Single Reader Expansion Module (ADC-ACX1) - Data Sheet
Alarm.com’s Smarter Access Control is an ideal solution for any small or medium-sized business. The Single Reader Expansion Module is designed to add one extra reader to an Alarm.com door controller. Each ADC-ACX1 adds one reader port, two relay outputs, and two programmable inputs to the system. Connect the expansion module to the controller using a shielded, RS-485 twisted pair.
Note: It is always recommended to power the ADC-ACX1 with 12 VDC, as the input voltage is passed through to power the attached reader.
For larger commercial installations, Single and Two Reader Expansion Modules can be daisy-chained together.
