7Authorized Use
To use the door, the manager must insert the
Control Key and turn it to the right and hold it
for about three seconds until the green light
appears. The Alarmed Key Switch (AKS) will
make a chirping sound whenever the control key is
inserted, and will stop as soon as key is
removed. This will alert staff that door is about
to be opened, and also encourage manager to
remove the key. GREEN means GO. If you have a
green light, you can use the door. If you dont
have a green light, you cannot use the door
without the siren sounding.
8Once you have a green light the digital LED will
begin its countdown from 0 to 8, and you can open
the door. When the door is open, the red light
will come on. The door must be closed before the
counter reaches number 8, or the siren will
sound. Anytime during the countdown more time
can be obtained by turning the Key-switch, it
will restart the counter at zero. ( chirping
stops when key is removed) This reinforces
supervision at regular intervals during extended
deliveries. When the door is closed the red
light will go out, the green light will go out
and the flashing zero will return. The alarm
automatically resets as soon as the door is
closed.
9unauthorized use
- Whenever someone opens the backdoor without a
green light the siren will sound until an
authorized person with the control key either - (a) approves activity, inserts control key, gets
a green light and activates the timer. - (b) does not approve activity, closes the door,
and inserts control key to turn the siren off. - This gives managers the immediate opportunity to
discipline employees - every time they do not follow the backdoor
protocol. - The backdoor will never be opened without manager
knowledge. - Managers will easily identify problem employees.
- Employees will quickly learn to stay away from
the backdoor without authorization.
