by Brianna Crandall — February 12, 2014— Kantech, part of the Tyco Security Products business unit of global fire protection and security solutions provider Tyco International, has introduced the ioPass SA-550 Stand Alone Door Controller for use in small security applications.
Designed for convenience stores, storage rooms, parking lots, and other small projects facilities managers might have under new construction or separate from a larger system, the ioPass SA-550 brings the reader and controller together in an easy-to-use, software-free solution.
Engineered affordably as a self-contained, stand-alone unit, the ioPass SA-550 Stand Alone Door Controller complements Kantech’s existing line of access control solutions, addressing the need for a simple, effective and intuitive tool that can be deployed by growing businesses or in a separate area of a larger business.
The ioPass SA-550 offers an integrated 26-bit Wiegand ioProx proximity card reader that can store up to 1,000 users. For ease of installation, the unit is programmed directly from the keypad, with all commands displayed on a 16-character, two-line LCD. The ioPass SA-550 supports up to eight door configurations, with flexible options such as door access schedules and unlock schedules. The configuration data is transferrable to other SA-550 door controllers via a USB key.
Other features of the ioPass SA-550 Stand Alone Door Controller include an audit trail for the last 3,500 transactions with a time stamp, a six-language selectable user interface, the ability to program 24 recurring holidays and 24 non-recurring holidays per controller, and four door access schedules and one door unlock schedule per controller.
