This procedure tests the configuration to ensure it is working as expected.
Prerequisites:
Perform the following steps:
- While viewing the Strike tab, click Manual Override, select an
Override Type and confirm that the Status changes to Unlocked as expected:
- For a door with an electric strike mechanism, the mechanism energizes the strike magnet to lock the door after the override
Time.
- For a door with mag lock, the contact closes to lock the door after the override
Time.
- While viewing the Sensor tab, open and close the door to verify that the sensor reports when the door is open.
- Assign a schedule on the Strike tab that sets up the door to be currently locked, then open the door.
- On the Sensor tab, verify that the sensor generates a door forced alarm.
- Open the alarm console and acknowledge the alarm.
- While viewing the Exit Request tab, issue a request to exit through the door and verify that
Status changes to Active and that, even though the schedule indicates the door should be locked, the sensor does not generate an alarm.
Best practice: All doors should be configured to function the same way regardless of the locking mechanism.
