In the dynamic world of security solutions, ALGATEC is proud to introduce its latest innovation – the BML series Electromagnetic lock. This best-in-class locking system not only delivers robust physical security but also introduces a suite of advanced monitoring features, empowering security professionals with comprehensive control and visibility.
Auto Voltage Detect System: Ensuring consistent performance
One of the standout features of the BML series are the Auto-Detect Voltage System. This cutting-edge technology enables the lock to automatically detect the voltage being supplied and adjust its operation accordingly, eliminating the need for manual switching or configuration. This feature ensures consistent performance, even when the power supply fluctuates within the acceptable range, mitigating the risk of malfunctions and enhancing overall security.
The BML series is designed to safeguard against power supply issues. If the voltage drops below the minimum required (10.8V DC), the lock may not generate enough magnetic force to properly secure the door, potentially resulting in an unlocked state. This system prioritizes security by automatically disconnecting power to the coil if the voltage falls below a critical level. This prevents the EM lock from operating with insufficient power, which could compromise access control. By ensuring the lock only functions when it can maintain the necessary magnetic force, the system enhances overall security.
Security Status Sensor (SSS): Enhanced monitoring and sensitivity
The BML series EM lock introduces the Security Status Sensor (SSS), a feature designed to continuously monitor the quality of the locking bond between the magnet surface and the armature plate. This sensor is highly sensitive, capable of detecting foreign objects as thin as 0.18 mm which may compromise the locking mechanism.
By closely monitoring the locking bond, the SSS can identify reduced holding force due to the presence of a foreign object. If such a condition is detected, the system will not indicate a "door closed" status, effectively preventing the door from being considered securely locked. This advanced monitoring capability ensures enhanced security by identifying potential issues before they can be exploited.
Compared to standard lock status monitoring function (LSMF), the SSS also provides valuable data on the locking bond quality, allowing security professionals to proactively address any deterioration or tampering. This information can be integrated with the facility's security management system, providing a comprehensive overview of the access control points and enabling timely interventions.
Programmable Relock Timer: Enhanced Flexibility and Convenience
Complementing the monitoring features, the BML series EM lock offers a Programmable Relock Timer. This innovative function allows the lock to remain unlocked for a set period after authorized access, enhancing convenience and security in high-traffic areas or situations where multiple people need to pass through quickly.
The relock timer can be programmed to keep the lock unlocked for a duration ranging from 0 to 35 seconds, a significant improvement over the standard 0-20 seconds range found in most EM locks. This customizable feature enables security professionals to balance security and user convenience, ensuring that the doors remain accessible for an appropriate duration without compromising the overall security of the facility.
Advanced monitoring features for better security management
The BML series EM lock is designed to seamlessly integrate with a wide range of access control systems, allowing security managers to centralize the monitoring and management of their physical security infrastructure. The BML series goes beyond basic security by incorporating advanced monitoring features. This allows the lock to not only safeguard your building or premises but also provide valuable insights into its performance and status, giving you greater control and peace of mind.
By integrating the BML series EM lock with access control systems, you can remotely monitor the status of individual locks, receive real-time alerts on potential threats, and even automate the locking and unlocking of doors based on predetermined schedules or access permissions. This level of integration ensures that the physical security layer is closely aligned with the digital access control measures, creating a robust and multilayered security framework.
By incorporating these advanced monitoring capabilities and user-centric features, the ALGATEC BML series EM lock delivers a comprehensive security solution that not only safeguards physical access but also comes with enhanced control and visibility. This innovative product reflects our commitment to driving the evolution of security technology.
