FCC Statements

Changes or modifications to the equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

• - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

AH20/AH30 - Placement of Communication Hub

For hubs using the internal antenna , it is recommended that the device to hub distance be limited to 25 m (80 ft) . The internal antenna has an oblong coverage area and is most appropriate for applications where the hub is directly facing the device(s), e.g. mounting on the wall at the end of a hallway of doors.

For hubs using the e xternal antenna , it is recommended that the device to hub distance be limited to 12.5 m (40 ft) . The external antenna has a torus shaped coverage area and is most appropriate for applications where the devices are surrounding the hub, e.g. mounting on the ceiling less than 5m/16ft high in a room or hallway.

Examples of placement of the Hub with internal and external antenna.

AH30 (RS485 Hub) can manage up to 16 locks, AH20 and AH30 (1 - 1 mode) can manage 1 lock.

Note: AH20/AH30 must be installed into a junction box ex European 2-Gang, using Aperio bottom cover or Americas adapter plate connected to junction box. AH20/AH30 must be installed by qualified and trained personal. Indoor installation only!

AH20 Advanced Wiegand Connectors (J101)

AH20 Standard Wiegand Connectors (J101)

D1	Wiegand Data 1 signal. Output from Communication Hub. Used to transmit credentials.
D0	Wiegand Data 0 signal. Output from Communication Hub. Used to transmit credentials.
RED	Wiegand Red LED signal. Input to Communication Hub. Used for access decision. Leave unconnected if DIP switch 1 is selected "OFF". Signal is active low.
GREEN	Wiegand Green LED signal. Input to Communication Hub. Used for access decision. Signal is active low. See DIP 1 for alternate instructions.
GND	GND = Signal ground. Should be connected to EAC system GND and power supply GND.
8-24 VDC	Power supply input, 8-24 VDC, 2 W (AH20 Advanced) alternatively 0.8 W (AH20 Standard and AH30). The power supply shall be 3 A over current protected. Wire requirements 16-22 AWG.

AH20 Advanced Wiegand Connectors (J100)

Relays	Description

NOP	Normally Open

On the AH20 advanced Wiegand communication hub, four form C relays are available. The purpose of the four relays is to provide door status information to the EAC system.

The relays are connected to inputs on the EAC controller/ panel.

Relay max voltage: 30 VDC Relay max power: 15W
