NAV IP Access controller
or multiple alarm outputs. Alarm components, configuration basics, and menu settings are introduced
below.
5.9.1 Components for Alarm
NAV Controller consists of two basic components: one main module and one door module. Users can
additionally install three more door modules and one alarm module.
These three types of modules are all equipped with alarm function. The main module has 2 alarm inputs
and 2 alarm outputs, called Main Alarm Output and Auxiliary Alarm Output respectively.
Each door module has 2 alarm outputs, which usually react to alarm events on the corresponding door.
However, it can be set to react to other alarm events as well. Alarm outputs on the door module can
connect up to 5A external alarm devices.
The alarm module has 8 alarm inputs and 8 alarm outputs. 8 alarm inputs can connect to external alarm
input devices, such as PIR motion sensor, glass sensor and etc. 8 alarm outputs can connect up to 2A
external alarm devices.
The above mentioned are physical devices providing alarm functions
User can freely define the allocation of any input to any output. The following section outlines basic
concepts for events, alarm and configuration.
5.9.2 Alarm Configuration Basics
NAV Controller keeps track of all events in the access control system, either legal or illegal, either normal
or abnormal. For example, access granted, access denied and so on.
Some events are critical which must trigger the alarm output, like the firm alarm input, the zone alarm
input and etc. But some events are not that important to trigger the alarm output, like the denied access
due to the invalid time. These settings all depend on the users' requirements. NAV Controller collects all
events that might trigger the alarm output and provides the full capacity to enable or disable the alarm
output on these events.
Sometimes user wants to allocate a particular event to a particular alarm output, or allocate alarm
inputs in certain area to multiple alarm outputs. NAV Controller delivers all the function and flexibility
user need. User can define whether certain event will trigger an alarm, and can further specify to which
alarm output that event is allocated.
All events that might trigger an alarm are listed below:
Alarm input 0~9, unknown card, expired card, invalid card, invalid door, invalid time, card anti‐pass back
fail, card PIN fail, SYS PIN fail, ARM PIN fail, door forced open, door held open, reader lost, and remote
alarm.
All these events can be allocated to any alarm relay output on main module, door module, and alarm
module. The detailed configuration method is introduced in the following section.
