In the Jack Fuse Power Port installation manuals and online learning, we state that you can use a NC (normally closed) signal from the FIP to control the fire relay on our Power Port modules. We also state that this signal should not be used in parallel to drive other Power Port fire relays. In […]
Don’t use a NC fire alarm signal in parallel for multiple fuse modules. Read More »
The ability to escape a building during a fire alarm event is obviously a vital component of building design that can help ensure occupants’ safety. In Australia there are legislated rules that dictate how this function must be achieved in combination with electronically locked doors. The rules are laid out in the National Construction Code

End of line (EOL) resistor circuits are one of the basic building blocks of security and access control systems. Field devices such as reed switches, duress buttons, motion sensors and locks all use EOL circuits to tell the security panel the device state and help to ensure that the cable serving each device is kept
Why you shouldn’t use the resistors that come with security panels. Read More »
Electric strikes are a popular choice for securing doors, for good reason, they are a cost-effective and versatile option. Electric strikes work with standard door hardware and can be configured to fail secure or fail-safe. They often also have outputs for monitoring the status of the locking solenoid (Lock Status Sensor, LSS) and the position

Electronic security and access control cabling falls under the requirements of the AS/CA S009:2020 Australian Standard. This standard covers the installation requirements for customer cabling and is otherwise known as the “Wiring Rules.” Section 20.4 states: “the Cabling shall be protected from excessive currents or voltages that may cause damage or fire, by such means
