Overlooking the fire alarm system could cause an unexpected, and costly, delay to your access control system installation.
Most fire authorities require all the doors are automatically unlocked during a fire alarm emergency to ensure a fast evacuation of the occupants and a smooth entry for the firefighters to do their job. This means the door locking methods (typically electric strikes or electro-magnetic locks)—that are powered and controlled by an Access Control Unit (ACU)—must be kept unlocked during a fire alarm emergency.
