Avigilon Access Control Core Installation Guide
Model: OP-CR-ACC
Overview
The Avigilon Access Control Core (ACU) is an access control unit designed to manage up to 8, 12, or 16 entries through two expansion board connections. This guide covers the installation and configuration of the Access Control Core as part of the Alta access control system, including connections to Mercury™ hardware and third-party Wiegand and OSDP readers.
What's Included
- Access Control Core unit
- Power cable
- Bracket and push-in fasteners
- Tamper sensor wire (optional)
Site Survey and Requirements
Conducting Site Surveys
Before installing Avigilon hardware, conduct a site survey to determine:
- The number of entries (doors, gates, elevator floors) to be configured.
- The type of wiring required (legacy or new).
- The electronic entry mechanisms (e.g., Request to Exit - REX), door contact sensors, and their power requirements.
- If locking hardware requires 24V, determine if a Smart Hub with a 24V power supply or a separate 24V supply will be used.
- The need for backup batteries for a Smart Hub (refer to 'Selecting a backup battery' on page 32).
- Support for legacy access control panels for mobile gateway integration (refer to 'Wiring to legacy panels and mobile gateway' on page 19).
Network Requirements
An Ethernet connection with DHCP is required to connect the ACU to the Local Area Network (LAN). Firewall settings may need to be configured for communication with Alta Access, which uses the following outbound ports:
- TCP port 443
- UDP port 123
Note: If an external DNS server is used, outbound UDP port 53 must also be open.
Enclosure Requirements
- The Access Control Core and Avigilon expansion boards are typically installed in an Avigilon Smart Hub with a pre-installed power supply. The Avigilon 4-Door Smart Hub (SYS-4ENT-DVE1) is used as an example.
- For other Smart Hubs, refer to 'For more information' on page 33.
- The Access Control Core, Mercury controller, and subpanels can also be installed in a LifeSafety Power® enclosure.
Refer to vendor documentation for information on third-party enclosures.
Installation
Specifications
For detailed specifications and dimensions of the Access Control Core, consult the OP-CR-ACC datasheet. All national and local electrical codes must be followed during installation.
Avigilon Reader Wiring Requirements
Avigilon readers and ACUs communicate via RS-485. The following wire types are recommended, listed in order of preference for optimal distance:
- Shielded CAT6A (recommended; additional pairs can be used for sensors)
- Shielded Cat 6
- Shielded RS-485 (18-24 AWG; thicker wire is better)
- Shielded Cat 5
- Unshielded Cat 6
- Unshielded Cat 5
- Shielded 22/6
- Unshielded 22/6
Note: Use one twisted pair for GND and VIN (power) and another twisted pair for +B and -A (data).

Brown | LED | Wiegand LED |
Yellow | BUZZER | Wiegand Buzzer |
Operating temperature range: -22°F to 140°F (-30°C to 60°C).
Recommended maximum cable length: 300 ft (91 m) with CAT6 or 500 ft (152 m) if two wire pairs are used for GND and VIN.
Shielded Wiring: Connect one side of the drain wire (shielding) to the GND terminal on the ACU. The shield and GND wire can share the same terminal. Do not connect the other side of the shield.
Note: For elevators, all relays and readers must connect to the same ACU. For more than four access-controlled floors or readers, use the 16 I/O Elevator Board.
Warning: Always disconnect power from the ACU and locking hardware before wiring Avigilon readers and other devices to prevent damage.
Legacy Wiring
Legacy wiring (unshielded, straight-through, often 22-6 AWG) can lead to slower connections and dropped packets. To improve this, swap GND and VIN with +B and -A connections on the ACU and readers, ensuring the data pair (+B and -A) uses the alternate wire pair.
Standard Configuration
Wiring the Access Control Core in a Smart Hub
Smart Hubs come with pre-installed power supplies; Avigilon boards must be installed separately. Example: 4-Door Smart Hub
- Connect the Access Control Core to an Ethernet cable with internet access.
- Connect the Access Control Core to an Avigilon expansion board using the USB cable.
- Connect the Access Control Core to a power supply using the included power cable.
Warning: Do not apply power during wiring. Ensure the power supply is unplugged until all wiring is complete.
- Optional: To monitor tamper events, attach the included tamper wire to the tamper switch on the enclosure and plug it into the Access Control Core.
Advanced Configuration
