Genie Access launches compact super strength magnetic locks

Genie Access launches compact super strength magnetic locks

Genie Access, a division of Genie CCTV Ltd., has launched a new concept in electro mechanical locking, offering unparalleled features and benefits over conventional electro magnetic locks.

Vortex is a powerful yet compact magnet fitted with a conical orifice which confines a very strong alloy pin within a vortex of magnetic and mechanical forces. This product is available in various sizes and models suitable for surface or flush mount high security installations.

The new compact magnetic lock has been introduced in the market as not only a retrofit option but as an alternative to conventional magnetic locks. Vortex offers solutions to various high security applications in which conventional magnetic locks can not be applied.

It is an ideal product for high security applications not only because it is extremely compact and secure but also due to the sensory technology it offers.

Apart from its compact aesthetic appearance, The Vortex magnet, GAMEM 2400LP incorporates a large, oval, forward facing status LED which alerts passers by to the actual status of the door (i.e Green or Red)

The size to holding force ratio of the Vortex magnetic lock enables the product to be fitted to low hanging doors and provide a holding force of 1500 Kg (3300lbs). This significantly outperforms a single or even DBL Standard magnetic lock which only holds 1000Kg (2200lbs)

Conventional magnets pose a health and safety risk due to their physical size and weight. Both these issues are overcome with Vortex as it offers greater holding force at a quarter of the size and weight than its rivals.

In addition to the incredible holding force, Vortex has 3 different sensors built in to output maximum information about its status at all times. One of the most prominent sensors in the Vortex is an early warning pressure sensor which detects an applied force to the door and provides a warning before the integrity of the door is actually compromised. Additional sensors include door positioning and door status.

The new compact locks are now available nationwide through most security distributors.

Rui D’ Almeida, Genie’s Access Control Manager says “When compared to a standard magnetic lock, the new vortex locks are 30% more stronger, 75% smaller and boast 50% less power consumption, making them energy efficient”

New Digital locking cylinder 3061, with Network Inside.

Digital locking cylinder with Network Inside.

Most Digital Lockin System require a separate wireless LockNode at each door in addition to the Digital Locking Cylinder.

But now, thanks to Simon Voss Technologies, the LockNode, has been so dramatically scaled down it can be fitted inside the knob of the new “Digital Locking Cylinder 3061.

But not only that: At the same time additional features have been added, so that the Network can also be used as a “gateway” in the virtual network, transferring information via the transponder. The transponder sends and receives information through the “gateway”; this information can be transmitted to other doors or made available to the system administrator.

“In new buildings, the System 3060 can be networked wirelessly in a few minutes by installing a compact special cylinder. In existing locking and access control systems from SimonsVoss, the wireless WaveNet network can be upgraded quickly and cost-effectively at any time by replacing the knob cap on the cylinder, without having to change the door or door frame”.

Bluetooth Access Control

BlueControl – Bluetooth Remote Controller
The BlueControl allows you to turn up to four relays on and off from a Windows PC, Pocket PC and certain high-end cellphones. When used with one of these transmitting devices the BlueControl will provide a secure and reliable remote telemetry system operating over bluetooth radio.
The BlueControl is supplied housed in an IP65 rated enclosure with wall mounting kit. The system offers up to 100 metre range when used with another Class I bluetooth device. If a Class II bluetooth device is used then the range will typically be limited to the maximum of the Class II device, 10 metres.

BlueLock – Bluetooth Access Controller
The BlueLock automatically detects known Bluetooth devices within a 10m range. When it detects a device it recognizes, it energizes the relay. In this way the system can be used as a secure and reliable remote access device operating over bluetooth radio.

The BlueLock can be configured to trigger in one of two operating modes:

• Auto Mode: Triggers whenever a recognized device comes into range. To operate in this mode, connect the jumper OPT1 across pins b and c.
• Semi-Auto mode: Triggers whenever a recognized device detected and then the external pushbutton is pressed. To operate in this mode, disconnect the jumper OPT1.

Device Compatibility
The Remote Controllers are compatible with Windows PCs, Pocket PCs and Microsoft Windows Mobile cellphones. Some cellphones supporting J2ME and JABWT will also work but due to variations between manufacturers, performance on Java phones is not guaranteed. Java phones that are believed to be compatible are listed on the Flexipanel website.
All devices must be equipped with a Bluetooth radio. If it is a Class II radio with 10m range, the operating range may be limited by that device.
