Product description - Locking cylinder (Z4) 3061

The SimonsVoss Digital Locking System 3060 is an electronic version of a mechanical locking system with the functions of a typical access control system.

Digital Locking Cylinder 3061 and the digital half cylinder are a main component in the locking and access control system, where radio communication replaces the mechanical authentication of a conventional key.

This product description details both the locking cylinder and the half cylinder. The design and operating mode of the two products are comparable in many respects. Any differences between the two products and different versions are pointed out in the corresponding sections.

'Locking cylinder' is taken to mean both 'locking cylinder' and 'half cylinder' in this document unless explicitly stated otherwise or taken out of context.

Data are transmitted for authentication using a transponder (25kHz inductive) or a smart card featuring the RFID standard MIFARE^© Classic or MIFARE^© DESFire.

Refer to the respective manuals for details about smart card products (SC). This description mentions the smart card cylinder, but does not describe it in any detail.

The locking cylinder is supplied in different versions and meets different profile standards, such as DIN 18252/EN1303, so that almost any lock anywhere in the world can be retrofitted with this cylinder. Digital Locking Cylinder 3061 has much to offer – greater security, greater flexibility, lower costs, network-ready without any wiring on the door or frame and less time and effort required for installation.

Digital Locking Cylinder 3061 is powered by two batteries in a redundant system. Cylinders operate as stand-alone components thanks to this integrated power supply, which also means there is no need to wire doors. An intelligent battery warning system also increases reliability.

The SimonsVoss system elements are not configured before delivery from the factory. They are first assigned to a locking system during initial programming. This makes it easier for stock keeping and makes product management simpler.

Thanks to modularity, all locking cylinders are seamlessly integrated into the SimonsVoss System 3060 and, like all SimonsVoss components, they can be programmed using the locking plan software. Other authentication components, such as Pin Code Keypad 3068, Biometric Reader Q3008 or Compact Reader 3078, can be connected as a wireless element. If the system is extended at a later stage, cylinders can be networked without wiring and managed in an online interconnected system.

The locking cylinders are provided with two different firmware generations – G1 and G2. G2 features a more efficient communication protocol than G1. It will allow you to create larger, more efficient locking systems. Authorisations are written both on the locking cylinder and the transponder, thus delivering greater flexibility for programming. A G2 system can also form a virtual network, i.e. authorisations and blocking lists are written on the transponder and transmitted into the locking system. Refer to the G2 manual for more details.
