Exit Device Connections
A normally-open exit device contact unlocks its assigned door for its defined door relay unlock time and
overrides the alarm input during its defined door held open time. Examples of exit devices are exit push
buttons or motion sensors (PIR) etc.
Keyscan recommends a PIR with a pulse output of 1/2 second and suitable for its environment.
