iGuard IP Appliance for Access Control and Time / Attendance

Time & Attendance Plug-In Power Solution

For simple time and attendance solutions with the iGuard you may use a plug-in power supply.  Likewise for access control, you MAY at your option use a plug in power supply for the iGuard and another plug-in power supply for the door strike, however it is HIGHLY recommended that you use a wired-in 12v low voltage power supply system as outlined below to comply with your local fire codes.  With either solution, you will need to make sure that you have SINGLE STEP EGRESS capability to comply with fire code.

We are NOT electricians and any installation should be done by a licensed, qualified low voltage electrician that is authorized and bonded to work in your area.  We recommend that you look to your local locksmith or electrician for the wiring install.  The network cabling and initial setup can be done by most qualified IT professionals.

With the wired-in solution, a building permit may or may not be required.  See your local ordinances for complete information on this requirement.

Access Control Power and Door Strikes - Wired In Solution

Secure Strike Relay - IG-ER-01

The IG-ER-01 Secure Strike Relay controller further increases the security level by controlling the door strike from inside of the premises. With this optional controller, the iGuard sends a special signal to this controller to open the door, rather than directly open the door with the internal relay. Because this optional controller is installed inside the premises, it is now impossible for the intruders to get into the premises, even if they destroy the iGuard.

Door Strikes - Magnetic Locks

Door Strike Release - An Electric Door Strike allows you to enter a room without having to turn the knob on the door lock by opening a gate that allows the lockset to pass through the door frame.   The iGuard releases a 12v power (Normally Open) or alternatively interrupts the 12v power to the door strike (Normally Closed) to allow you to pull the door open.  The gate on the strike release is at this point freed to simply allow the door to be pulled open.  The strike releases are field-selectable between Normally Open (Fail Safe) and Normally Closed (Fail Secure). 

One of the advantages of the Door Strike Release is that you do not need to retrofit any door mechanisms, nor do you need to run power through the door as you would with a powered door handle or mortise lockset.  You can use your existing hardware on the door and replace the strike plate on the door frame with the appropriate door strike (cylindrical lockset)

Magnetic Locks - A Magnetic Lock or MAG-LOCK is a locking mechanism that uses the power of a strong electro-magnet to hold the door shut until you authorize on the iGuard and then the power is interrupted allowing you to open the door.  This type of implementation is optimal where you are using swinging, roll-up metal or glass doors because you can secure a metal plate directly to the door to lock onto the electromagnet when engaged.  When using this type of locking mechanism you MUST use a panic button to interrupt the power so that you can open the door in an emergency.  We sell the button release with the panic button on it to go on the wall with.  These releases and Mag-Locks are sold with a 15 second "delayed Egress" timer giving you time to hold open the door during an evacuation.  Additional equipment at additional cost may be required to comply with your local codes and/or job field conditions.  Please check with your local Fire & Building departments.  Review 2000 NFPA101 7-2.1.6.2 and 1999 NFPA 72 3-9.7 for additional details on egress controlled doors.

Door Handles - 12V Powered with Key Override.

Another option to releasing the door is to have an electric door lock that is triggered by the iGuard system.  This requires a little more installation as you must use a "transfer hinge" to transfer the 12v power through the door frame into the door and to the lockset.  If done properly, this is quite a clean installation.  If you have solid wood core doors, you will need to drill a hole through the door for the power cable to pass through.  If you have glass doors, this option is unusable as you cannot pass the power through the glass onto the lockset.

Power Supplies

Overview
The use of a wired-in power supply gives you several options that will improve the efficiency and operation of your iGuard system such as battery back-up for power outages, spike & surge protection and guaranteed clean, efficient power at the proper voltage.  We recommend the Altronix or Honeywell lines of UL rated power supplies. 

Our standard solution includes the option of 2 - 5Amp Hour batteries for power backup.  We recommend that these solutions are installed by a CERTIFIED, BONDED AND LICENSED LOW VOLTAGE ELECTRICIAN which can be easily found in your local Yellow Pages.  Installation of most systems for a single door should not take more than 1-2 hours. 

Additional equipment at additional cost may be required to comply with your local codes and/or job field conditions.  Please check with your local Fire & Building departments.  Review 2000 NFPA 101 7-2.1.6.2 and 1999 NFPA 72 3-9.7 for additional details on egress controlled doors.
