Why use a protected power distribution module in your security system? Redundancy – Fire Protection – Cost Savings A fused power distribution module (PDM) adds resilience, compliance and peace of mind to your security system, all while saving costs. Redundancy.Relying on overcurrent protection from a single source, such as a power supply fuse, is a […]

We have been getting feedback from security integrators that competing companies and/or clients have insisted that a software or firmware-based fire trip is adequate for the release of doors during a fire alarm. Read on to find out why a software fire trip is a fundamentally flawed practice. A software/firmware trip is an interface to […]

The ability to escape a building during a fire alarm event is obviously a vital component of building design that can help ensure occupants’ safety. In Australia there are legislated rules that dictate how this function must be achieved in combination with electronically locked doors. The rules are laid out in the National Construction Code […]

End of line (EOL) resistor circuits are one of the basic building blocks of security and access control systems. Field devices such as reed switches, duress buttons, motion sensors and locks all use EOL circuits to tell the security panel the device state and help to ensure that the cable serving each device is kept […]

Electric strikes are a popular choice for securing doors, for good reason, they are a cost-effective and versatile option. Electric strikes work with standard door hardware and can be configured to fail secure or fail-safe.  They often also have outputs for monitoring the status of the locking solenoid (Lock Status Sensor, LSS) and the position […]

The ATMOD is the fastest way to add EOL resistors to security and access control systems. This animation shows the termination process. There is an ATMOD model to suit all alarm, access control and security panels.
