Door Options

  • Always Check Unlock Schedule: Enabling this option causes the door to latch unlock when the Unlock Schedule is valid, and lock when the schedule is invalid. While the schedule is valid, if the door is locked by another function it will immediately unlock again. This prevents the door from being manually locked when it should be unlocked.

    You can use this option together with Schedule Overrides Latch to also prevent the door from being latch unlocked when the schedule is invalid.

    Using the Prevent Unlock On Schedule If Inside Area / Outside Area Armed options alongside this setting will prevent the door from unlocking while the schedule is valid, but does not relock the door when the area is armed. To achieve this use Area Disarmed AND Schedule Valid Unlock Door instead.

  • Enable Open/Close Events On Schedule: By default, doors do not generate open and close events while they are unlocked by schedule. This saves space in the controller's memory. If you need to report on these events, enable this setting to generate them.

  • Relock On Door Close: With this option enabled the lock will relock as soon as the door closes. If the door is not closed the lock will still deactivate after the normal lock activation time.
  • Relock On Door Open: With this option enabled the lock will relock as soon as the door opens. If the door is not opened the lock will still deactivate after the normal lock activation time.

  • Unlock Door On REX: When this option is enabled, opening the REX Input (set in the Inputs tab) will unlock the door.

    When this option is disabled the door does not automatically unlock when the REX input is pressed, but temporarily enters a 'free egress' state, suppressing door forced alarms for the normal REX activation time. This allows the use of mortise locks with a free egress handle which mechanically unlocks the door.

  • Unlock Door On REN: When this option is enabled the REN Input (set in the Inputs tab) can be used to unlock the door using the request to enter function. Disable this option to disable REN processing for this door.

  • Schedule Operates Late To Open: When this option is enabled the door will not latch unlock when the schedule is valid until a user or operator unlocks the door. This can be used to prevent the door from automatically unlocking on days when nobody arrives on site.

    This option overrides the Always Check Unlock Schedule option above.

Door Options 2

  • Door Lock Follows Inside/Outside Area: Enable one of these options to select whether the Area Inside Door or Area Outside Door (General tab) will be used with the area control options below.

  • Prevent Slave Unlock On Inside Area: If there is a Slave door set in the General tab, by default the slave door will always follow the state of the primary door when it unlocks on access. This option prevents the slave door from following the primary door when the slave door's inside area is armed, preventing false alarms. This option must be enabled in the slave door's programming.

    This feature does not work with the SlaveREX = true command. When the primary door is unlocked by REX, REN or manual commands the slave door will be unlocked regardless of area status.

  • Prevent Unlock On Schedule If Inside/Outside Area Armed: When one of these options is enabled, if the unlock schedule becomes valid but the door's inside or outside area is still armed the door will not unlock. This can be used to prevent a door from unlocking on days when no one arrives to disarm the area.

  • Area Disarmed AND Schedule Valid Unlock Door: When this option is enabled the door will automatically latch unlock when both the unlock schedule is valid and the relevant area is disarmed. When the schedule becomes invalid or the area is armed the door automatically locks.

    If the door is latch unlocked or locked by any other feature it will immediately be returned to the correct state.

    The relevant area is determined by the Door lock follows inside area or Door lock follows outside area options above.

  • Area Disarmed OR Schedule Valid Unlock Door: When this option is enabled the door will automatically latch unlock when either the unlock schedule is valid or the relevant area is disarmed. When both the schedule is invalid and the area is armed the door automatically locks.

    If the door is latch unlocked or locked by any other feature it will immediately be returned to the correct state.

    The relevant area is determined by the Door lock follows inside area or Door lock follows outside area options above.

  • Enable Access Taken On REX/REN Events: With this option enabled, when a REX or REN is registered at the door the system will record whether the requested access was taken or not taken. For example, if the REX button is pressed and then the door is opened a 'Request to Exit Taken' event will be logged. If the door is not opened a 'Request to Exit Not Taken' event will be logged.
