Figure 47: Alarm_Out1 Feature
• Interface for Door Control (which Door can be OPEN):
If Alarm_Out (COM1) interface is set to control Door 2 opening, “ALMOUT1 Status” can be configured by
choosing “Normal Open” or “Normal Close” based on the strike used.
Unlike default COM2 which is designed for strike control and having three connecting sockets, the COM1
only has two connecting sockets. Therefore correct lock mode has to be configured to make the strike
working as expected.
For above example, the GDS3710 is configured to control Door1 (wiring to COM2 interface); the 3
rd
party
Wiegand Input is set to control Door2 (wiring to COM1 interface).
In case of a power loss then the DOOR STATUS when power is off will be depending on the following
situations:
• COM2 has three wiring PINs, corresponding to NO or NC accordingly. Therefor when connecting
NC2 and COM2 (Fail Safe) then strike will open when power is lost and when using a NO2 strike
(connecting COM2 and NO2) then door is “locked” when power is lost (Fail Secure).
• COM1 (ALMOUT1) has only two PIN, and NO ONLY. If the connected strike/lock is a NO strike,
this means ALMOUT1 Status should be set to “Normal Open” then door will be closed when
power is lost, while if the strike connected is NC strike, and ALMOUT1 Status is set to “Normal
Close” then door will be open when power is lost.
