Norbain enriches Access Control offering
May 2 2007
Reading, UK
Norbain has announced that it can now offer customers a UK exclusive, the newly released MicroGarde® II from TDSi. Each MicroGarde II comes with free MicroGarde software and has the advantage of central control and event reporting.
MicroGarde II is a two door networkable controller, which means Norbain can now offer up to 400 doors on the standard Microgarde software. MicroGarde software is simple to install and configure while custom event reporting with search/sort criteria allows for simple auditing and automated backup for peace of mind. Each MicroGarde II controller has full distributed intelligence and will function even if communication with the server is lost. Additional I/O and IP modules are available should they be required. The MicroGarde II controller is also fully compatible with eXguard PRO advanced access management software for further integration capabilities.
"Since its launch two years ago, the single door MicroGarde controller has enabled the installer to offer greater flexibility within a TDSi system design," says Frank Sandham, business development manager – access control. "We’re delighted that we can now offer the new MicroGarde II for those applications where it may be more convenient to group doors in pairs. Flexible communication options of RS232, RS485 or optional IP converter also help to keep install costs to a minimum."
Duncan Gooch, product manager for TDSi adds: "TDSi works closely with Norbain to deliver reliable products that both meet the needs of the customer and include features that provide additional benefits to the client. MicroGarde II is testament to this, offering a compact 2-door controller and power supply package that is simple to install and represents excellent value for money."
