Global Lockdown
A Global Lockdown is when all of the doors are automatically locked during a Cut Band or Band Off alarm.
If a door is already open at the time a Cut Band or Band Off alarm occurs or if a door is opened at any time
while the system is in Global Lockdown:
• an alarm sounds at the Exit Alarm Controller
• a message is displayed on the Client computer(s) in the unit configured to monitor the
door and on all Quick Look Displays for that unit
• the location of the Exit Alarm is indicated by a flashing icon on the map on the Client
computer(s)
If your facility has enabled the Lockdown on Cut Band Alarms or Lockdown on Band Off Alarms feature, a
Cut Band Alarm or Band Off triggers a Global Lockdown. You can configure the Global Lockdown feature
to lock doors at All exits or By transmitter units. However if a Cut Band or Band Off alarm is triggered during
an Escort or a Transfer, the system automatically locks All exits and posts the alarms on all Client
computer(s). This is because the transmitter in Escort or Transfer may be outside of its protected unit.
NOTE: When a transmitter is configured as a low priority asset transmitter, a Cut Band
Alarm will not trigger a Global Lockdown. High Priority configured asset transmitters
will trigger a Global Lockdown.
