the top and side edges of the front plate on the side touching the wall to prevent water
ingress behind the panel, but not the bottom edge. On construction sites the panel must be
protected from corrosive substances such as ‘brick acid’. The panel should be cleaned only
with a damp cloth containing dilute detergent.
Electric Door Release
Both fail-secure and fail-safe lock releases (including Maglocks) use the same terminals. To
change the lock type, refer to the ‘LOCK’ on page 24. When installing lock releases please
allow a little movement on the door, as operation will be impaired if fitted too tight or the
tongue of the lock extends too deeply into the lock release.
N.B. Magnetic locks (Maglocks) must be fitted with suitable transient voltage suppression
device at the Maglock. Some Maglock manufacturers fit an internal suppressor.
Entry and exit considerations
Most fail-secure exit doors incorporate a mechanical means of egress rather than an exit
button. Fire officers usually specify a door handle or push bar to open a door on a fire exit
route – not, for example, a thumb-turn.
Fail secure lock releases are not generally continuously rated however if the entrance needs
to be unlocked all day and the door entry system only used at night, then a continuously
rated release must be used.
Powered bolt, shoot-bolt, Shear lock or other more secure door locking systems may require
the use of a separate power supply and relay or a suppressor to be fitted.
A not uncommon problem with Maglocks, which cannot be mechanically overridden, is being
locked out of the building due to lost codes, fobs or equipment failure. So consider an
alternative building entrance, or an externally accessible secure key-switch, or a reliable
method of disabling the system during overnight secure lockup.
Exit Button input
The exit button input is used to unlock the door for the set time (default 3 seconds). The input
is designed for use with normally open push buttons.
‘Exit +’ terminal is the input/trigger and ‘Exit –‘ is internally connected to 0V.
The ‘Exit +’ input can also be used for connection to other equipment to open the entrance. It
is recommended that a relay is used to isolate/interface this connection when using third
party equipment.
Door Open Switch
The door open switch is used to provide an indication at the phone that the door has been left
open. This switch can have closed contacts when the door is closed or open contacts when
the door is closed; this selection is described in ‘Panel programming’. The default of ‘contact
open when door closed’ must be selected when this feature is not required.
Time Clock Sharing
In a large system a single time clock can be shared between distributed equipment areas by
borrowing one of the ‘commn –‘ wires in the interconnecting CAT5 to use as the shared ‘Time
clock common’. See the detailed diagram 12.
