Doors | Inputs

Door Input Options

  • Door Position Input: Defines the input used for Door Position. When defined the reader sends door events when the door input is opened or closed.
  • Invert Door Input: When enabled the door contact input is inverted. This does not affect the input functionality, if used. When disabled door contact functions normally.

REX Input Options

  • REX Input: Defines the input used for the Request to Exit function. When set, the reader expander the door is linked to generates a request to exit event from the REX input. When disabled the reader expander does not generate any REX events.

  • Invert REX Input: When enabled the reader inverts the Request to Exit input. When disabled, REX input operates normally.

Bond Input Options

  • Bond Sense Input: Defines the input used for the Bond Sense function. The magnetic bond sense is a contact indicating whether the magnetic bond between the electromagnet and the clamp is complete. It is used when a separate door contact and bond sense input are to be used, however the generation of door events should be processed using both inputs.
  • Invert Bond Input: When enabled the reader inverts the bond sensing input. When disabled bond sensing operates normally.

REN Input Options

  • REN Input: Defines the input used for the Request to Enter function. When set, the reader expander the door is linked to generates a request to enter from the REN input.
  • Invert REN Input: When enabled the reader inverts the request to enter input. When disabled REN input operates normally.

Beam Input Options

  • Beam Input: Defines the input used for beam control. Beam control allows the reader expander the door is linked to control an automatic gate, which must have its contacts held open even if the pathway is blocked.
  • Invert Beam Input: When enabled the reader inverts the beam control input. When disabled the beam control input operates normally.

General Options

  • Always Allow REX: When enabled the reader will always allow a Request to Exit event, even if the door is forced open. This will not restart the forced door or door alarm operation. When disabled REX input will operate only when the door is closed.
  • Recycle Door Open Time on REX: When enabled the reader extends the door open time when the REX is received. The REX must be received during the normal open time or during the pre-alarm time for the timer to be recycled. Pressing the Request to Exit once the door has been open too long requires the door to be closed. This option will not affect the ability of the Request to Exit action to unlock the door. When disabled REX input will not alter the door open time once the door has been opened.
  • Forced Door Sends Door Open: When enabled the reader expander processes door forced open events as door open events. When disabled the reader will process forced door events as normal.
  • Recycle REX Time: When enabled the door open time restarts, allowing the door to be held open and the REX pressed at each point the pre-alarm starts, silencing the pre-alarm and restarting the open timer. This allows a door to be held while furniture is being moved or to provide extended access for mobility users.
  • Maintain REX: When enabled the door stays unlocked for as long as the REX button is held down.
  • Pulse Reader Beeper on REX: When enabled the reader associated with the door produces a double beep when the REX button is pressed.
  • REX Time Different to Lock Time: When enabled the REX Activation Time field appears, allowing for specification of duration for unlocking the door using the REX button. This overrides the time set for the Lock Activation Time (under Doors | Outputs).
