Emergency exit door
Description of the application
An emergency exit door is a door that is unlocked from the
inside either by badging out or by opening the door.
If the door is opened without badging out, it causes an immediate
alarm. Badging out bypasses the door for a specific period of
time, so no alarm event occurs.
A typical CRC application for emergency exit door is shown in
Figure 3-7 below.

Hardware configuration
A CRC used for an emergency exit door requires the following
additional hardware:
• CRCSND CRC Sounder
• Door contact
The CRCSND is installed inside the CRC. The sounder provides
a local sound alarm. Opening the door without badging out
activates the CRCSND.
