Aiphone AC-IOE – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Aiphone AC-IOE expander board be used on its own, or does it need a controller?
The AC-IOE cannot run standalone. It is an expansion board that requires either an ACS-ELV or an ACS-IO Starter Kit to operate, and it draws its 12V DC power from the main board rather than a separate supply. If you are building a new access control point from scratch, order the starter kit first and add the AC-IOE to grow the input and relay count.
2) Does the Aiphone AC-IOE come with an enclosure?
No enclosure is included with the AC-IOE. It ships as a bare board measuring 3-1/2 inches by 3-3/4 inches, intended to be mounted inside the existing cabinet with the ACS-ELV or ACS-IO starter kit hardware. Plan cabinet space and standoffs accordingly before the install date.
3) How many inputs and outputs does the Aiphone AC-IOE add?
Eight dry contact inputs and eight dry contact solid state relay outputs. Aiphone describes it as an 8-floor or 8-port expander, so it is used both for elevator floor control and for general input/output expansion on an AC Series access system.
4) Is the Aiphone AC-IOE listed for access control use in a code-compliant installation?
It carries UL and ULC Listing under UL 294 and ULC S319-05, the access control unit standards. That matters for institutional and government specs that require listed equipment in the access control enclosure.
5) Can I use the AC-IOE for elevator floor control in a multi-tenant building?
Yes. The board is specified as an 8-floor or 8-port expander, so each of the eight solid state relays can be assigned to a floor call button when paired with the ACS-ELV elevator control kit. For buildings with more than eight floors you add boards to cover the additional floors.
6) What can the AC-IOE relays actually switch, and do I need a separate relay for a mag lock?
Contact rating on the board is 30V DC. The outputs are dry contact solid state relays, so they switch a circuit rather than supply power to a lock. For any locking device you run the lock power through the contacts or use an interposing relay sized to the lock's current draw, and keep the switched voltage within the 30V DC rating.
7) Is the AC-IOE suitable for a commercial building or is it a residential product?
It is a commercial-grade AC Series access control component, not a residential device. Typical use is inside an access control cabinet in multi-family, office, healthcare, or education buildings where the AC Series controller is already installed.
