What is the function of emergency override systems in EAC?

The function of emergency override systems in Electronic Access Control (EAC) is primarily to allow for manual access even when electronic permissions might restrict entry. In situations where electronic systems may fail, such as power outages or system malfunctions, the emergency override ensures that authorized personnel can still gain entry and respond to emergencies effectively. This capability is essential for ensuring safety and security during unforeseen circumstances, allowing essential operations to continue seamlessly.

Other functions, such as providing manual access during maintenance or disabling all electronic systems, do not capture the main purpose of emergency overrides, which is focused on ensuring access during emergencies instead of routine operations or maintenance tasks.
