Electrical connection
After verifying whether a device is complete, you can switch to the connection step.
For connection you will need:
an Ethernet UTP CAT5 or higher cable connected to a network switch/router;
The maximum length of the UTP CAT5 cable segment should not exceed 100 meters, according to the IEEE 802.3 standard.
power supply at + 12V, 2 Amps;
wires must be brought for connecting the lock and additional modules (optional).
You can connect any type of electromechanical for which the switched current does not exceed 5 Amps.
Connection using an external power supply and an electromechanical lock
AV-08FB
AV-08FBL
The panel supports direct connection of an electromechanical lock to the Lock Out terminals without an external relay or additional power supply for the lock.
The panel uses a built-in Multiplying Energy Booster circuit to buffer peak load and protect the lock from overload.
Recommended lock parameters: 12–14 V, up to 3.5 A, cable length up to 5–7 m.
If the lock consumes more than 3.5 A, the maximum cable length decreases.
☞ Built-in Multiplying Energy Booster for Electromechanical lock opening
The individual entrance panels AV-08FBL and AV-08FBIL support direct connection of an electromechanical lock to the built-in Lock output.
Unlike the standard market approach, this solution does not require a separate power supply unit or an additional relay for lock opening. The panel can control and power the lock directly through a single output.
This built-in hardware feature simplifies installation, saves space in the electrical cabinet, and reduces the risk of wiring mistakes.
Supported models
This feature is available in:
How it works
The panel includes a built-in pulse power amplification circuit. It briefly accumulates energy and releases it at the moment the lock is opened, when the load reaches its peak.
This technology is referred to as Multiplying Energy Booster and is designed for electromechanical locks with delayed closing. Such locks use a short electrical impulse to release the latch mechanism and remain open without continuous power until the door is opened and closed again.
The booster circuit provides a high-power opening pulse for approximately 1 second. Because of this, the Lock output is not intended for locks that require continuous power during the entire unlocked state.
Only compatible electromechanical locks with impulse-based unlocking should be connected directly to the Lock output.
In practice, this means the panel can provide the short opening pulse required by an electromechanical lock without using an external relay or separate lock power supply in typical installation scenarios.
What problem it solves
This feature helps simplify electromechanical lock connection in the following way:
both control and power for the electromechanical lock are provided through a single Lock output;
there is no need to connect the lock through relay contacts in the standard external scheme;
in many cases, there is no need for a separate lock power supply;
installation becomes faster and easier;
fewer external components means less wiring complexity and a lower risk of installation errors;
the lock is better protected from overload or incorrect connection caused by non-standard field wiring.
Connection principle
For these models, the electromechanical lock can be connected directly to the Lock output using the built-in booster circuit.
Use the connection diagram from the device documentation:
AV-08FBL — connection scheme for electromechanical lock using PoE switch;
AV-08FBIL — corresponding connection scheme from the printed manual.
It is important to follow the wiring diagram exactly. This direct connection method applies specifically to supported electromechanical locks within the limits described below.
What can be connected to the Lock output
The Lock output is intended for direct connection of an electromechanical lock only.
Supported parameters:
voltage: 12 to 14 V;
recommended current consumption: up to 3.5 A;
recommended cable length: up to 5 to 7 m.
Locks with higher current consumption can also be used, but the maximum cable length will decrease.
Examples:
4.5 A — recommended cable length is reduced to approximately 3 to 4 m;
1 A — cable length can be increased up to approximately 10 m.
The lower the lock current consumption, the longer the allowed cable distance.
Power requirements for the panel
Minimum:
12 V, 1 A power supply
orPoE IEEE 802.3af
Recommended:
12 V, 2 A power supply
orPoE IEEE 802.3af
Important limitations
This output is designed for electromechanical locks connected directly to the panel.
Please consider the following:
use only supported lock types and stay within the recommended electrical limits;
if the lock current is higher than recommended, the opening distance will be reduced;
cable length must be selected according to the actual lock current consumption;
do not assume that the same direct connection method is applicable to every lock type or every BAS-IP panel.
Benefits for installation
Compared with the standard market scheme, this solution gives several practical advantages on site:
fewer components in the installation;
less space required in the cabinet;
faster installation;
simpler troubleshooting;
lower chance of wiring errors.
For projects where panel space, installation speed, or wiring simplicity matter, this feature can noticeably reduce the complexity of lock connection.
Summaryof the built-in energy booster
In AV-08FBL and AV-08FBIL, the built-in Multiplying Energy Booster allows an electromechanical lock to be connected directly to the Lock output.
This removes the need for a separate relay or dedicated lock power supply in typical supported scenarios and makes installation simpler, cleaner, and faster.
Connecting an MR-03KP reader via SH-12
The MR-03KP keypad reader can be connected to the panel through the SH-12 interface module.
In this configuration:
the MR-03KP reader is connected to the SH-12 Wiegand Input;
SH-12 communicates with the panel through the RS-485 interface;
identifier data received by the reader is transferred to the panel via SH-12.
For detailed wiring instructions, see the SH-12 documentation.
