Siemens DC800 - Door controller

Entro Lite offers a cost effective solution for small businesses that have a minimal number of doors to control, but who still value the importance of high-level security.

The new addition to the Entro range, the DC800 controller, provides users with high flexibility and real value for money, combined with the ease of installation and up-grade path to Entro.

• Use Entro Lite as a single door stand-alone access control solution (up to 2 readers per controller).  All the programming is carried out via the internal keypad with no need for shadow cards, making system set up simple and quick.
• Upgrade a standalone Entro Lite controller to a small networked system (up to 8 doors) by simply moving up a jumper, giving PC control via a RS485/USB converter.
• Further upgrade to a full Entro 5 system can be achieved by inserting a segment controller into the system, the cardholder database can then be imported from the Entro Lite system to the fully featured Entro 5 system without ANY equipment redundancy.

When the Entro Lite door controller is being used as a stand-alone unit, the card controller DC800 is installed in a split configuration, enabling the DC800 to be mounted indoors in a protected environment whilst the actual card reader can be mounted outdoors.  It is also possible to connect two card readers for both entry and exit (BCLINK Only).

The Entro Lite system is PC-based and can be easily adjusted to meet individual security requirements, making the administration of cards and tags much quicker.  The software also provides an overview of all events occurring and the card readers.

Entro Lite enables end users to customise their security requirements, including varying levels of security depending on the time of day and whether the system requires two card readers for both entry and exit.

The DC800 Entro Lite controller can be used with all Siemens readers, including the Siemens long- range technology and AVI loop; also any third party clock & data or 26 and 34 bit Wiegand readers.
