IXP120 four-door system

December 2005 Perimeter Security, Alarms & Intruder Detection

Impro Technologies is proud to unveil the bigger, better and more powerful IXP120. The already successful IXP120 has been super-sized to compete in the highly competitive 1-4 door market.

The IXP120 has seen great success since its launch almost six months ago due largely to the controller's multiple communication possibilities and the powerful single and remote site monitoring capabilities of the software. The extraordinary growth of the product and the positive feedback received from the market prompted the development of a terminal bus to allow the system to compete in the larger four door market. The IXP120 now supports four doors in full Anti-Pass Back (APB) with no change to the price of the controller.

The IXP120 was designed to offer a user-friendly solution for monitoring local and remote sites. The controllers can be communicated with via RS232, RS485, USB, Dialup or TCP/IP and the software facilitates systematic control for an unlimited number of sites all reporting back to a central server. The latest software release includes an automatic update wizard that facilitates the quick and simple copying of tag holders from an existing site to a new one. All the features available in the first release of the IXP120 are extended to the four-door system and include functions such as Door Mode Patterns, Power Control Mode and Input monitoring options.

As with all the systems in the IXP range the IXP120 comes standard with web reports and includes new Time Management reports which calculate hours worked in an APB zone and hours worked based on first in last out transactions.

The new four-door system also retains its ability to integrate with third-party intrusion panels as well as the ability to arm and disarm the panel from a keypad unit.

The controller has two housing options, either ABS plastic or aluminium and can be ordered in any one of the communication options. The controller supports all the ImproX Terminals except the input/output units and through the ImproX TT supports all the ImproX antennas allowing the flexibility of eight reader options.

The IXP120 has all the features and benefits of a medium to large system but the simplicity of a small system. The communication options and software capabilities open up a large potential market but in particular it appeals to applications where there are a high number of remote sites such as pump and transformer stations.

The system has seen the most success through small commercial and upmarket residential applications with the vehicle control capabilities of the IXP120 being a draw card. The IXP120 is a great stepping-stone into the world of proximity based access control and the upgrade path to the IXP200 or IXP400 allows the user to expand as and when desired.
