Grade 3 Keypad

[STEWENG]

Does a keypad need to be in the protected/detection area to meet Grade 3?

Also, does the whole building need to be protected or can you select areas/ rooms and leave out others?

If you know the answer can you quote the spec?

Thanks :0))

Your risk assessment will answer that question

it does at any grade

Jesus, this is why we have ended up where we are.

With which sentiment; how is it perceived when you have 2 office units, and a shared keypad in the communal lobby?

 

i.e link set lobby when the last unit closes so the keypad is then within a protected area?

On the subject of keypads and grading I'm still not sure if it's ok to display a systems status at grade 2. I know it can only be displayed for 30 secs at grade 3 but grade 2?

I only ask as I thought it was ok to display at grade 2 but the castle panel we use when defaulted to grade 2 never shows the set status.

Not allowed

[james.wilson]

As above not permitted

Knew castle wouldn't be wrong

I take it it's the same for the 2004 version?

Yes
