2 door interlocking module

Description

2 door interlocking module is a high security device that control 2 doors in and airlock situation. When used with our Door status range of magnetic locks 2 door interlocking is achieved allowing only 1 door to be open at a time

2 door interlocking module Functionality:

• Prevents simultaneous door openings:

  The core function is to prevent both doors from being open at the same time.

• Airlock functionality:

  Creates a controlled environment similar to an airlock, where one door must close before the other can open.

• Security Enhancement:

  Minimizes the risk of unauthorized entry by ensuring only one door is accessible at a time, discouraging tailgating and piggybacking.

Common Applications:

• High-security areas: Banks, prisons, data centers, and clean rooms.
• Material Airlocks: Controlling access for the transfer of goods or materials.
• Personnel Airlocks: Regulating access for individuals.
• Gowning rooms: Maintaining controlled environments by ensuring only one door is open during gowning procedures.
• Pass Boxes/Throughs: Controlling access to transfer between areas.
• Air Showers: Ensuring proper air shower function before access.

How it works (general principles):

• Door Sensors: Magnetic door contacts or other sensors detect the open/closed status of each door.
• Interlock Relay Module: A central module receives input from the sensors and controls the locking mechanisms.
• Lock Control: The module activates or deactivates electric strikes or magnetic locks to control door access.
• Timing and Sequencing:

  Some modules may incorporate time delays for controlled door release or activation of other devices.

Key Features:

• Input: Typically 12V DC for power and door status signals.
• Output: 12V DC output to control the locking mechanisms.
• Contact Rating: 3 amp contacts at 24V DC or 120V AC, depending on the specific module.
• Compact Design: Modules are typically small, with dimensions like 70 x 60 x 15mm or 73 x 63 x 20mm.
• Compatibility: Can work with various access control devices like pushbuttons, card readers, and biometric devices.
• Optional features: Some modules offer features like door open alarms, ventilation control, or integration with building management systems.
