When co ontrolling multiple door lo

d
integratio system’s VRC0P driv (HAI, Elk, RTI, etc.) f battery op
on ver for perated secure devices to ensure
all contro and status update mes
ol s ssages go th
hrough The delay should allow the V
d VRC0P drive to
er
confirm the update is received fo the first loc before se
s or ck ending the co ontrol commmand to the s
second
lock and any subsequent locks. Without the delay, if mu ltiple door lo
W ocks are conntrolled
simultane eously, the status updat for the fir lock will c
s tes rst ommands fo the
collide with the control co or
second lo ock. This action will clog the network with traffic
