FACP INPUT AND NOTIFICATION
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.
Door Access Modes
By default the MPA2C3 is a normal access control panel, operating in Normal Door
Access Mode. The operation and control of the outputs are for access control use.
This mode sets the Door Relays (OUT1, OUT3 (AUX1), OUT2, OUT4 (AUX2)) in fail-
secure operation.
Note: Door outputs or relays (OUT1, OUT3 (AUX1), OUT2, OUT4 (AUX2)) apply to both Push
in terminal blocks and all 4 red Door/AUX RJ45 terminals.
In Normal Door Access Mode all Door Relays (OUT1, OUT3 (AUX1), OUT2, OUT4
(AUX2)) are de-energized when the door is supposed to be locked. To unlock a door
the Door relay must be in energized state.
When additionally, the doors must be unlocked when e.g. a Fire Alarm occurs, then
MPA2C3 panel must be in Reversed Door Access Mode. This mode sets the Door
Relays (OUT1, OUT3 (AUX1), OUT2, OUT4 (AUX2)) in fail-safe operation. See fur-
ther about the conditions and Door Output states in fail-safe operation.
