored in nonvolatile
EEPROM to protect against power loss.
An RS232 operator terminal port is included with
each controller board for operator devices such as a
simple CRT terminal or laptop PC.
An integrated on-board modem allows remote access
to the AC8. The modem is factory-configured,
eliminating field configuration and wiring
requirements. An RJ11 phone modem jack is also
included.
An IGM422 connection permits access to Liebert’s
SiteScan Web Enterprise Monitoring System. This
connection allows information and alarms to be
monitored from a centrally located command center.
