ACM24D 4-Wire Access
Control Module V1.0
The ACM24D Access Control Module can
control two doors and can support REX devices,
readers, locking devices and door contacts.
Door contacts that are connected to the
ACM24D are programmed using BabyWare
software and can be assigned to zones in the
Imperial system.
Installation
The ACM24D is a
standard 35mm
DIN rail module.
Using the
supplied DIN rail,
the ACM24D can
be mounted in any
location.
Alternatively, it
can be mounted in
a standard DIN rail enclosure. To attach the
module, align the top of the DIN rail as shown in
Figure 1 and apply pressure to the module until it
clicks into place. To remove the ACM24D from a
DIN rail, pull the release clip and remove the
module.
To facilitate installation and servicing, the
ACM24D terminals can be detached from the
module. Wires can be labeled using the supplied
tie wraps.
Door contacts connected to the system follow
the control panel’s EOL definition. When EOL is
enabled and door contacts are not used, place a
1kΩ resistor across the CT and C input terminals.
If EOL is disabled, use a jumper. If the REX
device is not used, place a jumper across the RX
and C terminals.
Stand-Alone Mode
The ACM24D stores all access codes and cards
in memory. If panel communication is lost, the
ACM24D will continue to function normally.
Events will be stored in memory. When
communication is restored, events are
automatically uploaded to the panel.
Upgrading the Firmware
Imperial
The firmware of the ACM24D can be in-field
upgraded through the V32’s RS485 ACCESS
port using BabyWare.
EVO/DGP
The ACM24D firmware can be upgraded through
WinLoad using the CV4USB RS-485/RS-232
Converter. Refer to the firmware upgrade
instructions found at: paradox.com - Software -
WinLoad - Firmware Upgrade Instructions.

Locate Mode
• For Imperial panels, a Module Locate can be started or stopped using BabyWare software
or by pushing the module’s LOC button. When a Module Locate is initiated, a flashing
occurs of the module’s LEDs (BUS RX and TX flash at 1Hz) as well as the module’s
representation in BabyWare.
• For DGP/EVO panels, a Module Locate can be initiated using section [4002] (EVO) or
[952] (DGP-48 / DGP-848). To end a Module Locate, press the LOC button.
Reader LED Feedback

Transformer Sharing
Modules can share a central AC
transformer (16 to 24VAC) throughout the
system. Ensure that the total power output
of the transformer is respected.

EVO / DGP Programming
When used on an EVO/DGP system, the ACM24 appears in WinLoad as two ACM12 modules.

Input Power
Use a 16-24VAC (50/60 Hz)
transformer with minimum
75VA. as shown in the
connection diagram. Do not
use switch-controlled outlets
to power the transformer. It
is possible for modules to
share a central AC supply
(16 to 24 VAC) throughout
the system.
Backup Battery
To power the module’s door lock relay during a power failure, connect a
12Vdc (minimum capacity of 7Ah) rechargeable acid/lead or gel cell
backup battery as shown in the connection diagram. Apply AC power
before connecting the battery.
Use supplied cable. If using custom wiring, add a fuse near the battery.
Battery charge current: 350mA/500mA (configurable in BabyWare).
Jumper Settings (J2)
When the J2 jumper is ON, internal
power is fed to COM of both relays (up
to 2A at 12V). If using external power,
remove the J2 jumper and supply
power to the COM input (see below).
Remove J2 jumper before
supplying external power.
Readers
Each ACM24D on a V32 can be assigned with up to 4 readers / 2
per door (EVO/DGP - 2 readers / 1 per door). The ACM24D
supports R910 (V2.0 or higher) and/or R915 (any version) 4-wire
card readers (up to 500mA). Readers 3 and 4 are optional and
can be used as passback or SAS readers (one man trap, two-door
access).
Readers are assigned to the ACM24D in BabyWare (Imperial) or
WinLoad/keypad assignment (EVO/DGP).

Connecting an External Trigger
The external negative trigger can also be activated using a
push button. When the push button is pressed, the door will
unlock. The PGM or push button must ground the negative
trigger.
Energy Saving Feature
When door locks are activated, voltage increases*. When
the activation period expires*, the ACM24D will go into
power saving mode and voltage will be reduced*.
This feature is only available when using internal power (J2
on).
* These settings are configurable with BabyWare software.
