Emergency > Emergency Lock Down - Alarm Lock ArchiTech Series User Manual

Emergency > Emergency Lock Down
Selecting Emergency Lock Down sends a command to all Gateways (in the selected Gateway Groups) to immediately lock
all of their assigned wireless locks, thus securing the protected doors from unwarranted passage. In an Emergency Lock
Down state, all Administrative Users (User Numbers 1-11) can still unlock the physical lock. In addition, all Users added to
the Emergency Users list (see page 43) can unlock the physical lock.
From the Emergency Commands screen, click the Emergency Lock Down button.
The following Emergency View screen appears:
Once all locks assigned to the Gateway receive the selected Emergency Command, the status will return
"Emergency Lock Down" (highlighted red). In the above image, notice how the status of the second
Gateway displays "Unable to verify lock status" highlighted in yellow. This indicates that one or more locks
assigned to the Gateway may not have received the Emergency Command. Therefore, the Emergency View
screen cannot be closed and the Emergency Command will be re-tried based upon the Set Emergency Attempts
selection or until the Abort Retries button is intentionally clicked.
The following modes will be overridden by an Emergency
Lock Down Command :
Normal mode (" non-Emergency")
●
Emergency Passage mode
●
Passage mode (via keypad Function 45)
●
Scheduled Passage Mode (via " unlock" Schedule)
●
Note: Once in Emergency Lock Down, the wireless
physical lock(s) may be placed in Passage mode manually
(using keypad Function 48).
Emergency Lock Down Indication
● In DL-Windows: At the bottom of the DL-Windows
"Main Screen", a bar will flash from red to yellow with
the text "Emergency Lock Down" blinking continuously
until a subsequent "Return to Normal" command is re-
ceived (see image at the bottom of this page).
● At Physical Lock: Red LED blinks once every two
seconds.

IMPORTANT: Threats such as fire emer-
gencies, bomb threats or the release of haz-
ardous substances within a protected premis-
es may require an "Emergency Passage"
Command to allow for a facility evacuation.
Other threats such as terrorist attacks, hostile
intruder situations, the outdoor release of
hazardous substances, tornado emergencies
and other life-threatening events, may require
an "Emergency Lock Down" - the opposite of
a facility evacuation.
It is strongly advised that all facilities develop
separate Emergency Lock Down and Emer-
gency Passage procedures appropriate for
the specific premises, and these Emergency
procedures be frequently practiced and con-
tinually refined.
