Exit Alarm Controller
The Exit Alarm Controller receives data from the Exit Alarm Receivers and issues an alarm if a transmitter is
detected in the Exit Alarm Zone, and the door is open. The Exit Alarm Controller contains a keypad, and/or
card reader access device, that allows authorized staff to reset the system after an alarm. The Exit Alarm
Controller is the device that triggers the alarm process for the Central Server and Staff Alert. For more
information about the Exit Alarm Controller, see the Delayed Egress Exit Alarm Controller Installation
Guide (PN 0510-1023).
Card Reader Access Device
The Card Reader Access device can be connected to the Exit Alarm Controllers in order to use access cards
for triggering bypass cycles and resetting alarms on the Exit Alarm Controller. The Card Reader Access
device can be an HID proximity card reader or a magnetic/bar code card reader (available at RF
Technologies).
The Card Reader is interfaced through an RS-232 serial communications port between the Card Reader and
the Exit Alarm Controller. The Card Reader and the Exit Alarm Controller may share a common power
supply feed.
The Exit Alarm Zone
An Exit Alarm Zone is the area within range of a door, elevator, hallway, or stairwell that is being monitored
by the system. If a transmitter is detected in an Exit Alarm Zone and the door is open, an alarm sounds at the
exit. If the door is equipped with a CodeLock, when a transmitter enters the Exit Alarm Zone and the door is
closed, it will lock.
The devices that are used in an Exit Alarm Zone are an Exit Alarm Controller, Magnetic Reed Switches, and
Exit Alarm Receivers. Optional devices include CodeLock™ electromagnetic locks, passive infrared (PIR)
detectors, and an External Reset/Bypass Keypad.
