5.3.2 Expansion Board Override HOLD OPEN Command

The Expansion board override command is used when expansion boards are connected to the system. This command will
cause ALL expansion boards connected to the telephone entry system to OPEN or UNLOCK the gate or door that they are
controlling, and will remain in this state until commanded to return to normal operation. This feature is useful when manage-
ment wants to open all gates or unlock all doors - perhaps during an emergency situation as an example.

the DEACTIVATE tone number in place of the HOLD OPEN tone number.

5.3.3 Relay Check

The telephone entry system can be called and a check can be made to determine if any of the relays in the system are in a "hold
open" mode. This check can be useful if your gate (or door) is held open and you suspect that the telephone entry system relay
may be the cause.

2. Press 16 and enter the four-digit MASTER CODE _ _ _ _ (beep).
