48900 Series USER CONFIGURED INTERLOCK CONTROLLER
The 48900 series PLC interlock controller is a cost-effective method for operating door interlock and mantrap systems with up to nine
doors. The fully integrated controller is a one-board solution that gives the user complete control over the operational logic. Doors may be
normally locked or unlocked, fail safe or fail secure. They may be selectively interlocked or operated independently of the other doors.
Lock relays can be set for either powered or unpowered (dry) contacts.
Switches and jumpers are used to configure the controller for the specific application required. No programming skills are needed. There are three
adjustable on-board timing functions. One timer energizes the door alarm relay if a door is propped open. A second timer controls the unlock time when
enabled. A third timer controls the time that doors remain unlocked during an emergency egress.
The complete system includes a 4 Amp 12 - 24 Volt DC power supply with Fire Alarm Interface in a lockable metal enclosure.

OVERVIEW
The
48900 controller allows for any combination of up to nine
doors to be interlocked by setting the appropriate switches.
The user may set doors for normally unlocked, or normally
locked operation, requiring an access control signal to unlock
when interlocked doors are secure.
There are nine lock control relays that can power locks directly
(wet contact). Each can also operate as dry contact to switch
power by others and for for automatic doors.
The user may select fail secure (relay energizes to unlock the
door) or fail safe (relay energizes to lock the door) operation.
There are nine dry contact outputs to mirror door status back to
access control devices when needed.
Nine powered outputs are provided to light door or lock status
red and green LEDs. Locked door indicating lights show door
status (green when locked but available and red when locked
but not available because an interlocked door is in use). Lights
for unlocked doors show lock status (red when locked, green
when unlocked).

LOCKED DOORS (Fig 1 C)
Any door requiring a request to open (REX) is treated as a locked
door. Closed contacts at the REX will unlock the door for access or
signal automatic door open to operate.
UNLOCKED DOORS
Doors that are normally unlocked unless an interlocked door is open
do not need a request to open. REX input is ignored.

INTERLOCKING DOORS (Fig 1 G)
In the example shown, the switch is moved to the yes (Y) position to interlock
two doors. A table is helpful to visualize relationships. See last page notes
section for blank interlock tables that can be filled out.
Important: one switch is used to interlock two doors. For that reason, door 2
interlock choices start with door 3 since doors 1 and 2 are already selected
under door 1 choices. Door 8 has only a single choice (9) for that reason.

7. FORCED DOOR ALARM ON/OFF
VERIFY CONFIGURATION
RUNNING THE INTERLOCK
INTERLOCKED DOORS
When the system is idle, all doors are closed, no alarms or timers are active and the idle light is lit. When an
unlocked door is opened or a locked door is unlocked and/or opened, interlocked doors lock and remain
unavailable for access.
TRAFFIC LIGHTS
Traffic lights for locked doors show door availability: green when locked but available for access and red
when locked but not available because an interlocked door is in use or a violation alarm is active.
For unlocked doors lights show lock status: red when locked and green when unlocked.
EO - EMERGENCY UNLOCK
The emergency override (EO) unlocks all doors, and disables the interlock. All doors may be opened for
immediate egress. The door violation alarm is disabled while the system is in override.
SYSTEM STATUS (Fig 1 T)
PWR - The power LED lights when the board is connected to 12 – 24 VDC. Verify power is on.
WD – The Watch Dog LED blinks at a constant rate of 3 times per second to indicate that the
program is executing correctly. If the WD stops flashing or flashes at a different rate,
call Dortronics Technical Support.
TMR - When lit, indicates that one of the three timers is running.
PANIC – When lit, indicates that the emergency unlock function is active. All doors are
unlocked.
ALARM – When lit, indicates that the system is in door violation alarm. Make sure all
interlocked doors are closed. For test purposes, jump DPS inputs with wire.
IDLE – When lit, indicates all interlocked doors are closed and the system is waiting.
FORCED DOOR (Fig 1 I)
Select forced door on or off for door violation alarm. When off,
only an interlock violation energizes the door alarm relay. When
ON, opening a locked door without valid REX sounds alarm. Set
to OFF for locked doors with mechanical exit hardware.

