Technician Notes

• Confirm the installed operator manual lists KNX-1 / 113396.0001.S before ordering this accessory.
• Confirm local AHJ or fire department requirements before installing. Emergency access hardware may need specific keying, location, labeling, height, and approval.
• Do not assume this item includes a fire department-approved lock cylinder, key, micro switch, wiring harness, or mounting hardware unless the supplier package confirms it.
• Confirm whether the operator fire input requires normally open, normally closed, momentary, maintained, or other contact behavior before wiring.
• Fire access wiring should be kept separate from normal access control logic where required by the operator and local code.
• If the gate opens unexpectedly or stays open after fire access wiring is connected, check input status, relay/contact type, switch operation, wiring shorts, and operator menu settings before replacing parts.
• Do not use the fire access box to bypass monitored photo eyes, monitored safety edges, inherent entrapment protection, loop detector logic, or operator safety circuits.

• Confirm whether the package includes enclosure, lock cylinder, keys, switch, wiring, mounting hardware, labels, or instructions.
• Confirm the problem is not caused by the operator fire input, damaged wiring, incorrect relay logic, stuck contact, programming issue, or a different access control device.

Professional Advisory

Fire access equipment is tied to emergency access and should be coordinated with the local authority having jurisdiction. Incorrect installation can prevent emergency responders from entering, cause unwanted gate operation, or interfere with access control and safety circuits. Fire access wiring should be installed by a qualified gate/access control technician familiar with the operator fire input, relay logic, monitored safety devices, and local emergency access requirements. Do not bypass fire access equipment, monitored entrapment protection, photo eyes, safety edges, fuses, grounding, or operator control safeguards.
