by Shane Henson — July 29, 2013—Securitron, an ASSA ABLOY Group company that provides security products for businesses in a wide range of industries, is rolling out its DKC Digital Keypad Controller, the company recently announced.
The Securitron DKC is a stand-alone controller that is compatible with Wiegand and ASSA ABLOY Aperio technologies, enabling it to be used with any Wiegand output reader, keypad or the Aperio series of wireless locking products, says Securitron. It can independently control one or two doors and up to 250 users per door. The DKC offers total ease of programming. Users just load the included programming tool onto a laptop, program the DKC at their desk, then export to the DKC using a USB cable. The DKC can also be programmed directly on the computer’s CPU board from an installed system keypad, says Securitron.
The DKC also provides a downloadable audit trail for time/date-stamped user access, and stores up to 2,000 user events. It incorporates a non-volatile memory for fast recovery in the event of a power outage, with no loss of data. Measuring just 6 x 8 x 3 inches, the DKC offers a host of additional functions, including a user code and/or hard code disable feature, five-amp relay output for lock control and alarm shunt, camera call-up or other device interface, a REX input, and other features.
According to the company, the controller is ideal for small businesses and other applications where a cost-effective, easy-to-install two-door solution is required.
