Wiring help - Automatic door and reader

Recommended Posts

Good Day,

 

We are almost there, but not quite.

 

What we need to accomplish,

 

We have an automatic door that needs to be opened with an inside and outside handicap access buttons. There is a reader outside. The automatic door is a dorma ed700. It has a 24 v output and trigger. During the hours of 7-7 the doors should remain unlocked (which i can set by schedule) and buttons in and out should open door and strike stay released. When out of schedule, the reader needs to be swiped, then they can push button for door to open. When going out, the button should release strike and open door all the time.

 

The access control we are using is ICT ProtegeGX.

 

Hopefully someone can help, we are almost there.

 

Thanks!!

Does the door need a momentary trigger to activate a built in timer, or does the door open as long as the trigger is closed? If it's a momentary trigger, it can be done with a 4 pole, dual throw relay (4 separate sets of C, NC, and NO contacts), and that relay is powered by the same power going to any locking device you have on the door. When the door is supposed to be secure, the inside ADA button is tied to the access panel RTE inputs, and the outside ADA button is not tied to anything. When someone pushes the inside button, it triggers the locking device to release, and the relay then sends the pressed button to the door opener. Or, if there is a valid card read, it will enable the outer button to open the door. When the door is set to allow normal access, the relay will connect both buttons directly to the door opener.

 

I made a crude diagram or a 4 pole dual throw relay HERE In my example, the red is for the connection to the INNER door ADA button, the blue is for the OUTER door ADA button. the green is the connection to the access control system RTE input. The yellows and orange are for the door opener trigger (Yellows together, oranges together). This relay is powered with the same wires that power the door locking device, and the connections assume that the locking device POWERS to SECURE the door. It also assumes the buttons are the standard normally open momentary buttons.
