Wiring Method for High-Security Mode
Feature Introduction
- The high-security mode architecture offers several advantages:
- Power Failure Continuation: A backup mechanism for uninterrupted operation during power outages.
- Centralized Control: Electric locks, open door buttons, and door position detection are all centralized in the equipment room, reducing the risk of I/O control leakage.
- Advanced Anti-Tailgating: Support for interlock control of up to 8 doors to prevent unauthorized entry.
