Entrance barrier - SmartRelay AX Classic

Everyone who wants to drive into a segregated area, such as a company car park, needs to pass through an entrance barrier. Not everyone can have an authorised identification medium as this would involve considerable organisation. An entrance barrier is also normally installed outdoors and is thus exposed to the weather, vandalism and sabotage.

This SmartRelay AX Classic offers an intelligent solution for such situations. The controller is installed in a protected area, such as the engineering room. A reader also needs to be installed close to the barrier. There are two ways to do this:

  • The reader is fitted into the barrier housing. This variant discreetly blends in. It provides excellent protection against the weather, vandalism and sabotage.
  • The reader is fitted on the barrier housing. This version is visible on the outside and makes it easier for users to place their identification medium onto the reader. The read range is better compared to a reader fitted inside the barrier housing. The anti-vandalism frame (SREL3.COVER) ensures protection against vandalism and sabotage.

The user can use their identification media to check authorisation while in the car. If the user does not have an identification medium, but is expected, they can still announce their arrival, using an intercom, for example. Another person who is in the protected area can then let the user in by pressing the connected button. The button can be installed in a gatehouse, for example, which only allows external customers to enter during business hours while users with identification media can come in at any time.

Communication between the reader and the controller is encrypted and secured. This means that no one can tamper with the data. The data read is only processed and evaluated in the controller.

The reader can be powered by the controller and does not require a separate power supply unit in this case. Long cables or cables with excessively thin conductor cross-sections will cause a drop in voltage. Malfunctions may occur if the voltage drop becomes too great. See Information on cabling for details and possible solutions.

IMPORTANT

Manipulation of unprotected electrical connections

Unprotected electrical connections can be short-circuited or manipulated in another way.

  1. Install electrical connections from buttons to the controller within protected areas only.
  2. Install electrical connections from the controller to the contactor or the device being activated within protected areas only.
