Storm AXS Range StrikeMaster access-control keypad

Click2Contact

The Storm AXS StrikeMaster access-control keypad is a self-contained system constructed to withstand hard use and abuse in exposed, unsupervised, public locations. When authorised personnel enter a unique personal identification number (PIN) into the keypad, it triggers an electrically operated strike or lock. This permits access through a normally locked door or barrier. Up to 50 individual PINs can be programmed into the keypad.

Codes can be programmed either to open the door for a preset time, allowing just one person to enter, or to hold the door in an unlocked condition until the code is re-entered. In this way, the code can be used as a traditional key. Each code can be changed or cancelled at any time, thus withdrawing an individual’s access to a secured area.

The keypad can also be used to give a discreet warning of attack or kidnap. If any programmed PIN is prefixed by two special digits, a silent warning is transmitted. The attacker is kept unaware that a warning has been sent as the door or barrier appears to operate normally.

The product also includes an electronic sensor that detects any attempt to remove or tamper with the keypad. This sensor can also be connected to a magnetic switch attached to the door. If an intruder forces the door open without first entering a correct code, the sensor will trigger the keypad’s integrated alarm circuit.

The keypad can be quickly and easily installed to prevent unauthorised access to schools, offices, private buildings or restricted areas. It is both weather- and vandal-resistant.
