Alpro introduce a new generation magnet - Vortex 2400 - stronger and greener than standard magnet

The Alpro Vortex 2400 magnet is a unique magnet with patented inbuilt technology ensuring improved performance and reliability and a real alternative to standard face to face magnets. Complete with a conical aperture to receive a strong alloy pin the unit embodies both magnetic and mechanical holding force.Independently tested to 1500kgs, the holding force is 400% stronger, the body size is 75% smaller, power consumption is 50% lower and there is 75% less material used in the manufacturing processes making the Vortex greener and more environmentally friendly that its competitors. Complete with build in LED and dual monitoring.Securing the pathway to environmental change - Vortex 2400In a carbon footprint comparison analysis between the Vortex 2400 and a conventiaonal 600kg electronmagetic locking device, Vortex proved to have the environmental advantage. The results of the carbon footprint analysis and comparison of the Conventional 600kg Electromagnetic Locking Device and the VORTEX 2400 confirmed with certainty that the VORTEX 2400 has a significantly lower impact on the environment.The CO2 emissions and the total energy consumed to produce the VORTEX 2400 is significantly lower than the Conventional 600kg Electromagnetic Locking Device due to a number of factors: Improvement in design (smaller and more compact) Lesser quantities of material used (Conventional 600kg Electromagnetic Locking Device is far greater in physical size and weight) More efficient methods of production (modern technologies used to manufacture and assemble the product e.g. CNC machinery)  Download the carbon foorprint comparison report 2010

Fast lockdown AMOK electronic escutcheon for educational institutions
Fast lockdown AMOK electronic escutcheon for educational institutions

SALTO Systems has launched a brand new electronic escutcheon designed for use in the educational environment. It ensures schools; colleges and universities are a secure, safe place to learn by enabling buildings and facilities to be quickly locked down during a security or other emergency event.In such a situation it could be safer for students and staff to remain in a classroom, securely locked in until the emergency is over, so SALTO AMOK escutcheons enable authorised users to put the electronic locks into a standalone lock down mode, securing the room until help or the emergency services arrive on scene.Compatible with almost any type of door, SALTO AMOK electronic escutcheons have a built in card reader on the inner escutcheon. This inner reader enables users to activate the AMOK function mode in order to lock down the room quickly. Only authorised users with AMOK privileges on their access plan can activate it.The AMOK function mode is initially configured on a user's card access plan by the School, College or University Security Manager via SALTO Pro Access or HAMS software. In the event of a security event, a teacher or other person with AMOK privileges on their SALTO access credential just needs to present it to the inside reader of the SALTO AMOK electronic escutcheon. A green light on the escutcheon signals the AMOK function has been activated and occupants are then securely locked inside the room.If anyone tries to enter the room when the AMOK mode is activated the outside reader shows red and the SALTO electronic escutcheon will deny access keeping the room and its occupants safe and secure.Of course, for security reasons, an authorised AMOK card with lockdown override privileges (typically held by a Headmaster, Principal or Security Manager) will be able to access the locked down room at all times. In this case the reader will again show green and access will be given so occupants can be moved to a safer location or enable Police or emergency services to enter the room.During normal use, to deactivate AMOK mode, the teacher or other person in the room with AMOK privileges on their card, simply presents the card to the inside reader for a second time, the reader will show green and AMOK mode will be deactivated.Completely integrated in the SALTO XS4 platform, SALTO AMOK electronic locks are available in a wide range of models. They can be installed using the existing mortise lock in almost any kind of door, even narrow profile doors, and are compatible with European, Scandinavian, ANSI and Australian mortise locks.

AElement the new face of RFID hotel security technology from SALTO
AElement the new face of RFID hotel security technology from SALTO

Developed specifically for the hotel market, Aelement allows you to integrate all your physical security needs into one stylish, energy efficient, reliable wire-free system. It enables hoteliers to control the security of their entire building, grant access privileges to individual rooms and gather audit trail data from every door - all without leaving the front desk. And thanks to SALTO's new WiDNA technology, you no longer have to choose between the on-line and off-line world. All Aelement locks are designed to be wireless ready right out of the box, users simply choose whether the functionality is activated or not. All you need to do is choose the mode of operation you want "Wireless on-line" or "Wireless ready". If you choose "Wireless on-line" your locks are on-line and communicate in real time with the server. This gives you real time control over the entire property. If you chose "Wireless ready", your locks communicate with the server daily on differed-time communication mode. Wireless ready locks can be "switched" to real time "Wireless on-line mode" at any time. Just plug in the USB-sized RF communication antenna and you are ready to go. The backbone of the system is a series of gateways and repeaters that act as antennas, collecting and sending information from the computer server directly to the wireless locks. One gateway can manage several electronic locks as well as repeaters, minimizing infrastructure costs and maximizing flexibility. It operates on a 2.4GHz wireless network over an 802.15.4 protocol and works with every popular mainstream RFID technology such as Mifare and Desfire, the latest versions of Mifare Plus and Desfire EV1, as well as with standard low cost hotel guest cards. And thanks to its automated "self healing" capabilities plus SALTO patented SVN™ network redundancy, if Aelement should lose RF connection at any time it will automatically scan for a new connection to an alternative gateway or repeater, restoring communication and maintaining security. All Aelement locks are designed to be wireless ready right out of the box, users simply choose whether the functionality is activated or not Advanced security and convenient access management are its core values enabling simple management of guest cards and doors as well as staff cards and back of house doors in a single system. Aelement features a wide range of advanced and innovative hotel management benefits including instant room move and instant extended stay abilities as well as lost card cancellation, intrusion alarm, door ajar alarm, remote opening, real time audit trail, passage mode activation for meeting rooms and automated low battery reporting.For staff management it can provide on-line staff tracking, real time monitoring, dynamic master key functionality and instant master card cancellation. All master cards are uniquely assigned to the specific individual, and have no limitations to how a locking plan is conceived. The card does not need to belong to a group and you can also centrally authorize any card at random and list doors or zones with no need for grouping. There is also no need to issue and collect staff cards every day. Staff cards can be programmed not to work at night (outside their individual time shift) and can be centrally cancelled at will at a moments notice, and changes to the locking schedule can be made on the fly, with no need to manually re-program locks or re-issue cards. But Aelement also has more to offer. Not only is it a secure, easy to use access control system that's packed with technology, it's also a stunning piece of design too. The minimalistic design of its RFID reader looks stylish and discreet on any door. It is available in two contemporary colours, Pearl Black and Ice White, and can be combined with a wide range of designer handles, including a selection from Italian manufacturer Olivari exclusive to SALTO, to make a bold statement that will complement and enhance the interior design of any hotel.
