How do you connect an Automatic Door to a fire alarm panel?????

[yoz7241]

Anyone know how to connect a bi parting automatic door to a fire alarm panel, i think i know where it connects into the panel but have no experience with these doors!!!
I need to open the door when the fire alarm panel is in fire mode!!!
The Board is a "Sabre"!!!
Any help on this would be grateful!!!

I would say you need a fire alarm interface or input/output unit adjacent to the door, that is sitting on the fire alarm loop.

There will also be a relay somewhere in the door controller which will be specifically for fire alarm contacts. With this you can pretty much make it do what you want, although I dont know if you can have them to remain open in the event of fire, more than likely just to be free opening.....some further investigation is needed on your part.

Do you have a design spec for this job???
