Break glass for commercial premises unlock doors from inside in an emergency

Four stores within a shopping hub remain closed a week after a large fire hit the premises. When the fire of Saturday, June 16 was at its peak, 26 businesses were forced to shut in the Suffolk precinct. Alex Wilson, community director at St Edmundsbury Borough Council, said: “I think we're talking weeks before the building is made safe and secure.” One shop alone estimates it has lost £10,000 of stock due to smoke damage.

The T3510 Low Cost 4 Scanner Controller is one of many access control products for commercial premises from Tensor that features fire roll call and fire alarm technology. Incorporating .NET PC Based software, the ‘two-doors, scan entry and exit’ is a typical two door access control application using a Smart Card reader to gain entry and exit. This set-up has the advantage of recording who entered and who left the building, essential for accurate Fire Roll Call. Break glasses unlock the door, from the inside, in an emergency.
