Schlage integrates Mercury Security for wireless access control

Wednesday, February 17, 2010

Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies revealed that its Schlage wireless panel interface module now integrates to Mercury Security access control panels via RS485.

With a new protocol, a single Mercury access panel can manage up to 64 Schlage wireless devices including the modular designed AD-Series, which lets users change credential technologies or networking capabilities without removing the lock from the door. It is also backwards compatible with the WA-Series network locks, exit trims and portable readers.

By integrating the panel interface modules directly with the access control panels, the need for wireless gateway modules is eliminated – thus reducing the cost per door of wireless access control solutions. [end]
