When fire safety and access control meet
»»WITH THE NEW INNOVATIVE
Briton 571 EL solution, Allegion has
created the first Briton electromechanical
exit device that can be truly integrated
with access control.
In high footfall buildings such as
schools, offices and hospitals, it is often
the case that employee and staff entrances
will also be one of the fire exits for the
building. In these situations, facility
and security managers must satisfy
two competing requirements: firstly,
ensuring the door has a fully functional
and compliant panic exit device, secondly
allowing easily monitored safe and secure
access.
From inside the building, Briton 571
EL works like a normal panic exit device,
instantly opening to allow immediate
exit. However, from the outside, access
can be gained by either using a remote
button to allow entry, or local access via a
keypad or transponder. When these items
are supplied with the new SimonsVoss
MobileKey solution, up to 20 access points
can be securely managed, providing
peace of mind for facility and security
managers.
Domenico Adamo, EMEIA mechanical
business line director at Allegion
comments, “Briton 571 EL combines
access control, with a fully functional
panic exit device to provide a secure
entrance and safe exit. Mechanics meet
electronics to deliver a new security
horizon, in line with the growing needs
of our markets, offering more control,
more flexibility and more freedom of
management.”
Briton 571 EL has been designed to
be surface mounted, making it easy to
install and with cost-effective low power
consumption.
The system can be integrated with
any existing access control system in
place, or it can be installed to provide
seamless integration with the innovative
SimonsVoss MobileKey system, making
this one of Briton’s most exciting product
releases of the year.
Briton 571 EL has achieved CE marking
in accordance with Construction Products
Regulation no. 305/2011/EU, issued by
ICIM, and has voluntary certification
issued by the ICIM according to UNI EN
1125.

Mix and Match
»»VANDERBILT HAS ANNOUNCED THE
availability of a new SPC Enhanced E-BUS
Gateway to facilitate a cost effective
migration strategy for Sintony customers.
This provides Sintony users the ability to
enjoy all of the advantages of the latest
security technology provided in the SPC
range of products, without needing to
finance an entirely new infrastructure.
Migrating from Sintony to the more
sophisticated SPC range is now an option,
as the SPC Enhanced E-BUS Gateway
provides an interface between SPC X-BUS
and Sintony E-BUS. Now Sintony devices
(existing power supply units, transponders
and keypads) are recognised by SPC
controllers. End users can maintain their
existing infrastructure and take advantage
of SPC’s powerful intrusion control
functionality.
Compact and flexible with a slim form
factor, the SPC Enhanced E-BUS Gateway
has been designed so that a variety of
installation options can be supported.
Initial system set-up is simple and can be
carried out via the SPC Web Browser, while
system configuration involves standard
SPC installer tools.
Once set-up is complete, the SPC
Enhanced E-BUS Gateway maps devices
so that the SPC system controller can
identify them. In addition, through the new
SPC controller firmware, each Vanderbilt
MAGIC detector is mapped as a virtual
two zone expander, allowing an increased
number of detectors on the SPC system.
It also facilitates ‘daisy-chain’ networks
in which multiple detectors can be wired
LOCKSMITHJOURNAL.CO.UK | NOV/DEC 2016
together in spur or in a ring, allowing up
to 56 MAGIC motion detectors per SPC
panel to be supported. This detector based
BUS solution further enhances the ability
for end users to take advantage of industry
leading performance and false alarm
immunity.
‘The SPC Enhanced E-BUS Gateway is an
exciting new development for the industry’s
most innovative intrusion product range –
one that has obtained more approvals than
any other system,’ commented Andreas
Straubinger, DACH Market Manager at
Vanderbilt. ‘The introduction of this device
enables communication between the SPC
controller and a wide range of peripherals,
allowing end users to mix and match SPC
X-BUS and E-BUS devices to form a hybrid
network, which is managed by SPC. Just as
importantly, it means that existing devices
and peripherals can be utilised within an
SPC solution, saving time and money.
