Override / Entry Keypad
The Lasermet ICS-KP12 is an entry keypad with built-in fail-safe override timer. It may be used either
as a key-coded override control, as a door release where door locks are used, or both. A dedicated
connector is provided for it in ICS-6, and the Lasermet Override Board mentioned in the next section
‘Override Switch’ is not required. The keypad is usually fitted adjacent to the entry door on the
outside of the controlled area, and a door release exit button is provided on the inside which
activates the keypad remotely. The exit button may be wired to the keypad or ICS-6 according to
installation preference. Note that if the door is fitted with a magnetic lock, emergency door release
break glass switch(es) should be provided to release the door in the event of evacuation emergency
as shown in the Electro Magnetic Door Locks section above.
The access code and durations of the timed override and door release are programmable, refer to
the keypad instruction leaflet. Ensure that the jumper link J6 ‘O/RIDE CTRL’ on the ICS-6 Main Circuit
Board is closed across both pins so that the keypad can operate the Override circuit inside the ICS-6.
The diagram below shows the circuit where a lock is provided on the door. If no lock is provided this
part of the circuit may be omitted, and the keypad may be programmed not to activate the door
relay and ‘Door Unlocked’ indication. Refer to the keypad instruction leaflet.
