Centurion introduces new SUPA-SMART receiver for remote control access systems

November '99 Access Control & Identity Management

The new SUPA-SMART receiver from Centurion has been designed to meet the growing demand for multi-user remote control access systems, providing as it does a cost-effective and simple way of organising a complex, multi-user installation.

SUPA-SMART is self learningand is fully compatible with the current SMART range of remote controls, offering all the benefits of a dipswitch free selflearning system. Users can also selectively add and remove users, with user transmitters able to be easily added and deleted from the system without affecting any other users already stored. The system allows two methods to manage all the users .

1) All users in a specific unit within the complex can be stored in a group. For easy identification the group number would correspond to the unit number. Using this method, 1600 users can be entered into the system, in up to 1000 groups.

2) Each user has a unique group number which must be recorded. This method allows 1000 users to be entered into the system.

Key features of the SUPA-SMART system include:

Channel flexibility

The system is supplied standard with three open-collector output channels for greater flexibility and power. Each channel can be programmed to be latching (activate an alarm system or switch on perimeter lighting) or pulsed (operate a gate motor or similar access automation device). Any transmitter button can be programmed to operate any channel.

Configured For optimum performance

The programming console is separate from the radio receiver. This allows the receiver to be mounted externally in an elevated position to ensure optimum reception while the programming console can be securely and conveniently mounted elsewhere.

Secure data

The programming console supports a plug-in memory module which is used to back-up all the information stored in the system. There is also a master group which can be used to restrict access to the programming functions.

Smart switch

The link between the programmer and the device which it is operating (eg gate motor, roller shutter door operator, door lock etc) can be made tamper proof using the optional smart switch.

Diagnostic information

The digital display indicates the group number of the transmitter currently being used. It also provides an indication when a signal from an unauthorised transmitter has been received. This allows confirmation that a transmitter is functioning but has not been learned into the system. LEDs also indicate the status of each of the three channels.

Says Centurion Systems MD, Richard Rhoman, "For multi-user applications, the SUPA-SMART is the most powerful receiver in it's price range. This, combined with all the user friendly features should make it the automatic choice for your next townhouse security installation."
