Access Control Systems

Access control systems allow access or egress to all forms of premises, these include offices, apartments and schools etc., where controlled / secure areas are required.

VIDEX produce 3 specific ranges of access control systems:

On digital “stand-alone” codelocks, the management circuitry and the “door-open” relays are housed inside the codelock. The user types the access code via the keypad, and if the code is correct, the relevant relay will be enabled.

On serial codelocks, the keypad is the interface through which the user operates the system while the management circuitry and the “door open” relays are housed inside the control unit, which is normally installed in a secure area. On these systems, the user enters the access code through the keypad, the keypad transmits the code to the control unit If the code is correct this will enable the relevant relay. Serial communication between keypad and control unit, prevents tampering with the keypad to activate the “door open relays”. These systems offer a higher level of security than the “stand alone” codelocks.

On proximity key systems, the role of the keypad is carried out by the proximity reader, replacing the access code with “proximity keys”. The control unit, which is normally installed in a safe area, houses the management circuitry and the “door open” relays. Depending on the control unit, the readers are either directly linked to the control unit through a serial connection or linked to it through a serial bus.

The user offers the proximity key close to the reader. The reader reads the key code and communicates this to the control unit, if the key is enabled, this will activate the relevant door open relay. Security of the system is ensured by the serial communication between the readers and the control unit.

Access Control System using digital stand-alone code-locks

Videx digital codelocks are manufactured from the highest quality materials, this guarantees high reliability and offers a wide range of models at competitive price / performance. All versions offer ease of installation and a user friendly “programming menu” this allows the user to store, by using a “discrete code”(up to 8 digits), one or more “access codes” and relay opening time and operating mode (the number of codes and relays depend on the code-lock model).

The relays can be programmed to operate for a specified time or to be latched. Depending on the codelock version, they can have 1 or 2 input terminals to enable the relevant relay.

Stand-alone code-locks are available in a number of version: flush or surface mounting for “800 Series” and “4000 Series” modular systems (to combine with audio and video door entry systems) and in plastic version for internal use.

The different versions start from 1 relay with 1 access code to 3 relays with 100 access codes. The relays are dry contact with C, NC and NO terminals (except the third relay in 3 relay version where only C and NO terminals are available).

All codelocks have protection that temporary disables the keypad each time a wrong code is entered: the disable time will increase each time two or more wrong codes are entered.

If higher security is required, VIDEX offer codelocks that use serial communication between the key pad and the remote “control unit” which houses the relay outputs.

ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS USING SERIAL CODELOCK UNITS

Serial codelocks offer a higher level of security against tampering than “stand-alone” codelocks. The keypad is the input peripheral for the data which is processed by the remote sited control unit (normally installed in a secure area), to which the keypad is connected through a serial connection. Greater security against tampering is achieved as the lock relays are housed within the remote sited control equipment. The serial codelock units are powered from the control unit which houses the relays and stored access codes.

 

SERIAL CODELOCK UNITS “SLIM SERIES”

The “Slim Series” codelocks are designed to be installed where space is limited. The body of the codelock is manufactured from one piece die cast aluminium, which greatly improves the codelocks resilience to vandalism and misuse, giving increased reliability.

All models are for surface mounting and are available in either a square or rounded shape, with two different finishes: nickel (order adding “/N” to the product code) or gold (order adding “/G”).

These codelock units must be connected to one of the following Videx Central Control Units: VX1000B, VX1010-1 or VX1010-2, depending on how many user codes or relay outputs are required.

Working temperature -10 +50°C.

 

LOW COST SERIAL CODELOCK UNITS

Having the same appearance as the “stand-alone” version, these are available for flush or surface mounting, with the front panels available in two different finishes: aluminium gold anodized (add “/G” to the product code when ordering) or aluminium silver anodized (add “/A” to the product code).

SERIAL CODELOCK UNIT MODULES FOR “800 SERIES” MODULAR SYSTEM

Having the same appearance as the “stand-alone” version, these are available with or without keypad illumination LEDs with the front panels available in two different finishes: stainless steel (add “/S” to the product code when ordering) or aluminium (add “/A” to the product code).

Working temperature-10 +50°C.

 

CONTROL UNITS FOR SERIAL CODELOCKS

All serial codelock units require a remote VIDEX control unit. Control Units are identified by memory capacity (number of access codes that can be stored), the number of relay outputs (with C/NC/NO contacts) and the operating mode. The control unit is programmed via the keypad to which it is connected.

The programming allows for the storage of access codes and the setting of the relay operating times. Access to the programming menu is password (PIN) code protected (maximum 8 digits) and can be customized by the end user. Serial connection between units uses 3 standard wires with a maximum distance of 600mts.

 


ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS USING PROXIMITY KEY READERS

“VproX” control units are available in five different sizes, allowing greater flexibility in the design and implementation of access control systems. A system will include a control unit, one or more key reader, power supply and as many proximity keys as required. VproX” access control systems can be used from 1 door 20 user installation up to 20 main doors and 99 apartment doors with 4000 users.

 

PROXIMITY KEYS

All proximity keys use a 32 bit code (with over 4 billion combinations) and are available in two different formats: card and tags.

 

PROXIMITY KEY READER UNITS

VIDEX produce a wide range of proximity key readers to meet all installation and market requirements.

CONTROL UNITS FOR ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS USING PROXIMITY KEYS

Videx proximity readers are managed by one of the “VproX” control units. The range offers various models from a basic unit that controls a single access point, to the more sophisticated, that have multi-access control and advanced features of programming/management of “events and reports”. All devices operate autonomously, so they do not need a fixed connection with a Personal Computer. Various system functions and programming features are accessible by using the switches and keyboards of the control units, while the most advanced system (VproX-1000 and 4000) can be controlled “on line” by a PC using special Videx software “VP4000”. All control units in the range include an internal key reader and the option to have up to 2 external reader units (in parallel) on each door. Relay outputs have NC/NO contacts, 5Amps–24Vac/dc max.

Connection to the “VproX” reader unit requires a minimum of 5 core cable (for serial communication) with a maximum distance of 200mts.
