Free Exit and Emergency Override Option
When using the Emergency Override feature, the RTE signal is used to monitor
an Emergency Override device, such as a fire pull switch or an input from a fire
control panel. When using the Emergency Override feature, the EK1000 will
activate the lock output until the RTE input goes back to the normal (open)
condition.
When this feature is used with an EK1000 Plus, a Free Exit report is generated
when the DC connection is opened.
Emergency Override affects Alarm Monitoring for the EK1000 Plus
: This
feature disables reader tamper detection and door alarm monitoring for the door
that you select for this feature. See
Door Options
on page 28 for further
information about enabling this feature.
Figure 8: Connecting the Emergency Override Device
When connected as shown, operating the Emergency Override Device opens the
door and causes the EK1000 to create an
Emergency Override On
report at
the printer. When the device is restored, the EK1000 creates an Emergency
Override Off report and locks the door.
Think "Fire Safety":
You should
not
use Emergency Override as the sole
means of escape. Even if this feature is being used it is still necessary to provide
a manual means of exit.
