Access control keypad with electronics

15 August 2001 Switches, Relays & Keypads

The STORM AXS StrikeMaster access-control keypad from Keymat Technology is a self- contained system constructed to withstand hard use and abuse in exposed, unsupervised, public locations. When authorised personnel enter a unique PIN into the Strikemaster Keypad it triggers an electrically operated strike or lock. This permits access through a normally locked door or barrier. Up to 50 individual 'personal identification number' codes can be programmed. Codes can be programmed either to open the door for a pre-set time, allowing just one person to enter, or to hold the door in an unlocked condition until the code is re-entered - in this way as per a traditional key.

The keypad can also be used to give a discrete warning of attack or kidnap. If any programmed PIN code is pre-fixed by two special digits a 'silent warning' is transmitted, and the door or barrier appears to operate normally. The StrikeMaster also includes an electronic sensor that detects any attempt to remove or tamper with the keypad.

It can be easily installed to prevent unauthorised access to schools, offices, private buildings or restricted areas. It is both weather and vandal-resistant.
