Both the reader and the electronic locking device are connected to the Controller.
|
|
The Controller is programmed via a PC with the EntraPass software. The information programmed into the Door Controller is: card number, access rights and time zones applicable to that card (Who, Where and When).
|
|
A cardholder presents the card to the reader.
|
|
The reader then transmits the card details to the Controller it is attached to.
|
|
The controller makes the decision as to whether or not the card that has just been badged is valid for that point of entry at that particular time.
|
|
If the card is valid the Door Controller will release the locking device securing the door. If the card is not valid the Door Controller will not release it.
|
|
To come back through the door there are the following options:
Use a Request to Exit button.
Use a T-Rex.
Use another reader, on the same controller; known as read in, read out.
Use a mechanical handle (dependent upon the device securing the door).
Use a Break Glass unit in the event of a fire. |
