MBB Gelma Security Fair Highlight
XS reader fitting in off-line and radio versions for simple door retrofitting
 Ennepetal. With criminals tending to take ever greater risks in the acquisition of data, documents and office hardware, more and more companies are equipping their offices with access control devices. When those offices are expanded, or moved to other premises, the question then arises as to how additional doors may be effectively retrofitted and how the access control systems can be flexibly adapted.
Offering a solution to the specific problems that arise, MBB Gelma will be showcasing at Security 2004 a new reader fitting, available as both an off-line and a radio variant, that has been specifically developed to facilitate retrofitting – and both versions can be integrated within existing MBB Gelma/DORMA systems.
XS fittings, like all the other terminals in the system, can thus be amalgamated with the existing database and used on the basis of the same ID transponders or swipe cards. This eliminates the need for parallel employee data management in a separate system.
The new XS reader is based on the renowned DORMA IBL fitting, and in its off-line version functions as a stand-alone access control terminal that independently checks the access authorisation of the ID. In this mode, the XS system is able to handle up to 2,000 ID codes. Thanks to its excellent energy economy, its battery set will last around two years based on 20 operating cycles per day.
The radio version, shortly to be available, is connected via a wireless network to a concentrator (ACU) and operates on-line like a normal reader within the networked environment. In this configuration, the reader fitting transmits the entered ID number to the nearest radio node, which in turn is connected via a DCW bus to the ACU. There the authorisation is examined, and if approved, the door is released, again with a radio signal being transmitted to the reader fitting. This then unlocks the door and allows the access event to take place. The response time with such a system is just 0.5 seconds.
Because the radio module required is simply plugged onto the reader PCB, an off-line reader can be converted to radio operation at any time. As a result, the functional requirements of a growing office can be continuously accommodated without problem. At the moment, the system operates with Hitag IDs. It will, however, shortly also be capable of reading Legic and Mifare IDs as well.
The areas of application are, in the first instance, industrial facilities, administration offices, public authorities, police stations, law courts, ministries, banks and insurance companies.

With a choice of either the off-line mode or radio remote control, the readily retrofittable XS reader fitting from MBB Gelma is the ideal solution to meeting the security requirements of growing organisations. The off-line version can be easily converted to radio mode by simply plugging a radial module onto the original PCB. The system can be combined not only with standard lever handles but also with the full range of bespoke OGRO fittings.
