The Door Opener can be disabled using a custom application through programming in the Configurator utility. This application is required in scenarios where a manual egress is used instead of the automatic Door Opener. In this application, the pushbutton input is still required. This input can be configured with a request to exit motion detector or a pushbutton microswitch. It must shunt the door contact so that an unauthorized access (e.g. Door Forced Open) event is not generated. Follow the steps below to configure the custom application.
- Open Configurator and click on the Entrances icon.
- Select the appropriate door and click the edit door icon.
- Under input signal definitions, remove the door opener in output signals by highlighting it and clicking on the red X icon.
- Click on the Outputs icon and find the appropriate output for the door opener.
- Click on the Add icon for activations, and then add an activation for ‘Access’ on ‘Reader’. Select the appropriate reader number for the specified entrance.
- Set the duration of the output to the door activation time.
Note: The door activation time will not deactivate if the door contact closes, so this may create a potential for tailgating. This is a change in functionality from the Entrance’s control of the Door Opener.
