Fire alarm interface
The Hub includes a FIRE IN input that can be connected to an isolated relay driven by a fire alarm system. Do not connect this input to a power supply
Configure the sense of the relay (normally open or normally closed) using the slide switch on the Hub (a red indicator lights up when the fire condition is indicated). A loop resistance greater than 500 kOhms will be interpreted as Open and a loop resistance less than 500 Ohms will be interpreted as Closed
When the FAI is used, you can configure each lock to unlock in response to the fire condition
For each lock, set the corresponding fire override slide switch to on. Note that you must set the power-to-lock/power-to-open switch correctly to ensure that the lock will unlock during a fire condition
When using the FAI feature, the installation must be tested and approved by the relevant fire authority to ensure that the behavior results in a system that is safe
For any power-to-open locks, do not rely on this feature for safety, as failures elsewhere in the system can result in power loss to the lock
This feature is not a substitute for mechanical overrides or break-glass disconnects at the exit door to allow for safe exit from the building in the event of an emergency
