Anti-tamper and anti-pulling switches
Description
The MorphoAccess® VP Series terminal is able to detect two kinds of unusual events:
• the front glass is removed, by monitoring anti-tamper switches
• the terminal is removed from the wall, by monitoring the anti-pulling switches
When one of those events is detected, the MorphoAccess® VP Series terminal acts as
required by the related configuration key (see section below):
• Ignore the event (default) : useful during normal maintenance operations
• Send an alarm message to a distant system through the channel already used by
the access control result messages (see Sending the access control result to a
distant system section).
• Emits a local audible and visual signal (see Terminal states section)
The format of the alarm message is described in the MorphoAccess® Remote
Messages Specification document.
