ACT’s Marketing Director, David Moran presents ACT’s latest controller, the ACTpro 1520e.
The ACTpro 1520e gives integrators ultimate flexibility. They can install the controller using IP at every door, create a hub from RS485 or, most importantly, expand using Ethernet by exploiting the unit’s dual Ethernet switch.
The controller is both flexible and scalable. New clients will usually opt to connect the ACTpro 1520e sequentially as a daisy chain but ACT’s legacy clients can use it seamlessly with the company’s two and four-door controllers. There is an integrated web server.
The ACTpro 1520e offers the benefits of distributed intelligence, anti passback, interlock and status LEDs. The controller is designed to work from ACT’s latest management software, ACTenterprise, but is backward-compatible with ACT’s older software. It can be used with all of ACT’s readers including the RFID 125KHz, MIFARE Classic and DESFire EV1.
The R&D team at ACT has created the ACTpro 1520e controller with user convenience and total cost of ownership (TCO) in mind. The extensive diagnostic aids include voltage monitoring, break glass monitoring, reader short circuit protection, tamper alert and mains present monitoring.
The controller can be used on major sites and a single unit will operate with multiple entry & exit readers. Scalability is virtually unlimited. A network of up to 4,000 doors can be created and theoretically a client site could have 60,000 users with each user having four credentials.
Installers will appreciate the ample space in the enclosure for cable management. The controller has a 2amp power supply though a non-PSU variant, the ACTpro1500e, is also available as a non PSU option. The product is available now from ACT’s installer and distribution channels with a lead time of ten working days.
