Access Control
Automatically releases turnstiles and electronic doors during emergencies while maintaining control during normal operation.
Overview
Firebee integrates access control systems to its central unit through repeaters with activation relays, allowing turnstiles, electronic doors, and third-party barriers to be commanded by the Firebee central unit during a fire emergency.
Access Control Devices integrated with the SDAI (Fire Detection and Alarm System) are essential solutions that combine security and automation, enabling turnstiles, electronic doors, and other access control mechanisms to operate in coordination with the fire alarm system. These devices ensure that, in emergency situations, the flow of people is managed safely, automatically releasing physical barriers to facilitate evacuation while maintaining access control during normal operations.
Under normal conditions, Turnstiles and Electronic Doors maintain entry and exit control, allowing access only to authorized individuals, whether through cards, biometrics, or passwords. However, in an emergency such as a fire, the SDAI sends an automatic signal to the access control devices, releasing turnstiles and doors to allow the rapid and safe evacuation of all occupants. This system ensures that no one is trapped in controlled areas during an emergency and that escape routes are fully accessible.
Furthermore, these Access Control Devices integrated with the SDAI can be configured to secure specific areas where the fire is located, ensuring that only authorized personnel have access to those areas to assist in firefighting or emergency containment. This integration significantly improves safety by enabling a coordinated response between access control and emergency management, reducing panic and increasing the efficiency of evacuations in large buildings and industrial facilities.
These solutions are essential for corporate buildings, hospitals, shopping centers, and other high-traffic locations where access control is necessary during normal times but occupant safety must be prioritized in emergency situations.
