In-Facility Broadcast
10
This is an
alternate mode
of Building Access Controller 32 operation. In most applications, you will have
electronic access control (keypad or proximity card reader) installed on every door. However, in certain high-
density applications where it is not feasible to have electronic access control on all doors, you might only install
door sensors on each door. In these scenarios, "In-Facility Broadcast" is a way to achieve a reasonable level of
security based on tracking who is in a facility at a specific time.
The "In-Facility Broadcast" function is used to alert you to interior door entries that are probably
unauthorized
. This is accomplished by filtering alarms for specific doors when an authorized user is known to be
"in-facility" / "in the building" / "on-site".
For example, if a person enters a facility and is authorized to enter 4 specific interior rooms, entries into any of
those 4 rooms should not trigger an alarm while the user is on-site. For any other interior room entries, however,
you need to receive an immediate alarm.
