ACTIVATING THE DOOR CLOSURE DELAY SIREN IN INGRESSUS
Because A Mere Second Could Pose Danger to Your Property
Security is an important aspect in every organization nowadays.
Improper security measures may cause bigger problems such as robbery, data
theft or even endanger the safety of a person. Even with the proper access
control products installed, the security of a building may be compromised if
the door is not closed properly after a person has entered the premises. Hence,
it is an advantage when the access control device triggers the siren when the
door is not shut properly.
As we all know, Fingertec’s standalone access-control devices are
equipped with the function to trigger the internal or external alarm siren when
the door is not closed within the pre-defined time. However, not many know that the same can be
done for Ingressus, via the Ingress software. Simply follow the steps below to
activate the external siren for during the exit delay period.
Alarm System Requirements
The requirement for this setup is a door, which has been installed
with Ingressus that is paired with any of Fingertec’s slave devices and a door
sensor.
Connect and Power Up
The External Siren
First of all, you must connect an external siren to the
Auxiliary output port at Ingressus.
Please note that Ingressus does not supply the power to the
siren, hence an external power source will be needed to power-up the siren. The
siren must be connected to NO and COM port of AUX output at Ingressus. Refer to
below image for clarification.
Configuring the Door Sensor Type and Delay Time
Next, you will have to configure the door sensor type and
delay time, so that the siren will be triggered when the door is not closed
within the defined time. Simply follow these steps below in Ingress software
Doors > Select
door name > Click “Edit” > Set “Lock Open Duration” to desired time >
Set “Door Sensor Type” to “Normal Close” > Set “Door Sensor Delay” to
desired time > Save > Sync to device
Setting Up The Fire
Alarm Zone
After setting up the door, you will need to configure the
Fire Alarm zone to trigger the Auxillary Output when Ingressus detects that the
door has been left open exceeding the “Door Sensor Delay” time. Follow these
steps below to configure the Fire Alarm Zone:
Zone (Ingressus) >
Fire Alarm > Right Click > Add Zone > Rename to desired name >
Right Click > Select device (Ingressus) > Click at device name > Click
“Edit” > Tick at “Fire Alarm” > Set “Trigger Condition” to “Opening
Timeout” > Set “Input Point Address” > Tick the desired output at “Output
Point Address” > Set “Action Type” to “Open” > Set the “Delay” to desired
value (The amount of time the siren triggers) > Tick “Stop alarm once door
is closed” > Save > Sync to Device
