Pre-Installation Procedures
Before you begin installing the Brivo control panel, perform the following tasks to ensure a safe, speedy,
and successful installation.
Understand the function of the Brivo ACS6000 control panel (A/E/F/S).
The ACS6000-E, ACS6000-F, ACS6000-A, and ACS6000-S are four (4) reader control panels
with multiple access points (up to four readers per panel). This control panel is considered a
standalone system. The main board has two (2) readers on-board, and one additional expansion
board can be integrated with the main board which will form the four (4) reader panel. Additional
expansion panels (ACS6000-EXP) can connect to the main control panel with two expansion
boards in each. Each expansion board can be a door board (two (2) readers on board) or an
input-output board.
The Brivo ACS6000-E uses an on-board Ethernet interface to communicate via any TCP/IP
networking technology that can be connected through a hub, router or switch, including Wi-Fi
and satellite communications. It is an IP-enabled Access Control System that interacts with the
Brivo OnAir cloud server via the Internet application Brivo OnAir.
The Brivo ACS6000-A is identical to the ACS6000-E except that the ACS6000-A communicates
to a Brivo OnSite Server instead of the Brivo OnAir cloud server.
The Brivo ACS6000-F is identical to the ACS6000-E except that the ACS6000-F communicates
to the Brivo OnAir for Government cloud server instead of the Brivo OnAir cloud server.
The Brivo ACS6000-S is identical to the ACS6000-E except that the ACS6000-S cannot
communicate through the web. Instead, it is programmed through an on-board interface for data
management.
The ACS6008-E, ACS6008-F, ACS6008-A, and ACS6008-S are identical to their respective
ACS6000 models except for a larger enclosure which allows for two additional expansion boards
(door board or input-output boards). Also, the ACS6008 series are connected to two (2) 12V,
7Ah batteries for standby power (Batteries should be connected in parallel).
Understand Brivo ACS6000 control panel product compatibility.
The ACS6000 control panel is compatible with a large number of standard reader models
including the following UL tested reader models: HID600, Identiv 8110, HID RPK40, Allegion
MTK15, AWID KP-6840, and OSDP reader 921PTPTEK00385. Brivo products are designed to
accommodate the latest updates in Wiegand and OSDP using RS-485 reader formats. The
ACS6000 control board is compatible with Wiegand devices that transmit up to 255-bit data and
OSDP readers using RS-485.
A current list of compatible readers and keypads is maintained on Brivo’s website at
http://www.brivo.com. If you have a specific model of reader or keypad that is not listed on the
Brivo website, please contact Technical Support at 1-866-BRIVO-4-U to determine
compatibility.
Verify that the client site is ready to support the installation.
1. Check with the IT department to ensure that the ACS6000 control panel to be installed is
compatible with the company’s local area network (LAN).
a) The ACS6000 control panel is equipped with a standard RJ-45 socket that

Plan your installation.
1. Determine the size of your control panel.
a. In addition to the control chassis, which contains the MAIN BOARD, there may
be up to seven expansion chassis.
b. The control chassis contains the MAIN BOARD, which also serves as a 2-door
board, and may also contain either a DOOR BOARD or an INPUT OUTPUT
BOARD.
c. Each expansion chassis may contain one or two boards: one DOOR BOARD,
one INPUT OUTPUT BOARD, two DOOR BOARDs, two INPUT OUTPUT
BOARDs, or one DOOR BOARD and one INPUT OUTPUT BOARD.
Each DOOR BOARD has two terminal nodes, each of which contains a
complete set of terminals for controlling a door. This means that each
DOOR BOARD can be used to control two doors.
Brivo ACS6000 Installation Manual Page 10
© 2016 Brivo Systems LLC. All rights reserved. 10/17/2016
The same inputs and outputs that drive a door can also be used for other
devices. In other words, DOOR BOARDs do not need to be used to control
doors.
WARNING: Door Wiring
If a node is to be used for a door, do not connect any other device to the
following terminal blocks: REX & DOOR, DOOR LOCK RELAY, and
READER.
An INPUT OUTPUT BOARD cannot be used to control a door; however, it
can be used in any circumstance that uses contact closure to track change
of status.
2. Using the packing slip as a guide, complete the appropriate Installation Worksheets
included with your documentation set.
Decide where to install each chassis.
1. Do not place the control chassis more than 100 feet from the transformer. This is the
maximum cable run allowed by the ACS power supply.
2. Calculate the distance between the control chassis and each expansion chassis using
the chart in Table 1 below. The calculations are based on the following restrictions.
a) The control chassis, containing the MAIN BOARD, and the first expansion
chassis can be up to 1500 feet apart.
b) Each time another expansion chassis is added, the maximum distance between
the first and last chassis decreases by 50 feet. So, if there are three chassis in a
system, the control chassis plus two expansion chassis, the two most distant
chassis can be no more than 1450 apart.

2. If there are expansion chassis, in each chassis connect the second expansion board to
the first one.
Connect Expansion Boards in Expansion Chassis
3. Daisy-chain the complete set of chassis together.
a) For example, if there are six boards in the control panel, there would be a MAIN
BOARD and five expansion boards (E1, E2, E3, E4, and E5). Each expansion
board could be either a DOOR BOARD or an INPUT OUTPUT BOARD.
b) To daisy-chain the boards together: (See Figure 11 below.)
Wire E5 to E4 in Expansion Chassis 2.
Wire E4 in Expansion Chassis 2 to E3 in Expansion Chassis 1.
Wire E3 to E2 in Expansion Chassis 1.
Wire E2 in Expansion Chassis 1 to E1 in the Control Chassis.
Wire E1 to the MAIN BOARD.

