Door Configuration: The door configuration defines the behavior of a door and includes the following parameters:
 
** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Optional. Delete if not required for project.
 
1)
Inbound and Outbound Access Reader(s) - which readers are monitored at this door.
 
** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Optional. Delete if not required for project.
 
2)
Door Switch Monitor (DSM) - usually a simple switch that changes state when the door is opened or closed. The switch, if enabled, connects to a monitored input. If the DSM input becomes active while not shunted, it will generate a Door Forced Open alarm.
3)
Door Shunt Time - how long the DSM should be shunted after the door is opened for access. The configuration may also indicate whether the DSM shall remain shunted for the full shunt time, instead of clearing when the door closes. If the DSM remains active after the shunt time expires, it shall generate a Door Held Open event.
 
** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Optional. Delete if not required for project.
 
4)
Request to Exit (RTE) Input - an input whose activation triggers an access cycle that allows egress through a door. The RTE Input shall be placed on the protected side of the door. The configuration may indicate whether the DSM shall be shunted as long as the RTE is active, and whether the DLR shall be enabled for an RTE access.
 
** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Optional. Delete if not required for project.
 
5)
Door Latch Relay (DLR) - the output which controls the strike for the Door Unlock Time - the length of time, in seconds, that the DLR is energized during a valid access cycle. The DLR is normally energized for a valid access, and de-energized as soon as the door opens, but a Re-lock Delay may cause the DLR to be energized for a number of seconds after the door opens. Access grant decisions based on presented cards, RTE access based on RTE input activation, and host requests for momentary unlock of the door all cause the door to perform a valid access cycle.
6)
ADA Output - an output may be configured to activate at 1 second after the door is unlocked for valid access, for a duration of 1 second when the door is being accessed by cardholders with an ADA flag in their personnel record.
7)
Expanded Shunt Time - For certain cardholders, a longer shunt time may also be configured.
8)
