1 Notes on Safety
Electronic components for access control play an important role in the security concept of your
organization. These components must be properly installed, regularly maintained and inspected to ensure
that they do not fail.
Please observe the following notes on safety prior to the installation and maintenance work.
1.1 Warnings
Warnings warn against hazards that may arise when using the devices described in the document. The
hazard levels can be identified by the signal word:
Signal word
Meaning
Identifies a hazard that may result in severe personal injury or
even death if proper precautions are not taken.
Identifies a hazard that may result in minor or medium
personal injury if proper precautions are not taken.
Identifies a hazard that may result in tangible damages if
proper precautions are not taken.
1.2 Fire Protection, Escape and Emergency Escape Routes
Fire doors, escape and emergency escape routes that are restricted in their
functions can result in life-threatening situations.
When you install devices and configure the products (hardware and software)
ensure that you do not restrict these functions! In this context, always also
consider possible effects from interactions with other systems.
Use only approved components for fire doors, escape exits and escape doors.
Example: Fire doors must not be switched open by means of automatic door releases if their fire
protection effect is lifted as a result. In the event of a fire, doors may not be completely closed as a result
of the release and consequently lose their protective effect!
In the event of long-lasting door releases, use the intended door openers and key components only.
Adhere to statutory requirements.
1.3 Emergency Facilities
Do not use the products to lock auxiliaries that are indispensable to life in the event
of an emergency, e. g. defibrillators, emergency medication or fire extinguisher!
