Request to Exit (REX) Function
The REX button is connected to the Power Supply Unit (PC-25T). The
REX button must be located inside the premises to be secured and is
used to open the door without the use of a proximity card or PIN
code. It is usually located in a convenient location, such as inside the
door or at a receptionist's desk. The function of the REX button
depends on whether the Lock Strike Relay is programmed for Fail Safe
Operation or Fail Secure Operation.
Fail Secure Operation:
From the moment the REX button is
pressed, the door is unlocked until the Lock Strike Release Time
has passed. After this time, the door is locked even if the REX
button is not released.
Fail Safe Operation:
From the moment the REX button is
pressed, the door is unlocked until the REX button is released,
plus the Lock Strike Release Time. In this case, the Lock Strike
Relay only begins its count down once the REX button is released.
