In many institutional facilities, traffic is funneled through main perimeter openings equipped with access control. The remaining secondary perimeter openings utilize mechanical hardware, some of which are mechanically dogged (unlocked) and undogged (locked) to enable push/pull operation. The manual management and monitoring of these openings is inefficient and prone to human error.
The Von Duprin® RU retrofit kit for exit devices is a cost-effective solution for these secondary openings that enable remote undogging for centralized lockdown and door status monitoring. It connects wirelessly to our access control Physical Access Control Software (PACS) providers via an IP or RSI/RS-485 connection to the ENGAGE™ gateway. It is a modular battery-powered kit that can be added to existing 98/99 and 33A/35A series devices. The RM option is a sensor-only configuration for exit-only or fire rate doors that require monitoring. It provides visibility to request to exit (RX), latches bolt monitor (LX), and door position switch (DPS). 2 This complimentary solution enhances security by expanding the reach of the access control system to secondary openings that traditionally would go unaddressed because of the cost and complexity of running wires. Bringing these secondary openings online provides a more comprehensive perimeter security package.
1 Assuming dog and undog sequence use rate is 2 cycles per day, exception notification rate is one occurrence every 2 days, and door use of at least 200 cycles per day (sensor and wireless activity indication).2 RU using ENGAGE software or PAC solution via Wi-Fi is available for scheduled lock-up events only. This solution is not available for real-time lockdown.
