New hotel locking system airs in Ayr
 CISA Wave Mode's contactless technology installed in 84-bedroom hotel
The new CISA Wave Mode contactless hotel locking system from Ingersoll Rand has been installed in the 84-bedroom Express by Holiday Inn at Ayr, Scotland.

CISA Wave Mode locks are specifically designed for hotels, hostels, student accommodation and other facilities with transient occupancy and were chosen to protect both guests' personal security and property, whilst offering the hotel savings in operating costs and enhancing overall hotel security. 
 
Wave Mode's contactless technology means that users simply hold the card up to the reader to open the door. The intelligent technology ensures that Wave Mode only recognises and validates the original card which is encrypted. The card cannot be cloned which reduces fraud and increases room security, while overall system repair and maintenance are minimised. The card can also be programmed to provide access to other facilities, such as leisure areas or vending machines, as well as providing a 500-cycle audit trail. Remote operation means that mislaid or redundant cards can be instantly invalidated.
 
The locks are suitable for all types of internal and external doors and can be integrated into automatic doors to facilitate easy access by the disabled. The lock mechanism is fully certified to EN 1634.
 
In addition to hotel locking solutions Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies are able to provide a much wider package of products and services to the hospitality sector, including automated openings, performance steel doorsets, architectural hardware, digital safes, time & attendance software and workforce productivity solutions.
