Power, Battery, & Ground Wiring
Power Wiring
 NOTE: DO NOT APPLY POWER UNTIL THE INSTALLATION IS 
COMPLETE. TURN MASTER POWER SWITCH OFF BEFORE 
WIRING.
1.  Route two wires between the AE-1000 and the power transformer. 
•  For power wire runs up to 100 feet, use 18 AWG, THHN 600-volt 
insulated wire.
•  For power wire runs up to 200 feet, use 16 AWG, THHN 600-volt 
insulated wire.
2.  Connect the wires to the transformer. Connect the other end of the 
wires to the AE-1000 AC1 & AC2 terminals.
Backup Battery / Uninterruptable Power Supply
Use of battery backup is optional. It will allow the AE-1000 to operate for 
short periods of time without AC power. The door or gate access device 
must use some type of battery backup of its own for the entire system to 
be functional.
A backup battery will not fi t into the AE-1000 case. Protect the backup 
battery inside a rain-tight NEMA enclosure suitable for the installation.
 NOTE: A backup battery is not required to maintain the AE-1000 
clock/calendar and programming memory during power outages.
1.  Route two wires between the AE-1000 and the backup battery.
2.  Connect the Battery positive to the AE-1000 DC+ terminal and the 
negative to the DC- terminal.
 NOTE: The AE-1000 does not supply battery charging current. 
An external battery charger will be required to maintain the battery.
Earth Ground
For the best ground, use size 12 gauge solid wire or larger to connect the 
to an 8-foot copper ground rod. Locate the ground rod next to the Power 
and Telephone company rods and bond the rods together with a new 
clamp. Do not disturb the clamps installed by the Power or Telephone 
Company. Alternately, connect to a metallic cold water pipe for the earth 
ground.
1.  Connect the wire from the earth ground to the AE-1000’s EARTH 
GROUND STUD.
RS-232 Port
A modular connector is provided for the bi-directional 38.4K baud 
RS-232 port. The AE-1000’s RS-232 port connects to a personal 
computer’s COM port. System programming can be performed locally 
with a computer connected to the RS-232 port.
