Auxiliary Relay; Request To Exit Input - HID ENTRYPROX User Manual

EntryProx User Manual, 4045-905, Rev. C.4

5.2 Auxiliary Relay

The EntryProx unit has an auxiliary relay feature that allows for customized alarm programming.
Pins 1, 2, and 3 on the P2 connector can be wired for one of the following alarm outputs:
 Alarm shunt
 Forced or propped door
The alarm shunt operation allows you to use the auxiliary relay to bypass a door contact that is
monitored by a separate alarm system. If the entry or exit is controlled by the EntryProx unit, an
intrusion alarm will not be generated if the door is opened using an access card or PIN number, or
by pressing the REX button.
The forced or propped door alarm allows you to use the auxiliary relay to provide a local warning,
such as an audible or visual indicator if:
 A door is opened without using an access card or PIN number at the EntryProx unit.
 A door is legitimately opened but is held open too long.
Note: The auxiliary relay audible and visual indicators and the door open times can be programmed.
See Section 10: Programming Commands for more information.

5.3 Request to Exit Input

When the EntryProx Request to Exit (REX) input receives a momentary switch closure, it engages
the main relay for the programmed access time. It can be connected to a wall-mounted exit button,
to a push button under a reception desk, or to the relay output of a passive infrared motion
detector mounted above the door on the secure side. The Request to Exit input activates the alarm
shunt to prevent false alarms when personnel use the controlled door to exit the secured area. The
Transaction Log records all Request to Exit usages for monitoring purposes.
Locate connector P2 on the main circuit board and remove the 2-pin jumper installed on pins
5 and 6.
Notes:
 If you do not use a door contact, you need to twist the white and orange wires together or
the REX input will not function properly.
 The door contact must be closed for the Request to Exit feature to work properly
