The Ever<strong>Access</strong> Flex controller consists of two basic components: one main module<br />

and one door module. Up to 3 additional door modules and 1 alarm module can be<br />

added to expand beyond 2 doors.<br />

These three types of modules are all equipped with an alarm function. The main module<br />

has 2 alarm inputs, corresponding to fire alarm and Alarm In 0. It has 2 alarm outputs as<br />

well, called Main Alarm Output and Auxiliary Alarm Output respectively.<br />

Each door module has 2 alarm outputs, which usually react to alarm events at the<br />

corresponding door. However, it can be set to react to other alarm events as well. Alarm<br />

outputs on the door module can connect to 5A external alarm devices.<br />

The alarm module has 8 alarm inputs and 8 alarm outputs. 8 alarm inputs can connect<br />

to external alarm input devices, such as PIR motion sensors, glass break sensors, etc. 8<br />

alarm outputs can connect to 2A external alarm devices.<br />

The Ever<strong>Access</strong> Flex controller tracks all events in the access control system, whether<br />

allowed or disallowed, normal or abnormal. For example, all access granted events and<br />

all denied access events are recorded.<br />

Some events are critical and must trigger an alarm output, like the firm alarm input, the<br />

zone alarm input, etc. But some events are not important and should not trigger an<br />

alarm output, like access denied due to an invalid time. These settings all depend on the<br />

users’ requirements. The controller collects all events that might trigger the alarm output<br />

and provides the full capacity to enable or disable the alarm output based on these<br />

events.<br />

Sometimes a user may wish to allocate a particular event to a particular alarm output, or<br />

allocate alarm inputs in a certain area to multiple alarm outputs. The Flex controller<br />

delivers all the function and flexibility needed to do so. Users can define whether certain<br />

events will trigger an alarm, and can further specify to which alarm output that event is<br />

allocated.<br />
