1.7 Emergency Opening
The PNG are designed to be installed in conjunction with emergency systems such as a fire alarm. The
most reliable method to open the doors in an emergency situation is to shut down the power, because in
this case the PNG doors will open using only the normal gravity without any electronic signal involved.
However there is also an electronic input arranged in a fail safe configuration, which can also open the
PNG doors in emergency egress situation. You may select either method for your emergency opening
function.
We strongly urge you to verify that the selected method is acceptable with your AHJs
.
If you choose to shut down the power to open the PNG in a fire emergency situation, it is essential that the
relay used is not an electronic interrupter. The power must be removed quickly and without slope.
Electronic contactors often remove power in a relatively slow manner in order to reduce arcing of the
contacts and EMI. The use of such device to interface with the PNG optical portals is unacceptable. Use
only mechanical relays with quick transferring contacts. The figure below represents the PNG connection
to the fire alarm systems.
