Description of the AMC-4W 3. Description of the AMC-4W The AMC-4W is equipped with four independent interfaces for Wiegand type readers. By that it is able to control two doors with a reader in each direction and up to four doors with a reader in one direction only.
The AMC-4W electronic is completely covered by a plastic housing. The LC Display provides all important status information. The setup procedure for an AMC-4W is very simple and extremely fast by the use of door templates. Once selected, all the inputs and outputs are predefined.

By default a management host system is connected via Ethernet. A management host connection via RS485 or RS232 is also possible. In RS485 mode up to eight access controllers AMC-4W can be combined on one party line. Via Wiegand interfaces up to four peripheral devices can be connected to each AMC-4W.

For short distances below 25m (75 feet) use AWG18 connection to power conductors. For higher distances install an additional supply power supply close to the AMC-4W. Please, calculate the voltage drop by checking the conductor specifications for characteristic resistance values. The voltage drop shall not exceed 2V.

RS485 slave Please, calculate your voltage drop (see above) by checking conductor specifications for characteristic resistance values. Note: The voltage drop at the different cables add up! Their sum shall be less than 2V! Installation Guide Bosch Security Systems | V.3.1/2006-09...
5.1.1. Mounting on rails The AMC-4W can be attached on a standard 35 mm mounting rail via a snap-in mechanism. Attach the AMC-4W into the lower edge of the mounting rail, the lift the AMC-4W and snap it onto the rail by pushing it towards the back.
The AMC-4W case consists of a top cover mounted with a three-point snap-in closure on a ground chassis. To open the AMC-4W case push the left side of the top cover (single catch) and pull the top cover from the chassis.
The AMC-4W enables you to set up a central ground or shielding point, simply by setting a couple of jumpers. Set these jumpers only if ground or shield is not connected otherwise.
Setting jumper 3 connects the internal ground of the AMC-4W to the shield of the RS485 host interface. Set Jumper 3 only at the first AMC-4W of a party line. The host system must not connect cable shield and protective ground. If the AMC-4W is set to RS232 mode, Jumper 3 must be set.

If an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is used, the relay output for power good signals from the UPS is connected to pin 4 and pin 5. Otherwise these two pins must be short-circuited. Installation Guide Bosch Security Systems | V.3.1/2006-09...
Bus devices are the AMC-4W. Peripheral devices are card readers, door control units, locks, signals, alarm devices, etc. which are connected to the AMC-4W. Maximum cable length of a bus line must not exceed 1200m or 4000ft. The cable length of branch lines must not exceed 100m or 300ft.
Both connectors of the RS485 interface of the AMC-4W can be bus lines. For longer bus lines connect the AMC-4W to multiple AMC-MUX-EXT. To use RS485 mode at the AMC-4W, connect the data cables to the pluggable screw connector of the RS485 host interface. Then set the RS485 address via DIL switch or software and activate the RS485 two-wire or four-wire mode via jumper settings.
A complete connection diagram of the RS485 host interface is shown in chapter 7.1 ‘Connecting Diagrams’ of this documentation. 5.6.2. RS485 Four Wire Connection Figure 17: Connection scheme of an RS485 four wire connection Bosch Security Systems | V.3.1/2006-09 Installation Guide...
DIL Switch Address Selector The first four DIL switches for address selection define the RS485 address of the AMC-4W in a RS485 bus system. Switch 5 selects on of the two different protocols, SDEB and BPA (according to DIN6619). Switch 6 sets the connection to the host system to either RS232 or RS485.

Installing the AMC-4W Access Controller AMC-4W 5.7. RS232 Host Interface The AMC-4W offers an RS232 serial interface to connect a host computer or serial modem. Cable length between two RS232 COM serial interfaces must not exceed 15 meters (45 ft).
The AMC-4W offers an additional 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet auto-sensing interface to connect to a local area network or host computer. Use either a CAT5 crossover cable to connect the AMC-4W directly to a computer’s network interface or a standard CAT5 patch cable to connect the AMC-4W to a network hub or network switch.
Access Controller AMC-4W 5.9. RS485 Extension Module Bus The RS485 Extension Module Bus expands the AMC-4W with additional I/O modules. Up to three expansion modules can be connected to provide additional in- and outputs, for example, for elevator control.

Installing the AMC-4W 5.10. Wiegand Interface for Card Readers The AMC-4W has four Wiegand interfaces to integrate up to four card readers with Wiegand compatible interfaces. Each interface is connected via a 10-pin pluggable screw connector (S5, S9, S13 and S17).
Access Controller AMC-4W 5.11. Connecting Relay Outputs To operate locks or alarm systems the AMC-4W has eight form C relay outputs.. Each relay output can operate in ‘wet’ mode, using the AMC-4W's internal 12V DC power supply for external devices or ‘dry’ mode with potential free contacts for externally powered systems.
7.1 ‘Connecting Diagram’ of this documentation. Each relay output has a separate jumper setting on the bottom side of the lower circuit board to activate wet or dry mode. Figure 26: Location of relay output jumpers (bottom side) Bosch Security Systems | V.3.1/2006-09 Installation Guide...
The AMC-4W has eight analog inputs, for example, for potential free lock mechanisms or to detect if a lock is closed or open. The AMC-4W can also detect the wiring conditions ‘short circuit’ and ‘broken’ and initiate an alarm if the appropriate devices are connected.
Page 39
All input devices are connected by means of 4-pin pluggable screw connectors of the AMC-4W. A complete connection diagram for analog input devices is shown in chapter 7.1 ‘Connecting Diagram’ of this documentation. Bosch Security Systems | V.3.1/2006-09 Installation Guide...
Figure 28: Location of the analog input connectors 5.13. Tamper Protection To protect the AMC-4W against unauthorized access and prevent the AMC-4W from tampering with sensitive data, the AMC-4W offers an additional interface to connect external tamper contacts. This interface is a potential-free 2-pin pluggable screw connector marked with T.
