At the same time, additional functions can be added to the system at any time as required. The existing hardware remains intact and only a new license needs to be purchased.

The components are available in various designs.

Features

SafeRoute includes several basic components, including several types of door locks and the so-called STL-G door terminal. The latter features an emergency button and a key switch in a surface-mounted housing. Together with the electrical locking system, the door terminal meets the requirements of both BS EN 13637 and EltVTR, the German guideline for electrical locking systems on escape route doors.

"The emergency button can be used with the help of a license card be turned into a control and monitoring panel," Velthuizen continued. "Thereby, the license card determines the different functions. For example, it is possible to monitor and operate a group of up to four escape route doors with one master. Without a license card, the STL-G door terminal can also be used as an additional door terminal for an escape route door as a 'slave' in a group."

Depending on the license card selected, many components can be connected, such as key switches, touch screens, I/0 modulesson and smoke detectors. In addition, the system is suitable for networking or connecting to the building management system.
