Setup External Access Control Devices, What is a Relay?, What is a Door Number?

Page 23 highlights

SetUP "Your Settings" SetUP "Your Settings" Setup External Access Control Devices The unit must have all external access control device options configured into it, before many of the other programming options can proceed. You must tell the unit "what it's wired to" and "how you want the devices to behave." To do this you must know what a "Door" Number is and what a "Relay" is. What is a Door Number? A Number (1-4) YOU assign to the unit to identify the External Access Control Devices wired to it. Up to 4 devices can be connected. Once identified, the unit will keep the Same Door Numbers in other programming. The Internal Keypad is ALWAYS Assigned to Door Number 1. What is a Relay? A relay is a device that reacts to an electric current to activate other devices. Allowing the EL Model to lock or unlock a door/gate, shunt (bypass) alarm contacts, signal an alarm, or turn on a camera wired to a closed-circuit television (CCTV). The relays can be programmed to 5 different modes. The 5 Modes of Operation are: Strike Relay: A Strike Relay controls a door or gate by unlocking or opening it. It does not control any other component associated with a system like Alarms, CCTV, etc. Shunt Relay: A Shunt Relay is normally wired to an alarm and works with strike relays to shunt (bypass) the alarm when the door is opened with a valid access code. If the door is forced open, the system will not shunt the alarm and the alarm will be triggered. CCTV Relay: The camera is wired to a closed circuit television (CCTV). The system's camera is always on. The CCTV relay can be used to control an external recorder or external camera. Alarm Relay: The Alarm Relay will activate another device, such as a siren, when 3 conditions occur. A door is opened without a valid access code, a door is open past the allotted time programmed in, or too many invalid codes are tried. Any of these will trigger the alarm relay. Control Relay: The Control Relay can control another device such as an outdoor or indoor light near the unit. For example, you could configure the system to turn on an entry light through a darkened area after a resident enters a valid access code. The light would then turn off after a specified amount of time. Page 22

A Number (1-4)
YOU

Up to 4 devices can be connected. Once identified, the unit will keep the

What is a Relay?
A relay is a device that reacts to an electric current to activate other devices. Allowing the EL
Model to lock or unlock a door/gate, shunt (bypass) alarm contacts, signal an alarm, or turn on a
camera wired to a closed-circuit television (CCTV). The relays can be programmed to 5 different
modes.
The 5 Modes of Operation are:
Strike Relay:
A Strike Relay controls a door or gate by unlocking or opening it. It does not
control any other component associated with a system like Alarms, CCTV, etc.
Shunt Relay:
A Shunt Relay is normally wired to an alarm and works with strike relays to
shunt (bypass) the alarm when the door is opened with a valid access code. If the door is
forced open, the system will not shunt the alarm and the alarm will be triggered.
CCTV Relay:
The camera is wired to a closed circuit television (CCTV). The system’s
camera is always on. The CCTV relay can be used to control an external recorder or external
camera.
Alarm Relay:
The Alarm Relay will activate another device, such as a siren, when 3
conditions occur. A door is opened without a valid access code, a door is open past the
allotted time programmed in, or too many invalid codes are tried. Any of these will trigger the
alarm relay.
Control Relay:
The Control Relay can control another device such as an outdoor or indoor
light near the unit. For example, you could configure the system to turn on an entry light
through a darkened area after a resident enters a valid access code. The light would then turn
off after a specified amount of time.
