Access Control

Access Control

The Traka Immobilisor can be used for Access Control.

It is particularly suited for access control to property, rooms where sensitive or dangerous equipment is located, or to cabinets holding equipment such as IT Servers and Data Network Exchanges.

Here the Traka iFob is used to open doors or access other equipment and to record where and when it was used.

Using the principle of the Immobilisor iFob per Person, the iFob contains each unique Users access permissions for a pre determined period of time. Each permission is written to the iFob at the time it is withdrawn from the Traka cabinet and hence is always current.

In use, the iFob is inserted into receptor sockets, adjacent to the door or equipment which will check the permissions on the iFob. If acceptable the Immobilisor will release a door mag lock or solenoid and the door will open. The iFob will record the access event as well as the time, which it stores until returned to the Traka cabinet at the end of the shift, when the events are downloaded. If a user attempts to use the iFob outside its period of validity, the iFob will no longer activate the Immobilisor Access Control System.

Applications include use in secure environments where limited access is to be given to high value items and in secure establishments where mechanical keys are to be used in conjunction with electronic access control. The Traka Immobilisor can be configured to interface and co-exist with almost all existing Access Control Systems using proximity or swipe cards readers.
