Understanding locks in the ATRIUM software
Introduction
Typically, locks are used to control door lock devices such as door strikes and electromagnetic devices.
Each controller includes two door locks and supports up to four 2-Door Expansion Modules which provide an additional 2 door locks each. Therefore, each controller can monitor the state of up to 10 door locks.
Modifying a Door Lock
From the Hardware tab, click on the Locks icon, select a lock from the list and click on the Properties button.
