Configuring FACP input functionality
FACP input functionality
The MPA2C3 has a dedicated fully hardware controlled FACP (Fire Alarm Control
Panel) input, intended to unlock all doors when triggered with the highest priority,
overriding any current access control setting.
When connected to a Fire system and there is a fire alarm, this function allows peo-
ple to easily evacuate a premises and allows first responders to easily enter
unlocked areas.
To make this function fully effective hardware AND software configuration need to
be made on the MPA2C3.
