# Configure a Second-Generation Intercom as a 1-Door AC

Set up your hardware before you begin the Verkada Command setup.

If you are using any of the second-generation intercoms, see the [install guide](https://www.verkada.com/docs/?product=intercom\&contentType=setupGuide) before you continue.

## Verkada reader

Second-generation Verkada Intercoms (TD33, TD53, TD63) include a built-in reader. If you are using a TD52, see [this article](https://help.verkada.com/intercom/configuration/configure-a-video-intercom-as-a-1-door-ac) to learn how to install a reader and configure the device as a 1 door access controller.

## Output wiring

Second-generation Verkada Intercoms have a dry-form C relay output that you can configure as an access controller. This involves wiring the intercom to an auxiliary power controller and a lock as seen below.
