Hi Firstly thank you for the video I am in the process of learning and planning a installation with some ZKt inbio460's and a fire alarm. I am not in the US or EU. The facility is in a industrial complex and it is really not a safe option to auto release external doors before the fire department or armed response get there. There will also be a small data center with client data. So my ideas/thinking are as follows 1. on fire alarm the power to internal door mag locks will by cut by a fire relay where all the power runs thru, so they will be open. 2. The entrance will have a REX button but I will also do a pull station in the way you described in the event that someone is inside and the access control malfunctions. 3. The one fire door will have a REX and pull station (The door is also a staff entrance) 4. If no one is there a well marked box kept close with a magnetic door release inside a fireman's isolator to be pulled with a poles with the hook and that will cut all backup power and release external doors. I know it is not code in the US and EU but that's not were I live and if I demonstrate that it is working I will get an official OK. Constructive advice or how it is handled elsewhere in a sensible manner would be appreciated. Fire keys are not really a thing here I want to keep it simple = low tech but also comply with high tech access and IT stuff.
Excellent video
Thank you , great explanation
Thank's for your advice!
