GSC Systems has announced the release of its new access control system - KeyProx. "KeyProx has been developed to fill a 'gap' between standalone readers and larger on-line systems," says Erich Glatz, GSC's marketing director.

KeyProx is a standalone access control system that offers a wide range of features making it suitable for 'simple' access applications but also for complex and secure configurations.

The KeyProx System consists of:

* A secure control unit.

* One or two proximity readers with or without keypad.

* Optional remote read heads.

* Win software for optional serial link to a computer.

All features can be programmed via the keypad on the reader. An optional PC link allows programming from the PC/Windows software.

To control access, cards are assigned a security schedule which is made up of time zones, security levels and days of the week. The system provides for eight security schedules and each day of the week is split into five time zones. Provision is also made for public holidays.

Security levels allow for varying security needs at different times of the day and the system provides for six security levels:

PIN only (1-6 digits)

Card only.

Card + PIN.

Double Card.

Double Card + PIN.

Access Denied.

Additional convenience is provided by a Door Schedule which allows the door to operate in Normal mode (normal access control), Locked mode (all access denied) and Unlocked mode (door is unlocked - no access control). The controller unit has two relays. This enables the system to be installed in following configurations:

* A single door controller with keypad reader on either side of the door. The unused relay is then used as an alarm output.

* A two door controller with one keypad reader per door. The second relay is then used to control the second door. (In this mode a transistor drive for an external relay provides alarm output.)

Transactions with date and time stamp are stored on the control unit and can be downloaded to the PC for reporting purposes.
