SOUTHCO’S NEW INTEGRATED ELECTRONIC LOCKING SWINGHANDLE ACCEPTS HID PROXIMITY CARDS AND PRODUCES WIEGAND OUTPUT
Southco® has recently launched its H3-EM Electronic Locking Swinghandle with Integrated Proximity Reader which includes the same intelligent electronic locking and monitoring features as the original H3-EM, but also accepts HID 125 kHz prox cards or tags and produces a standard 26 bit Wiegand output. This fully integrated swinghandle can be easily combined with any new or existing Wiegand-based access control system to add additional keyless entry points to active security systems, and incorporates existing operator credentials.
The H3-EM with Integrated Proximity Reader features a simple, single-hole panel preparation, making it compatible with industry standard enclosures for OEM integration or field retrofits. When connected to an access control system, the H3-EM with Integrated Proximity Reader also enables the user to easily track and record access to the electronic locks, providing an audit trail to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements, such as HIPAA, HITECH and Sarbanes-Oxley.Field Applications Engineer Sonny Van Ngo adds, “The H3-EM Electronic Locking Swinghandle with Integrated Proximity Reader allows the user to leverage the existing building security system through the installation of one, industry standardized solution, while providing proven local and remote monitoring capabilities.”
