Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies announced that government security professionals can now join their peers in the private sector and purchase a customised electronic locks solution to secure their facilities today while protecting their access control investment for years to come. The new Schlage FIPS 201-1 (Federal Information Processing Standards Publication) AD-Series features provides enhanced connectivity options to lower door opening costs.

These options are available on both the AD-301 hardwired and AD-401 wireless locks which are sold as a complete system from the factory with specific FIPS 201-1 compliant components, including the lock and reader. The FIPS 201-1 locks now communicate to the access control system via two distinct paths, RS-485 or Wiegand. They read PIV or PIV-I compliant smart cards via a FIPS 201-1 compliant multi-technology (FMK) reader and have configurable output formats using specific hardware and firmware versions (FIPS.A.10 or higher) from Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies per the FIPS201-1 certification.
