June 20, 2011 Leave a comment
The Borer LIM V5 (Reader Head Legacy Interface Module) is a low cost, card reader controller designed to interface to 3rd party card readers with existing Borer hardware. It delivers a modular approach in the provision of door access systems.
Approx a 1/3 the size of the Borer LIM V4 (see photo) and measuring just 67 x 37 x 16mm, the LIM V5 supports a card reader conforming to Wiegand (Data/Data), Magnetic Stripe (Clock and Data) or Serial RS232 interface. This covers a wide range of technologies from RF Proximity to Biometric devices.
The LIM V5 gives full offline validation and decision making capability at the point of access, whenever the network link to the host is broken.
Features
- Reprogrammable Firmware with software updates delivered over the LAN allows for the access control infrastructure to be updated while retaining existing card reader heads and card stock.
- Supports for access control card reader technologies including Wiegand, Magnetic Stripe and proximity formats including HID, Mifare, iClass, Legic, EM, Hitag, etc.
- Small size and modular design
- Large Memory that supports up to 120,000 cardholders / transactions.
- Dual database of cardholders and access profiles with a fall-back to the last known good database in the event of a data corruption as a result of an interruption in the database download.
- Keypad Matrix Interface that supports the connection a rugged keypad.
- Dedicated Optical Tamper Sensor.
- Press fit cable connectors’ makes for easy and rapid cable termination.
Benefits
- Provides and upgrade path to smart card and biometric technologies.
- ‘Plug and Play’ makes for rapid installation and commissioning.
- Low energy requirements allows for a number of devices to be connected to and powered by a single PoE technology Lock Manager eliminating the need for a power outlet, power supply and battery at the door.
- Distributed Decision Making allows access decisions to be made by the LIM V5 should the network connection to the central database fail.
