5.0 Inputs and Outputs
5.1 System Inputs
Systems have the capability of monitoring door status (door contact) inputs, request to exit
(REX) inputs, and auxiliary general purpose inputs.
All inputs are assigned default features that can be con gured as needed. e following table
shows the default states for each of the inputs:
Table 5.1: Default Input States
Input Default State
Door Status Inputs Normally Open, Unsupervised, 8 Second Held Open Time
REX Inputs Normally Open, Momentary, Unsupervised
Auxiliary Inputs Normally Open, Unsupervised
Door Status Input
e door status input monitors whether the door is in an open or closed state. A door status
switch (typically a magnetic reed switch) will change states when the door is opened or closed.
e door status input does not require any programming to enable however, you will have to
select either normally open (NO, factory default) or normally closed (NC) operation in the panel.
Simply connect a magnetic reed switch to the appropriate door input as shown in the control
panel illustration, Figure 2.1.
Request To Exit
e Request to Exit (REX) input is a momentary input closure that activates the door output
relay for the same amount of time as a valid card swipe or keypad entry. REX devices can include
a press-to-exit switch on the inside of a door or a passive infrared detector (motion detector),
which allows convenient egress. e REX input does not require any programming. Simply
connect a normally open (NO, factory default), momentary input device to the REX inputs as
shown in the control panel illustration, Figure 2.1.
Auxiliary Inputs
e auxiliary inputs are general purpose inputs that can be used with a variety of input devices
including CO2 detectors, alarm system integration, etc. ese inputs can be con gured via
programming to trigger a de ned action such as to activate an auxiliary output.
