4.1.8 Reader Connections
All PAC readers have 4 terminals; +V, VCA, SIG and -V. Each reader is connected to the door
controller reader 1 or reader 2 terminal block. The door controller has 2 further connections,
DC and RTE. These provide door/cable monitoring and request to exit inputs respectively.

4.2.1 Wiring Detail
Figure 12 Request to Exit Wiring Diagram
Note
As connecting RTE to ground (-V) will always operate the lock, ensure that the request to
exit wiring is not accessible from outside the secure area (e.g. if the reader is removed
from the wall.)
The Request to Exit switch allows persons within the secure area to leave by signalling to the
door controller to operate the lock without using a key. The switch is necessary when door
monitoring is used (see Section 5) to enable the controller to distinguish between a forced door
and a valid exit.
The switch should be 'normally open' which closes momentarily when pressed.
The switch can be located away from the door, for example, at a reception desk or as part of a
door entry system. In which case, it is possible to change the printed event report to Request
for Entry
(see Section 7). More than one switch can be used (if wired in parallel) for a door
if required.
If an attempt is made to keep the door open by holding down the Request to Exit switch, the
door will lock after 5 cycles of the lock release time and, if a printer is fitted, an RTE Button
Held Down report is produced.
