Problem (Issue) Statement:

Wiring termination for emergency break glass to XP-M1000i and XP-M2000i controllers and configuring the extra input on controllers to monitor emergency break glass (EBG) status on xPortalNet software.

Description:

Emergency break glasses were installed at site as a measure to ensure that the system is fail-safe in the event of an emergency. When the glass is broken, the emergency break glass will cut power to the electromagnetic lock allowing users to escape using the opened door.

To prevent misuse of the emergency break glass, the xPortalNet software can be used to monitor the device status. Under this configuration, if the emergency break glass is activated, the software will be prompted of the event and a transaction will be recorded.
