Door Monitoring Alarms (Easikey 1000 Plus Only)
Easikey 1000 Plus systems can monitor door contact switches. This enables
Easikey 1000 Plus systems to generate the following types of alarms:
Unauthorized Access Alarms
The EK1000 creates this alarm when someone opens a door without using a valid
key/card, or without activating the Request to Exit device.
Door Left Open Warnings
The EK1000 creates this condition when something causes the door to stay open
longer than the time programmed in the Door Open Time option.
Printer Facilities
The Easikey 1000 has a built-in printer interface. If you connect a printer to the
EK1000, the system can print each event as it happens, or store up to 1000
events for printing on demand. The system can print database information
including users, Time Profiles and door information, and the movements of
individual users in selected reports.
System Operation
This manual describes installations using proximity key/cards: The information
provided in this manual assumes that you are using Radionics' Easikey or
Readykey proximity keys or cards with the system.
The system operates when a user presents an Easikey key/card close to an
Easikey door reader. The key or card transfers its unique serial number to the
reader. The reader transfers the key's or card’s serial number to the EK1000
door controller. When the EK1000 receives the serial number, it checks the
following items before allowing access to the secured area:
1. Is the key/card's serial number one that has been stored into the EK1000's
database?
2. Is the user assigned to this key/card allowed through this door?
3. Is the user assigned to this key/card allowed to enter through this door at this
time and on this day?
If the answer to all three questions is “Yes”, the EK1000 will enable its lock
output used to activate an electric locking mechanism for a programmed number
of seconds, allowing the key/card holder to pass through the door.
Installers often place a button or switch on the secure side of the door called the
Request to Exit switch. The Request to Exit switch allows anyone to leave the
secured area without using their key/card. This is also sometimes referred to as
an “Egress” input.
