In this application, FAI latch release is
provided via Zone Input 8. Configuring the
Fire Override in this manner is preferred in
installations where the reset switch is
located far away from the APD8(F) board.
This configuration also allows any type of
input source to reset the FAI latch,
including, NC contact, NO contact, open
collector, and voltage source.
The zone input should be configured along
with the zone output for the type of input
being used (See Appendix A).

Zone 2 is connected to release a doorstrike
when an egress PIR sees a valid target.
Zone 1 provides constant power to the
egress PIR through the ‘C’ terminal. The
Zone Input is set for NC Dry Contact
Negative (See Appendix A) and the Zone
Output Configuration jumper is set for ‘C’,
since fire override is not required for a
failsafe doorstrike.
Output 7 is used to control a doorstrike
powered from an external power source on
command by the keypad connected to Zone
Input 7 and powered by Zone Output 8.
The Zone Output Configuration jumper is
set for ‘X’, for a dry contact output.