AUTOMATIC DOORS
Automatic doors, rollups and motorized sliding doors can be configured as locked doors (the output follows
the REX input if no interlocked doors are open) or they can be treated as unlocked doors where the relay
breaks the “OPEN” request circuit inhibiting the opener when an interlocked door is open.
NOTE: Automatic doors using the locked configuration will open when the emergency override is active.
When configured as unlocked and fail safe, auto doors will not be inhibited or interlocked when the override
is active and will only open when requested. Consult local safety and containment guidance.
ALARM RELAYS
Interlock Violation Alarm: if two interlocked doors are open at the same time, the violation alarm relay
energizes. The violation alarm can be used dry contact or wet contact with a jumper.
When the Forced Door option is enabled, the alarm relay will energize if any locked door opens without a
valid REX.
When the Door Propped option is enabled, the alarm relay energizes when any door is open for a time that
exceeds the Door Propped Timer setting.
Emergency Override Alarm: when the EO input is triggered and/or if the EO timer is running, the panic
alarm relay is energized. Panic relay is dry contact. It may be used to switch power or send an alarm signal
to other equipment.
IMPORTANT:
Override can be triggered by either normally closed or
normally open contacts at the EO input. Select desired
trigger by setting EO switch on interlock switch bank Fig 1G

PROPPED DOOR TIMER
The Door Propped timer, when enabled, begins counting down as soon as any door is open. If the door is
open when the timer expires, the door alarm output relay energizes. Use the rotary control to set the time
delay to any value between 15 seconds to 5 minutes.
EMERGENCY UNLOCK TIMER
The Interlock timer, when enabled, begins timing when the Emergency Unlock input is activated. All doors
remain unlocked and automatic doors remain enabled or open (see page 8) until the timer expires. Set to
any value between 30 seconds and 10 minutes. Emergency unlock overrides System Pause and unlocks all
doors. Door/lock lights go green.
UNLOCK PAUSE TIMER
This is typically used when a momentary REX device is located some distance from the door. The timer
allows the user time to get to the door and open it after making a request for access. The Pause timer,
when enabled, determines the time a locked door remains unlocked after a valid request by access control,
a pushbutton, motion detector or similar device. This only applies to doors that are set as normally locked.
Use the rotary control to adjust the unlock time between 2 and 30 seconds.
DOOR STATUS OUTPUTS (S)
Door Status relays are energized when the associated door is closed. Contacts are dry.
INPUT STATUS INDICATORS (C)
When an input is grounded the input is active, indicated by a lighted LED. The inputs for the 48900
programmable controller are opto-isolated for protection against interference.
Door Position Switches, Magnetic Bond Sensors and similar devices communicate door status - when the
door is closed the switch contacts are closed.
When a door is closed the red input LED for the door will be lighted. This makes it easy to verify interlock
operation and to troubleshoot a new installation. When the door opens, the LED should turn off.
For other REX devices such as Bio-sensors, card readers, motion detectors, pushbuttons, pneumatic
switches and the like, the green input LED should be on when the REX is active.
LOCK RELAY STATUS INDICATOR LED (J)
LEDs indicate that an output relay is energized. With the output set for FAIL SECURE, the relay energizes
to unlock or enable the door. Set for FAIL SAFE the relay energizes to lock or disable the door. Make
connections accordingly.
For verifying desired operation, compare lighted inputs to the lighted relay indicators.

OTHER FEATURES
INTERLOCK BYPASS - SH
Closed contacts at the shunt input bypasses the interlock function. Door
alarms for forced door, interlock violation and propped open are disabled
when interlock is shunted. Locked doors remain locked and require valid
request for access, but there are no interlock restrictions for use.
AUTO ALARM RESET - AR
Closed contacts at the auto-reset input allows the door violation alarm to
end when the violation is corrected. For manual reset, connect a
momentary, normally open switch. The alarm state will end when the
violation is corrected and the reset button is pressed. A keyed switch
can be used to select either auto or manual reset as required. Jumper
the input with wire to make auto reset fixed (as shipped from factory).
EMERGENCY OVERRIDE - EO
Closed contacts at the override input unlock all doors for immediate
egress. The interlock function and the door alarm functions are disabled.
This is in addition to the Fire Alarm input of the 4204-NX power supply,
which drops power to the entire system when triggered.
