Isolating shutter via Relay


Recommended Posts

Got a customer who has a electric shutter operated via rocker switch concerned if intruder gets in through roof as easy access. They can just open up from inside, could I isolate the inside switch through a relay on the Intruder Set Output, Where do you stand on trapping "intruder" inside seems a very grey area ?

Better detection near roof and master blaster

Has the roller shutter not got manual chain override?

I cant see a problem with disabling the electrical side of the shutter, give the Police more time to get there.

We have a unit that was done over last year and the insurance company have requested a padlock from floor to shutter and the manual chain to stop the scumbags opening it.

Intruder has gained access by circumventing a locked door - so if door remains locked, nil problemo.

 

I agree that it could be a grey area if, say, intruder was able to walk into somewhere without the use of tools or equipment then not be able to leave, i.e an open gate into a car sales forecourt that then locked itself.

 

That said it never seemed to be an issue with those pushbutton-to-exit-if-you-haven't-got-a-shotgun bank lobbies that seemed popular circa 2000 but now are usually swept away at refurb time. Nationwide seemed to use them a lot?

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands
