How to set up Interlock APE
Example Interlock: Door 1 needs to be closed before you can open Door 2.
Note: It only works with 2 Doors.
Example of door configuration:
Notice: If only one door is defined as part of a door-complex then the synchronization is not active.
Door #1 configuration:
- Door #1: Door contact assigned to input#1
- Output for the maglock assigned to output #1
- Entrance locked assigned to input #3
- Input #3 is connected to output #4 (lock opposite direction)
- When input #1 is opened, it triggers output #3 that is connected to input #4 and it disables reader at Door#2
The output signal (Out 3) is to be set potential free (dry mode). The signal "door lock of opposite direction" must be closed (resistance=0) when de-energized. Use the "normally closed" (NC) contact of output 3.
Configuration for Door 2:
- Door #2: Door contact assigned to input#2
- Output for the maglock assigned to output #2
- Entrance locked assigned to input #4
- Input #4 is connected to output #3 (lock opposite direction)
- When input #2 is opened, it triggers output #4 that is connected to input #3 and it disables reader at Door#1
