6.14.3 Escape&Return function
SmartHandles with Escape&Return function allow opening without the
need to press an identification medium again, shortly after the door was
closed.
The function is activated by selecting the corresponding check box and the
specification of a time window in the integrator system. It must then be
programmed with the SmartIntego tool.
NOTE
Escape & Return: Legal situation
The Escape & Return Timeout can be between 30 s and 240 s (WO) re-
spectively 1 s and 240 s (SVCN). The use and configuration of Escape &
Return may be subject to legal regulations (e.g. Norway).

Inform yourself in advance about legal regulations.
A sensor in the SmartHandle detects that the inside handle has been
operated. The SmartHandle then engages for an adjustable time and
signals this visually and acoustically.
Disengagement takes place after the previously defined time. The user can
also disengage the locking device manually (thus canceling the escape and
return function) by holding his card two seconds in front of the lock's card
reader.
The signalling of the Escape&Return function can be switched off.
Example:
If a guest leaves their hotel room and smells smoke in the corridor, they can
go back into their room immediately.
Example 2:
Student residence / retirement home: In many cases, the user notices that
he forgot the card immediately after he or she closed the door. With
Escape & Return the user can solve this problem himself.
