5.2.2.2 Door Monitoring

The door controller has the ability to monitor a door contact if a door contact is fitted:

• Unauthorized Access Alarms giving warning of a forced door.

• Door Left Open Warning after a set period of time has expired and the door is still open. The time is

set when the controller is programmed.

• Cancellation of Lock Release Time allows the door to lock after someone has passed through even

though the lock release time has not expired.

The door contact should be a normally closed switch that is open whenever the door is open. Care should

be taken when fitting door contacts to ensure that they operate only when the door is opened and close

only when it is secure again.

To help prevent false alarms:

• Keep reed switches away from large magnetic fields, such as those generated by magnetic locks.

This is a particular problem with metal door frames.

• Ensure that the switch does not operate if the door moves in its frame, in draughty or windy

conditions.

• An efficient door closer should be fitted that secures the door once someone has passed through.
