| Integrating an S&G electronic lock with the S&G Alarm Module allows communication of critical information to an alarm system |
STANLEY Security, a leading provider of security products, services and integrated solutions, presents the Sargent & Greenleaf (S&G) Alarm Module for electronic lock integration at the ASIS International 59th Annual Seminar and Exhibits (ASIS 2013), September 24-27 in Chicago, IL.
Integrating an S&G electronic lock with the S&G Alarm Module allows for communication of critical information from a safe or vault and the lock to an alarm system. With the S&G Alarm Module, customers are able to monitor the status of the lock bolt (extended or retracted) or the safe door (closed or opened), and can enter a duress code to trigger the alert of the customer’s monitoring centre, or even start/stop services, such as video surveillance, to improve security.
“By integrating a safe or vault lock with the S&G Alarm Module, customers can gain valuable insights for a total secure solution,” said Ned Urschel, VP of Global Sales for S&G. “We pride ourselves on tapping into advances in technology and product synergies to create a comprehensive lock package that best protects our customers’ facilities.”
The S&G Alarm Module includes the following features to effectively monitor safe activity:
- Bolt Position Indicator (BPI): Notifies customers in the event a lock bolt retracts, and can be monitored after business hours. The lock’s BPI can also shunt an alarm circuit, such as the door contact, or activate a video recording.
- Door Contact Switches: Create alerts or integrate the activity of the safe door similar to BPI functionality. Optional “door loops” ensure the safe door is closed before it is locked, preventing employees from locking the door open, either for convenience or more questionable purposes.
- Silent Duress Code: In hold-up situations where an employee is forced to open a safe, simply adding “1” to the last digit of the valid code opens the safe while sending a silent alert to the customer’s monitoring station, who can immediately notify police of the emergency.
- Disable Lock Signal: Customers can prevent access to the lock via signal from a remote location, or locally, using a simple safe-mounted key switch.
- Tamper Alerts (Sabotage): Switches on the boltwork cover and/or the alarm module itself can be monitored 24/7 by the monitoring station, revealing any insider attempts to compromise the safe’s security system.
- Video Integration: When integrated with an alarm system, the safe lock BPI can be used to activate video documentation to record safe openings and alarm events, allowing users to see who opened their safe and when they opened it.
