Doors | Outputs

Lock Output

• Lock Output / Output Group: The output or output group that controls the physical door lock. These are typically the relay outputs on the reader expander, but could be any output or output group in the system.

• Lock Activation Time (seconds): The unlock time in seconds, i.e. the time that the lock output will be activated for when the door is unlocked. If additional lock outputs are being used this controls the activation time of the first lock output.

  Setting the activation time to 0 will cause the door state to toggle between locked and unlock latched when unlocked by a user or operator. However, the REX and REN functions are disabled.

  The maximum lock activation time is 128 seconds.

Pre-Alarm Output

• Pre Alarm Output / Output Group: The door will generate a pre-alarm when a door is left open, to warn users that the door left open alarm will soon be activated. The pre alarm output or output group is activated when the Door Pre-alarm Delay Time (General tab) is reached.

  This feature can be disabled under specific circumstances in the Alarm options tab.

• Pre Alarm Pulse On/Off Time: These fields are used to make the pre alarm output or output group pulse on and off when activated.

  The output or output group will turn on for the pulse on time, turn off for the pulse off time, then repeat. These times are set in 100ms increments. For example, if the pulse on time is set to 2 and the pulse off time is set to 8 the output will turn on for 200ms, turn off for 800ms, then repeat, for a total cycle of 1 second.

  If either or both of the pulse on and pulse off times are set to 0 the output will turn on continuously. Each of these fields supports a maximum value of 255 (25.5 seconds).

Door Left Open Output

• Left Open Alarm Output / Output Group: When a door has been left open for too long, a door left open alarm will be generated to instruct users to close the door immediately. The left open alarm output or output group is activated when the Door left open alarm time (General tab) is reached.

  In addition, when the alarm is generated the Door Left Open trouble input is opened.

  This feature can be disabled under specific circumstances in the Alarm options tab.

• Left Open Alarm Pulse On/Off Time: These fields are used to make the left open alarm output or output group pulse on and off when activated.

  The output or output group will turn on for the pulse on time, turn off for the pulse off time, then repeat. These times are set in 100ms increments. For example, if the pulse on time is set to 2 and the pulse off time is set to 8 the output will turn on for 200ms, turn off for 800ms, then repeat, for a total cycle of 1 second.

  If either or both of the pulse on and pulse off times are set to 0 the output will turn on continuously. Each of these fields supports a maximum value of 255 (25.5 seconds).

Door Forced Open Output

• Force Open Output / Output Group: When a door is forced open without any access a door forced alarm will be generated. The forced open output or output group will be activated immediately.

  In addition, when the alarm is generated the Door Forced Open trouble input is opened.

  This feature can be disabled under specific circumstances in the Alarm options tab.

• Force Open Pulse On/Off Time: These fields are used to make the forced open output or output group pulse on and off when activated.

  The output or output group will turn on for the pulse on time, turn off for the pulse off time, then repeat. These times are set in 100ms increments. For example, if the pulse on time is set to 2 and the pulse off time is set to 8 the output will turn on for 200ms, turn off for 800ms, then repeat, for a total cycle of 1 second.

  If either or both of the pulse on and pulse off times are set to 0 the output will turn on continuously. Each of these fields supports a maximum value of 255 (25.5 seconds).

To configure a door forced delay, add the DoorForcedStateDelay = X command in the Commands field for the door, where X is the delay time in seconds.
