12. 7. 11. Performing Emergency Door Openings
You can use the PPD to perform an emergency opening if the lock battery dies or a reader error occurs, for example.
NOTE:
You can perform emergency openings of online doors without using a PPD. See Lockdown for more information.
To perform an emergency opening, perform the following steps:
1. Connect the PPD to the PC.
2. Select System > PPD. The PPD information screen is displayed.
Figure 319: PPD information screen
3. Ensure that the appropriate time zone is selected in the Time Zone drop-down list.
Only access points for the time zone you select in the Time Zone panel are shown on the PPD information screen. Note that the Time Zone panel is only displayed if you have enabled the multiple time zones functionality in ProAccess SPACE General options. See Activating Multiple Time Zones and Time Zones for more information.
4. Select the checkbox of the access point for which you want to perform the emergency opening.
You can select more than one access point if required. However, you cannot select access points with different calendars; multiple selections must be controlled by the same calendar. If you select a different time zone from the Time Zone drop-down list, any access points you have previously selected are cleared.
Select the Allow emergency opening checkbox in the Actions To Do panel.
The checkbox is greyed out if you have set emergency opening as a default option in ProAccess SPACE General options. See PPD Tab for more information. Otherwise, you must select it each time you want to perform an emergency opening.
Type a password for the emergency opening in the Password field if required.
The password can only contain digits. If you type a password, you must enter this password in the PPD before you can perform the emergency opening. Otherwise, the PPD does not require a password. The Password field is greyed out if you have set emergency opening as a default option in ProAccess SPACE General options and entered a password there already for the option. See Devices Tab for more information. Your PPD firmware must be version 01.29 or higher to use this option.
Click Download. The PPD progress screen is displayed.
Wait for the download to complete. A pop-up is displayed confirming that the operation was completed successfully.
Click OK.
You can now use the PPD to perform an emergency opening of the selected access point by selecting Emergency Opening in the PPD’s menu and connecting the PPD to the lock. Note that you are required to enter a password in the PPD if you have enabled this option in either ProAccess SPACE PPD window or ProAccess SPACE Devices window. See the Portable Programming Device by SALTO document for more information about this process.
