by Shane Henson — April 19, 2013—DORMA, a U.S.-based global manufacturer of premium access solutions for buildings, announced the launch of its LPP Low-Powered Prox Access Control System this month.
Developed by DORMA’s affiliate company, Rutherford Controls International of Cambridge, Ontario, the new LPP is a low-powered battery-operated access control with proximity reader. It is a complete single-door stand-alone system in one easy-to-install kit, scalable for multiple doors. The kit comes complete with a proximity card reader, controller, and electric strike.
There are multiple strike applications to choose from, and it all operates on a nine-volt battery. Available options include the ES62 Surface Mount Rim Strike, ES62F 3-hour fire-rated rim exit strike, and the ES84 all-in-one centerline latch entry electric strike. In addition, the system’s built-in light-emitting diode (LED) and sounder indicates status and provides visual entry confirmation.
According to DORMA, the compatibility makes it an ideal solution for adding access control to a remote door that is not tied in to the existing hardwired system. The system is also capable of integrating with existing credentials, with no need to add separate cards. Buildings the LPP would be a great fit for include healthcare facilities, retail and wholesale centers, airports, public transit buildings, and museums and galleries.
In addition to its access control systems, DORMA features a design-oriented portfolio of architectural door hardware, specialty hardware for glass door and wall applications, door automation systems, and operable wall systems.
