General
The CS Technologies ACE-ATM access controller is a
simple controller which interfaces to a standard mag-
stripe (clock and data) or wiegand reader and provides
access whenever any credential is presented at the
reader.
The product has been designed specifically for banking
applications, and offers a low-cost alternative for the
specific requirement of ATM lobby access. Designed for
easy installation and with convenient features to make
implementation simple with a variety of door hardware
including electric strikes and automatic doors this
product is ideal for any situation where it is desired to
grant access to a large number of mag-stripe or wiegand
cards without discriminating between individual cards.
ABA mag-stripe and Wiegand cards
Cards issued by credit institutions, banks, building
societies and other bodies are usually encoded in a
standard format referred to as ABA. Because financial
institutions often have a wide variety of cards accepted
in their automatic teller machines (and this variety may
change from time to time) there is a need for a card
reader which will give access to any card encoded in the
ABA format. The CS Technologies ACE-ATM is such a
system.
There are also some applications where it is desired to
grant access on a wiegand pulse, where validation of
users has been carried out in a separate system. Again
the ACE-ATM is the ideal solution.
Easy Installation and Operation
The reader connects to a controller which is usually
located within the secure area above the ceiling. The
controller has connections for the reader, an exit
pushbutton and has two ‘normally open’ relay outputs.
Whenever a credential is read at the reader or the exit
pushbutton is pressed, both relay outputs operate for 5
seconds. The relay outputs can be connected to door
strikes or other devices for access control. The controller
is powered from a 12VDC supply, and this supply can be
the same one powering the electric strikes. This makes
installation very easy and inexpensive, since extra
power supplies for the controller are not required.
Ready to go
The system is pre-programmed to accept any mag-stripe
or wiegand card. Once configured and connected it will
work to provide an access control system for an ATM
lobby or similar situation, without any programming
required.
The system is 100% Australian designed and made and
available at very reasonable cost.
