When an operator connects CTPlus to a NAC, doors are automatically created:
eight doors if the NAC is in IP Direct mode, eight doors if the NAC is in IP
Extended or Classic mode with 8 Door Mode or four doors if the NAC is in IP
Extended or Classic mode with 4 Door Mode.
Each door controlled by the NAC can have two door inputs, an egress input, two
lock relays, a DOTL (Door Open Too Long) relay, a forced door relay, a warning
relay, and six assigned readers in any combination of IN and OUT readers.
Each door has various options for access, shunting, egress, and anti-passback.
There are also options for alarm control if the NAC is connected to a
ChallengerPlus panel.
Doors are programmed on the Doors/Lifts form in CTPlus. See the
“Programming doors” section on page 59.
Lock types
To support more complex door operation than the V8 Four-Door Controller, the
Network Access Controller introduces new lock types, with associated inputs,
relays and timers.
The new lock types are:
Strike
Maglock
There are two inputs for each door, and two lock relays for each door:
Door input 1 – Connected to the door to indicate if the door is open or
closed. This is usually the reed switch.
Door input 2 – Connected to the lock monitor on Strike and Maglock
locks.
