ACS-300 Board Connections (without integrated power supply)
Overview
This article shows the basic layout of the connection points for the ACS-300 by Brivo. For a thorough guide on the full installation of our LS2-3A-ALX units, an install guide is located here. (https://support.latitudesecurity.com/portal/en/kb/articles/ls2-3a-alt-installation-guide)
Door Lock
On the right side of the board, there are several 3-node phoenix connectors. The relay output will have a label nearby if the board was provisioned by Latitude prior to shipment. Otherwise, it can be found by searching for the "Door Lock Relay" label on the group labeled "Door 1" based on the silkscreen label. Removing the phoenix connector reveals the labels for each pin, NO, COM, and NC respectively. By default, these are dry relay outputs that should control the state of your lock.
To "wet" the relay and have it supply voltage, flip the red switch (SW8 for Door 1, SW9 for Door 2).
Reader Ports
The reader should be connected to the left side of the board. Removing the 7-node phoenix connector reveals the function of each connection.

- Ground
- Buzzer
- 12V DC
- Green LED
- Red LED
Some example reader configurations are shown below. However, ALWAYS refer to your reader's manual before connecting it to the board, as voltage requirements and insulation color standards vary.
Internet / PoE Connection
Two ethernet ports are located on the bottom of the board. One designated for admin configuration, and another for general internet access. The latter also functions as a way to provide power to the board, if your CAT6 connection is PoE enabled. For most setups, only the POE / LAN port is necessary, and the ADMIN port can be ignored. If your CAT6 connection is not PoE enabled, please refer to the 12V connection section below.
12V DC In
A 12V DC connection is only necessary if the board is not receiving power over PoE.
To connect power to the board, locate the 2-pin phoenix connector to the lower left side of the board. The only connections are for ground and 12V DC IN only.
Make sure to check the voltage of any leads before connecting them to the board. Voltages higher than 12V can irreparably damage components, and the device will not be serviced under warranty.
