The basic building
block of all the Fospat systems is as described below for a typical
installation on a door.
This unit can be operated as a stand alone unit, a PC managed unit or as a networked system.
Whichever level of entry is selected expansion is simple by building on units which are all compatible.
Each access point unit is comprised of the following elements:
 |
The Tag is effectively the “key” to the system. It is held briefly within ~50mm, its orientation is unimportant.
If it is recognised by the control unit as being authorised on that unit it will operate to release the lock.
 Requires no batteries
Virtually indestructible
|
 |
The Reader communicates with the
“Tag”, and passes on the Tag’s identity
to the control unit. The reader can be hidden behind wood
or mortar to make it totally vandal proof.
|
 |
The Control Unit is the brains of the system it receives the Tag identity from the reader and subject to the set up, if the tag is authorised on that unit, it sends a signal to release the locking mechanism. |
 |
The Lock can be any electromechanical release mechanism. It can control a simple barrier, a magnetic lock or a simple strike plate |
In addition to the basic system, there are a number of features which can be included at the time of installation or at a later date:
A touch to exit unit
A
break glass to exit (emergency exit)
A module to allow management via a PC
Battery back up
 |
Touch to exit unit
In some applications a release mechanism is required to operate the lock from the none controlled side. This mechanism only requires the slightest of touches anywhere on the surface to release the lock. |
 |
A break glass to exit
If an emergency exit is required, this unit
enables the lock to be released in the event of an emergency.
|
 |
A module to allow management via a PC
This versatile unit allows:
In applications such as a security, or a reception desk, for a PC to be wired to a PC which displays a preloaded picture of the Tag user.
In applications where there are a number of doors, a large number of personnel, together with changes of personnel and access rights the total management of the system can be undertaken on a PC. Utilising a laptop or mini PC all the units can be updated.
If the units on the doors are all networked the management of access rights can be undertaken remotely from the doors
