MLA EXPO PREVIEW
Codelocks broadens its portfolio
with new door controllers
Codelocks announces
availability of its first
keyless door controller
range, Access by
Codelocks. The new A3
range features three
different models, each
providing proximity
access control without
requiring complex
software purchases,
external programmers
or licensing costs.
» » THE A3 RFID, A3 DUAL AND A3
Vandal Resist door controllers act as a
reader where users present credentials via
a card or code to open a door. Providing
reassurance and an additional layer of
security, Codelocks A3 door controllers
help prevent unauthorised access.
Colin Campbell, managing director
at Codelocks said, “We are extremely
excited to offer a new compact, keyless,
standalone product, Access by Codelocks
to our customers. Our first, off the door
solution provides affordable proximity
access control without the need for
licensing or additional software and is
ideal for retail stores, staff rooms and
offices that require quick, convenient and
effortless access.”
All models include a variety of functions
to suit a wide range of access control
requirements. A3 door controllers are
hardwired and work alongside existing
magnetic locks and electronic strikes.
Helping to keep costs to a minimum,
specific cards or fobs are not required to
integrate with the system, as all models
are RFID and MIFARE® compatible. The
A3 Dual and Vandal Resist models also
support 125KHz cards and fobs. All A3
door controllers require connections to a
push-to-exit button, a power supply and
maglock or electric strike, which briefly
releases the lock for exit.
No external programming devices
are required, managers can simply
programme the controllers at the door and
can assign, remove and reassign access
for users as required. The A3 range is user
friendly, as code and card access can be
allocated and deleted at the door. When
an incorrect card or code is presented 10
times, a time delay is triggered, making
it difficult for unauthorised users to gain
entry.
Functions also include Latch Mode
which enables code and card free access
and Pulse Mode allows an adjustable re-
lock time to be set, offering flexible access
options.
The A3 range has Panic Client
capability. In the event of a door being
forced opened against a person’s will, a
Panic Code or Card can be used which
allows entry and triggers a silent alarm, if
connected, to signal for help.
The A3 Dual and A3 Vandal Resist
models feature a Door Interlock function
that allows two door controllers to be
linked. This functionality helps maintain
the security of buildings as well as
protecting those inside, as it means that
the first door needs to be closed before
the second door can be opened – ideal
for storage rooms, offices, staff rooms
and areas where valuables and safes are
kept.
The A3 Dual and A3 Vandal Resist
are also capable of acting as a Wiegand
reader enabling devices to be connected
together as part of a larger network,
helping business control access and
prepare for growth.
