Multi-level lock security

May 2012 Access Control & Identity Management

The XS4 electronic lock with keypad is a new product that provides increased levels of security and control. For doors where extra security may be required, it offers users a choice of multiple security authentication methods to control access including proximity card, combined use of a PIN code + proximity card or a separate keypad code.

It needs no hard wiring and provides a totally wire-free networked electronic locking solution with a great range of features. It is also available in a wireless version for online real-time control.

The lock can be operated in three modes, proximity card only, PIN (personal identification number) code + proximity card or keypad code only. With standard proximity card mode the lock is locked at all times until opened with the users proximity card that has access rights to the room.

When using PIN code + card mode each user has their own personal code. Typically this might be used in student dorms, where extra security and dual authentication (presenting both a card and typing in the PIN code) are needed. Users can have up to an 8-digit PIN Code.

In keypad code-only mode, the lock itself has an access code that is used for user authentication. Every user that goes through that door knows the keypad code. When two users share the same office or room, they are the only ones that know the keypad code of their room. Several calendars can be programmed every day, giving the ability to use passage mode type opening during the day, and dual authentication only at night. Users can have up to an 8-digit keypad code.

Available in European, Scandinavian and ANSI wide body versions in both Mifare/DESfire and HID iClass technologies, the new XS4 electronic lock with keypad can handle up to 64 000 doors and 4 million users per system and store the last 1000 events in its audit trail memory. And in addition, it can also be fitted with a wide range of handle styles, making it the perfect choice for those doors where additional security verification is needed.
