The access control experts at it again

[Nick Markowitz Jr.]

working at a plant where i need to tie in the existing card access
controllers into a fire alarm so mag locks release and what a mess they used
Keri tiger controllers which work well but the wiring is a mess not one of
the altronix power supplys is properly wired and grounded they used 2
conductor exstension cord wire and thru same un bushed wire hole as the low
voltage wiring and none of the mag locks have exit buttons wired to them
just a motion. Got hold of plant manager and showed him all the definate
code violations and how his employees could get trapped and he called the
company that put the shit in and told him everything is perfectly fine the
way it was put in so he called local FM who came in saw what was wrong and
called the access experts and told them to get there butts in the plant and
fix it proper or be fined.
so now the acess experts are all torqued of awe poor things.

I try to avoid using mag locks in first place and go instead for strike
release locks no need for motion or exit button becuse it allows free access
from inside I also forgot to mention the access experts had more then one
mag lock in an exit path as well another big no no
