Chime
The chime option causes the door controller's buzzer to sound momentarily when
the door is opened. The buzzer (AUX) output is also activated for a short period
of time.
Free exit
Normally, the controller applies the same group access rules to users exiting the
area as it applies to users being granted access. The free exit option ignores the
normal access rights and allows any enabled card to exit irrespective of time etc.
Interlock
The interlock option is used to physically tie two doors together so that only one
of the doors may be open at any one time. The interlock output (usually OP3) of
each door should be connected to the interlock input (Usually AUX) of the other
door. Because this is an electrical interlock, doors on different controllers may be
interlocked with each other, or with other devices such as an ACT10 keypad. In
this case the 0V lines of all the devices should be connected together.
Release button
The release button option enables the push-to-exit (egress switch). When this
switch is momentarily closed, the relay timer is activated for its programmed
period of time, and a user is allowed to exit. An exit event may also be recorded
in the system log. This option is enabled by default.
Exit PIN's
Normally in PIN only or PIN & swipe operation, codes are used only to gain entry
through the door. The exit PIN's option causes the controller to require a PIN
code to be entered also.
Guest button
When an external keypad is being used to gain entry, this option allows the "Bell"
button on the keypad to be used to momentarily fire a guest buzzer connected to
the buzzer (AUX) output of the controller.
Exit PIR
This option allows the use of a Passive Infra-Red (PIR) device in place of a
traditional push button exit switch. This ensures that the door remains unlocked
while the PIR is active.
Fail-Safe Relay
When using normally energized locking devices, there may be problems with the
door remaining locked during a power outage when a stand-by battery is
discharging. If the battery is partially depleted, the voltage may not be high
enough to power the controller but may still be producing enough current to keep
the solenoid energized. This option reverses the action of the relay so that the
door will fail open if this situation occurs.
