Introduction

Description
The IES is an electronic fitting allowing a simple upgrading and
converting of existing mechanical door locks. No modification of
the lock is required.
Mechanical emergency opening is possible with mechanical
locking cylinders if these are used together with the IES. If the
battery is empty, electronic emergency opening is possible with
the optional Emergency Power Supply and an authorized
locking medium.
The IES is part of the OMEGA ACTIVE system. It is based on
active transponder technology which unlike passive
transponders allows reading distances of about 70 cm.
The IES is intended for installation in locks with or without
profile cylinders. It can be installed with a minimum of fitting
effort.
The IES can only be operated with authorized locking media.
You authorize a locking medium for your IES with Master
media (see page 27, "Optional Master media").
To operate the IES, you move an authorized locking medium
within the reading range of the outside shield. Touch the
proximity sensor with your finger to trigger the opening
function of the IES. The reader module recognizes your
authorized locking medium. In response, the lock and the door
handle are coupled and you can open the door with the handle.
All OMEGA ACTIVE transponder media can be programmed and
used as authorized locking media at the IES. OMEGA ACTIVE
locking media are read within a range of approximately 70 cm
so that it is no longer necessary for you to take these locking
media into your hand.
The IES additionally comprises a reader for 125 kHz
transponder media. This makes it possible to read current
