Integrating Electric Lock Into Alarm System

[elhughesio]

Hi there,

 

I have 1 X banham el4000 electric lock and 1 X EL512 assoy abloy electric lock. They are controlled by paxton compact keypads as well as a home automation system.

 

We have a texecom 48 elite alarm system and i'm wondering if we can wire elements of the lock activation into it. I.e when the latch is released it will trigger an entry on the alarm system.

 

Also curious if it might be possible for a succesfull code on the keypads to not only release the latches but also disarm the alarm.

 

Many thanks

 

Daniel.

It the Paxton that provides the output not the lock so you just need to put a relay on the Paxton output and wire it as a final exit zone, don't forget to change the door contact zone to entry route otherwise it defeats the objective

I wouldn't have it set to disarm the system!

If it was Switch2 or better still Net2 you could integrate it into Texecom that would be more secure.

The Compact readers they are basic so having it disarm and unlock everything is a bad idea IMO.

 

However, in theory yes you can drive a relay from the lock output of the reader.

HI thanks for the reply

 

Will forget about the idea of disarming the alarm. Paxton keypads have the following connections

 

+12v

0V

lock 12v

lock 0v

exit input

exit 0v

bell 12v

bell 0v

 

What would be best to run into the texecom zone?

 

Thankyou.

You'll need to drive a DP relay from the lock output, then send a voltage to your lock from one side and a clean NC pair to your alarm zone.

It's not as simple as linking them together you will blow something.

I s..s...s..simply adore relays SixWheeledbeast, think I'll give your method a try.
