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]](/resources/bullet/digitalidnews-4.gif)
