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.
