Defining an Input for a Group of Doors
This feature allows operators to setup an input that will allow unlocking a group of doors upon an input alarm. This feature can only be setup for groups of doors.
Note: If you only have one door that you want to setup to unlock upon an
input alarm, create a group that will only include that door. To create groups, see
Door Group
Creation.
When the input being defined / edited is used for a door contact, a Door tab is displayed in the Input definition window.
- In the Input definition window, select the Doortab.
- Select the group of doors that will be unlocked upon input alarm.
-
Select action to take once the doors are unlocked:
- Latchwill keep the doors unlocked until an operator manually relocks them regardless of the input’s state.
- Followwill keep the doors unlock until someone
physically resets the inputs state. This option is the most appropriate
for manual pull stations since they require special tools and/or user
intervention to reset the alarm condition.
- Example: For a door, part of a group, on a schedule; when the input is restored, it will lock the group of doors and return the door back to its original schedule.
- Access will unlock the group of doors for the
duration of the unlock time even if the input is back to its normal
state. Note: This feature is not operational if communication links between the controllers and the Global Gateway are down.
