FORESTVILLE, CONN. - July
20, 2005 - Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies today introduced its new Schlage
Wyreless WA Series of locksets, a family of wireless access control products
that combines all elements required at the door for a complete access control
solution in one integrated package. The systems install in an hour.
"The Wyreless WA Series is a combination of industry-leading technologies,"
explained Lester LaPierre, marketing manager, Schlage Wyreless Access. "The
RF transceiver assemblies, credential reader modules and energy-efficient battery-powered
circuitry descend from the Modular Integrated Reader Lock (MIRL) platform while
the Schlage cylindrical and mortise locksets are the world's preferred locking
systems."
The new WA Series modular locksets include the card reader, electric lock, request-to-exit
sensor, door position switch, battery pack and RF communications package. Models
include the WA5200 cylindrical lockset and WA5600 mortise lockset. Architectural
options include three lever styles and six finishes.
Either can be used on both wood and metal doors. With both, users have a choice
of credential readers, including HID, Indala and AWID proximity, iClass smart
card, and magnetic stripe readers. Reader operating temperatures are between
- 35° C to + 66° C. They are weather resistant for outdoor applications.
An 8-AA battery pack provides up to four years of battery life. These kits have
a range of 200 feet in normal building construction on the same floor.
The new WA993 wireless exit trim for Von Duprin 98 and 99 exit bars also combines
the reader module, trim faceplate including electric lock, door position switch,
transceiver module and battery pack into one kit. A new wireless exit kit adds
full access control capabilities to new and existing exit bars without wiring
to the door or around the door. Like the WA locksets, it maintains UL-10C rating
for fire doors, negating the need to re-certify the door. Installation time
takes only two hours since there is no need for exit device electrification
kits, high current power supplies or transfer hinges. There is also no need
to core the door or run wiring.
"The new WA Series solutions of the Schlage Wyreless Access line help installers
and their customers reduce the disruption to facilities and workplaces, cut
installation costs by up to 35 percent or more and slash implementation time
by up to 90 percent," LaPierre adds.
