AgsDave 2 Posted May 14 Just taken over a couple of ATS systems that have access on a few external doors. Do these systems not have a timed egress function. Every one you have to hold the rte and open the door, rte just wired across the lock feed. Seems like a bodge way of doing it to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not familiar with the ATS systems, but most access control panels have a RTE input. Normally the symptom you describe is because the RTE is wired into the controller as normally closed when it should be normally open or vice versa.

Allot of single door controllers are like this cheaper stuff so don't suprise me on the ats Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

datadiffusion 607 Posted May 15 Slightly surprised there isn't a zone attribute called Rex though, Siemens has both Rex zone and dedicated Rex on the door card iirrc. Not sure about texe?

james.wilson 705 Posted May 15 dont know it but even the micromax has an input. Id assume it was wired wrong. Once met someone that thought wiring the breakglass to the rte was better than breaking the power as it allowed for programming!!! 3 Quote securitywarehouse https://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Nova-Security 108 Posted May 15 Have a look for a Door RAS ATS1170 they have a RTE button input which is timed programmable Quote www.nova-security.co.uk www.nsiapproved.co.uk No PMs please unless i know you or you are using this board with your proper name.

AgsDave 2 Posted May 16 Thanks for the replies. Was just curious as to why the rte was inline with the lock feed, and if I was missing something obvious. They look to be done using a transistor driven relay straight off the reader with data to the panel, And not via a door controller card. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
