Overview
The
ArchiTech
series locks can be programmed to send and/or respond to Emergency Commands ("
Emergency Lock
Down
", "
Emergency Passage
" and "
Return to Normal
" ). Emergency Commands can be initiated an RR-
4BKEYFOB
Wireless Remote Release
or initiated from the Networx server running DL-Windows. (
Note:
"
Emergency Passage
" is not available with the
Wireless Remote Release
). Emergency Commands are availa-
ble in two types: "
Global
" or "
Local
".
With "
Global Emergency Commands
", activating the Emergency Command changes the state of all locks in the
entire system.
With "
Local Emergency Commands
", only the lock that initiates the Emergency Command will change state; acti-
vating the Emergency Command does NOT change the state of all locks in the entire system.
For more information about how Emergency Commands work with your ENTIRE system, see the
DL-Windows for Net-
worx User's Guide
(OI383).
Understanding "Global" vs. "Local"
The following features should be understood before
using
Emergency Commands
with your ArchiTech
series lock. Below describes the various features
available for
Global Emergency Commands
or
Local
Emergency Commands
, or combinations of both.
TIP:
If using an RR-4BKEYFOB
Wireless Remote
Release
, before reading this page, we recommend
that you read the documentation that came with it,
and also the "
Wireless Remote Releases
" section on
page 36.
Receiving Emergency Commands
Lock Responds to Global Emergency Com-
mands
When enabled:
The lock
WILL
accept and
adhere to Emergency Commands that dis-
seminate from another lock or from DL-
Windows.
Note:
This feature does not need
to be enabled (checked) for the lock to accept
commands from an RR-4BKEYFOB
Wireless
Remote Release
.
When disabled:
The lock
WILL
NOT
accept
nor adhere to Emergency Commands that
disseminate from another lock or from DL-
Windows.
CAUTION: Disabling (un-
checking) this feature could be of great conse-
quence for the safe administration of your Net-
worx system.
Activating Global Emergency Commands
Keyfob initiates Global Emergency Commands
: When enabled (checked), if an Emergency Command is
initiated from an RR-4BKEYFOB
Wireless Remote Release
, the "paired" lock will first inform the Gateway to
broadcast the Emergency Command to all locks assigned to the same "
Gateway Group
",
then
the paired lock
will respond to that Emergency Command accordingly (if the above "
Lock Responds to Global Emergency Com-
mands
" is enabled).
Note:
See OI383 for more information about Gateway Emergency Groups.
Activating Local Emergency Commands
Keyfob initiates Local Emergency Commands
: When enabled (checked), if an Emergency Command is ini-
tiated from an RR-4BKEYFOB
Wireless Remote Release
, the paired lock will immediately change state accord-
