Defining relays

Click the Devices tab, and click Relay.

Select a Site filter from the list.

Select the Gateway.

From the Connection list, select the connection where the controller is located.

From the Relay list, select the relay you want to define. Once selected, the language section is enabled. You may rename the selected relay.

On the General tab, specify the Operating mode for the relay:

Normal : The relay is normally de-energized (deactivated) until it is energized (activated) by an operator, an event or any other system schedule.
Reverse:The relay is normally energized (activated or resting) until it is de-energized (deactivated) by an operator, an event or any other system function.

Specify the Automatic activation schedule: When this schedule is valid, the relay will be triggered (activated or deactivated) according to the specified activation mode.

Specify the Disable relay action: When this schedule is valid, the relay will be deactivated (or activated) according to the predefined operating mode (Corporate/Global Gateway only) .

Note: Under Global Gateways, EntraPass offers users the ability to force the Temporary activation timer. In EntraPass Global Edition, theForce temporary activationcheck box appears in the Relay window (Devices > Relays). Normally, a relay that is manually activated remains in this state until it is manually deactivated. When this option is checked, the relay will be deactivated by an alarm event, a system event or a schedule.

Set the Temporary activation timer to indicate the delay during which the relay will be temporarily triggered following a temporary activation.

Note: When the timer is set to zero, the default activation delay is set to five seconds. Maximum time allowed: 9:06:07 (9 hours, 6 minutes and 7 seconds). When you are using the KT-400, the maximum time allowed is 18:12:15 (18 hours, 12 minutes and 15 seconds).

Select a Graphic and Video view associated with the relay, if applicable.
