Defining interlock options (mantrap)

You may define interlock options (mantrap) between two doors to synchronize the time when these two doors are open/closed. The interlock options are also called the mantrap. This ensures that once the cardholder has accessed the first door, that door is closed and locked before the cardholder is granted access to the second door. The two doors have to be controlled by the same controller.

Note: The Interlock options do not apply to a KTES door.
  1. In the Door window, click the Miscellaneous tab.
  2. From the Door list, select the first door for which you want to define interlock options (mantrap).
  3. From the Interlock contact list, select the first input for the interlock options (mantrap). The selected input has to be the door contact of the second door .
  4. from the Door list, select the second door for which the interlock options (mantrap) are being defined and then select the interlock contact for this second door. It has to be the door contact of the first door.
  5. Select the Interlock schedule: The two doors must have the same interlock schedule. This is the schedule according to which the interlock is checked by the controller before access is granted to users.
    Note: The interlock options (mantrap) are not available on doors controlled by a KT-100.
  6. Select No unlock by input when armed when applicable. It is cleared by default.
  7. The Suspend report delay on door relock (hh:mm:ss) indicates the time during which the selected inputs will not be monitored when the door unlocks. It is not possible to shunt a door contact since the system will automatically shunt it. Values range from 00:00:01 to 18:12:15. Default is 15 secs.
  8. In the Shunt inputs scrolling pane, select inputs that will not be monitored when the door unlocks. Selected inputs or input group will remain unmonitored for the delay defined in the Shunt delay field.
    Note: The Shunt input items vary depending on the KT-300 or KT-400 system used.
