Fire Alarm Zone
This feature control how doors will respond during the case of fire. External inputs can be fed into the BioStar system to automatically trigger door releases or perform other actions.
To connect Fire alarm control system, we need to use extra input port which is not using.
Let’s say, there is one Suprema device and one secure IO. You can use an extra input of SIO inputs to the output port of the fire alarm control panel.
If we make the fire alarm zone and connect the input of Suprema device from fire alarm control panel, a door will release automatically as soon as a device detects the input.
