How-to: AEC Common Alarm Output


What conditions activates Relay 8 on the first reader board?

Relay 8 is the common alarm output. 

The Common Alarm is triggered from the following events occurring anywhere on the system:

  • Door Forced Open

  • Door Held Open

  • Alarm from an Input Point

  • AC Power Failure

  • Keypad Duress

 The common alarm output is reset after the event has cleared and the alarm event has been acknowledged in the transaction display of the web interface.
