IMPORTANT INFORMATION W A R N I N G HIGH VOLTAGE, AC MAIN POWER SHOULD ONLY BE CONNECTED BY QUALIFIED, LICENSED ELECTRICIANS. ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND CODES MUST BE FOLLOWED. IF THIS PRECAUTION IS NOT OBSERVED, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH COULD OCCUR Power should not be applied to the system until after the installation has been completed.
7000 events allows the AIM-1/2SL to work independently after initial programming. The AIM-1SL supports two readers that control the single onboard door strike relay. A successful access grant on either reader will open the strike relay--this is known as 'Paired Mode'. Exit push button, door contact and two auxiliary inputs are provided.
Facility Code downloaded from the AAN/AAM controller, access is granted. PAIRED / UNPAIRED MODE (1 or 2 Door Control) The AIM-1SL always works in paired mode. A successful card read on either reader will energize the single onboard strike relay.
AIM-1SL & AIM-2SL Hardware Manual 2.2.2 DIP Switch Function Communications Address —Sets the address that identifies the device on the communications line. This number must be unique for each device on a single RS-485 communications line. In most systems, this address will correspond to Reader 1 and the following addresses on the serial line will be reserved for Readers 2 which uses this ‘virtual’...
For normal operation it is not necessary to update the firmware. If this becomes necessary, contact your Apollo Support Representative. Firmware updating should only be done under the recommendation and guidance of your Apollo technical support representative.
AIM-1SL & AIM-2SL Hardware Manual Additional Installation Information 2.7.1 Mounting Holes Four holes are provided for mounting the AIM-1/2SL. Standoffs should be used when mounting in order to protect the underside of the circuit board. Figure 2.7.1 AIM-1/2SL Mounting Holes.
Grounding the reader provides a good shield against external transients. There are three types of circuit grounds in systems using Apollo products: DC ground, RS-485 signal ground, and Safety (Earth) ground.
Please check the applicable regulations and legislation in your country prior to installing the AIM-1/2SL controller and other Apollo products. In the US, the National Electrical Code, as well as other safety regulations, require that all equipment chassis and/or enclosures be grounded in order to prevent electrical shock hazards.
AIM-1SL & AIM-2SL Hardware Manual RS-485 Communications Line The typical connection for field devices (such as the AIM-1/2SL) on a device port with an Apollo AAN/AAM controller is through an RS-485 serial communication line. First, for communication to be possible, the device port must have a communications driver installed in the corresponding socket (see Part 2.3).
AIM-1SL & AIM-2SL Hardware Manual Figure 3.4.1.2 RS-485 Device Connections. The AAN-100 serves as the master on the line and the field devices are slaves. The receive lines of the master are wired to the transmit lines of the slaves, and the receive lines of the slaves are wired to the transmit of the master.
AIM-1SL & AIM-2SL Hardware Manual Reader Input Wiring The AIM-1/2SL has four input circuits which have different functions according to the mode used (Paired or Unpaired). These inputs can be configured as UL Grade “B” (unsupervised) or UL Grade “A” (supervised).
AIM-1SL & AIM-2SL Hardware Manual 3.6.3 Exit Pushbutton Input (Request To Exit, REX) The Exit Pushbutton input will be disabled during Reader Tamper and for 1 minute after tamper condition ends! Terminal Connectors: EPB, EPBR; AUX2, AUX2R (In Unpaired Mode) (See Table 2.1 ) The Exit Pushbutton input is used by the reader to inform the reader of a door opening without first using the card / PIN.
A typical electric door lock (strike) will require approximately 250 mA. (.250 amps) to control. The relay contacts on all Apollo relays are capable of switching up to 24 volts DC at up to 2 amps. If the particular locking device requires more that 2 amps to control, a separate, external relay capable of switching the required amount of current must be installed.
AIM-1SL & AIM-2SL Hardware Manual The most common method of suppression used on DC power strikes is installation of a reverse biased diode as close a possible to the strike itself. Any type of general purpose diode (1N4001 – 1N4006, etc.) will work.

AIM-1SL & AIM-2SL Hardware Manual The diagram below illustrates connection of a DC powered, Fail-Safe, door strike. This type of strike requires power to hold the door closed. The power will be supplied through the normally closed (NC) relay contact of the strike relay.
The ADA-10 module is a potted module with an 8 position connector on the end of a short ribbon cable. Optional connectors and mounting tools (ATL-10, 490-040) may be purchased from Apollo The ADA-10 has several jumpers on the top surface that must be cut to configure the operation of the relay.

AIM-1SL & AIM-2SL Hardware Manual 3.8.1 Cabinet Tamper This is a normally closed input and should have a jumper installed if not used! Cabinet Tamper Input: TB1 This input is for connection to a switch located on the cabinet in which the AIM-1/2SL is installed to detect unauthorized access to the panel.
The first thing that must be verified at the card reader is the RS-485 communications. If the reader is unable the communicate to the controller, most other functions will not work. Communications should be verified by observing the LED's on the host controller and/or verifying voltages on the RS-485 line. See Apollo's General Troubleshooting guide for more information.
