7.
The Auxiliary input is used as a means of disabling the NanoQuest relay output while the presence of
an external condition is not compatible with Users entering the restricted area. An example of this is
when an Intruder Alarm is armed, it would be necessary to prevent authorised personnel inadvertently
entering the building and triggering the alarm (see section 6.1).
The use of the Auxiliary input is not restricted to intruder alarm applications. It can be used wherever
it is necessary to employ an additional restriction on access. Here are a few examples:
If the NanoQuest is used for vehicle access, the Auxiliary input can be connected to a vehicle

A master key switch can be connected to the Auxiliary input to allow the NanoQuest to be disa

bled manually by a supervisor.
Certain access devices such as turnstiles may need to inhibit the strike relay while they are

operating.
In an ‘air-lock’ configuration where 2 doors are linked and only one of the doors can be open at

any one time.
The Auxiliary input does not need to be configured. It simply requires a ground condition to inhibit the
operation of the NanoQuest. Therefore the unit will function as normal if the input is not wired.