CAN BUS Configuration
4. Use standard CAT5 or CAT6 (unshielded twisted pair) cabling to connect all the boards
in the control panel via the CAN BUS terminals.
5. Always connect like terminals to one another (i.e., A to A, B to B, and so on.).
6. Follow the color coding shown on the wiring diagram on the inside of the chassis door.
WARNING: CAN BUS Wiring
THE A/B CIRCUITS MUST SHARE A TWISTED PAIR, AND THE C/D
CIRCUITS MUST SHARE A TWISTED PAIR. Otherwise, the distance and
data integrity of the communications channel will be compromised.
WHEN USING JUST A MAIN BOARD, SWITCH 7-1 TO THE ON POSITION
WHICH ENABLES CAN TERMINATION ON THE MAIN BOARD. If expansion
boards are used, the can termination jumper remains attached on the very
last board(s) in the daisy chain; i.e. It must be removed from all boards
except the endpoint of the daisy chain. (NOTE: The MAIN BOARD does not
have to be an endpoint in the control panel; the control panel may be in the
middle of the chain with expansion boards branching out in either direction.)
7. On the first board, connect the wires of the CAT5/CAT6 cable to the CAN BUS terminal
block as follows:
a) Connect the green wire to the A terminal.
b) Connect the green and white wire to the B terminal.
c) Connect the blue wire to the G (ground) terminal.
d) Connect the orange wire to the C terminal.
e) Connect the orange and white wire to the D terminal.
8. After all the wires of the CAT5/CAT6 cable are connected to the first board, connect the
wires to the second board in the same manner.
9. Connect the CAN NODE ADDRESS jumpers. The silkscreen next to the CAN NODE
ADDRESS pins shows how to position the jumpers for first four addresses.
10. Positions for additional address values are shown in the diagram below.
Brivo ACS6000 Installation Manual Page 24

CAN NODE ADDRESS Jumpers
WARNING: CAN BUS Wiring
The CAN NODE ADDRESS jumpers are used to set the address of each
board on the CAN BUS. DO NOT ASSIGN TWO BOARDS THE SAME
ADDRESS, OR THE BUS WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.
Set these values sequentially, starting with 2 as the first expansion board
address; address 1 is the MAIN BOARD. Record all addresses on the
Installation Worksheet. These jumper settings will map to board numbers
when the control panel is configured via the application.
Connect a laptop to the MAIN BOARD’s ADMIN Port
Connect Laptop to MAIN BOARD
1. Connect a laptop to the ADMIN port on the MAIN BOARD using a standard Ethernet
cable or a patch cable.
a) The ADMIN port is a 10/100 Ethernet interface with RJ45 jack for connecting the
MAIN BOARD to a laptop or PC to gain access to the local administrative
interface for debug and manual configuration utilities.
Brivo ACS6000 Installation Manual Page 25
© 2016 Brivo Systems LLC. All rights reserved. 10/17/2016
b) The port uses auto-sensing technology to determine polarity, which permits
either a straight or crossover cable to be used between the board and the
computer.
Connect the LAN to the MAIN BOARD
Connect LAN to MAIN BOARD
1. Connect the LAN to the MAIN BOARD according to the instructions in the ACS6000
Networking Admin Interface Guide.
a) The LAN port is a 10/100 Ethernet interface with an RJ45 jack for connecting the
MAIN BOARD to a Local Area Network in order for it to gain connectivity to the
Internet and the appropriate server depending upon the version of MAIN
BOARD.
b) Use a straight, (i.e., non-crossover) cable to connect this port to a local hub,
switch or router that has connectivity to the Internet.
Wire Doors
For each board node to be used for controlling a door, as indicated in the completed Installation
Worksheet, make the following connections.
NOTE: Doors can be wired to the MAIN BOARD or to expansion boards,
including both DOOR BOARDs and INPUT OUTPUT BOARDS.

option to activate the door or other relays, fire the door strike, and
suppress any “Door Forced” messages.
b) Connect the Normally Closed (NC) contacts of the Door Sensor to the COM and
CONTACT terminals.
In this context, an NC switch is considered closed when the door is
closed (magnet is present), and open when the door is open (no magnet
is present).
When the switch is open, the control panel interprets this input as a
“Door Open” condition. When the switch is closed, the control panel
interprets this input as a “Door Closed” condition.
This circuit provides door status information (open/closed) to the control
panel so the application can take appropriate action locally, or send
email notifications if necessary.
2. Wire the DOOR LOCK RELAY terminal block.
a) Connect the door latch to the COM terminal and either the NO or NC terminal.
b) The DOOR LOCK RELAY provides both NO (Normally Open) and NC (Normally
Closed) contacts, and is driven in response to the presentation of valid
credentials or the programmable REX input.
c) Timing and other aspects of relay activation are programmed through the
application.
3. If used for an alarm shunt, wire the AUX RELAY 1 terminal block. If not used for an alarm
shunt, AUX RELAY 1 can be used for a variety of purposes.
4. Wire AUX RELAY 2. Like the AUX RELAY 1, this terminal block can be used for a variety
of purposes, and are programmed via the application.
NOTE: The fully programmable AUX RELAYs provide both NO (Normally
Open) and NC (Normally Closed) contacts.
WARNING: Relay Amp Limit
THERE IS A 3A, 24VDC LIMIT ON THROUGH CURRENT FOR ALL
RELAYS.
5. If used, wire the AUX INPUTS terminal block.
a) The IN1 and IN2 terminals are contact closure type inputs that share a COM
terminal.
b) The terminals can be used for a variety of purposes, and are programmed
through the application.
6. Wire the Reader terminals to the last block of terminals in this door node.
NOTE: To activate RS-485 functionality on the ACS6000 MAIN BOARD for
Door 1, put the RS-485 Door 1 switch in the RS-485 position. For Door 2,
put the RS-485 Door 2 switch into the RS-485 position.
