SimonsVoss has taken it upon themselves to make living and working with their system more secure, easier, more convenient and more efficient. In doing so, they've revolutionized classical mechanical locking media by applying digital technology and access control features. Their idea of a digital transponder instead of keys has been globally accepted. They've successfully and consistently turned their vision into reality with a radio-controlled, wireless locking and access control system.
Do I need both an RF lock and a SmartRelay for a Door?
No, the two components work independently of one another and have different tasks in the system. The RF Lock operates a mechanical latch. The SmartRelay operates a solid-state relay. As a result, you need only one of these components at a time.
Can the transmission of data over the radio link be tapped and reproduced?
The radio transmission is based on a method tested by the military. It is a constantly changing code sequence (crypto codes), which is not reproducible. Even renowned test institutes such as VdS and BSI, for example, couldn’t crack the code.
How is the system protected from attack?
The components are designed to resist mechanical, electrical and magnetic attacks.
Can I add a wireless network at a later date?
Yes, the system is designed to add a wired, wireless or virtual network at any time.
Can the lock system be expanded at a later date?
Yes the modular hardware components and the flexible lock plan software allow a modification or expansion of existing systems at a time.
Which components must be programmed?
All components, transponders and locks, must be programmed.
How can the digital locking cylinder’s battery be checked?
The status of the battery can be displayed form the host computer through the SmartCD or wireless network.
Can the lock read HID cards?
Not yet. That technology is passive and does not transmit well through metal. However, a reader interface is being developed and other technology breakthroughs are being considered.
What happens when the battery dies?
There is a three-stage process of battery management that ensures authorized access. In all the years of operation access has never been denied due to battery failure.
Is there a mechanical override?
The deadbolt on the mortise lock can function as a mechanical override for mortise locks. The SV1C cylindrical lock does not have a mechanical override.
What certifications does the lock have?
These products are certified by the FCC not to interfere with other RF-based products. The US RF Locks have all been tested to ANSI Grade 1 standards. The locks are also approved by UL to meet the 10-C standard for fire doors under positive pressure.
Do you have a lock for a glass storefront door?
Yes. The Digital Mortise Cylinder (DMC4) can be used with the most popular aluminum storefront door locks.
How many transponders are supported by each RF lock?
Each RF Lock can support up to 8.000 transponders currently and will be upgradeable to 64,000 sometime in 2010.
What is the anticipated life of the batteries?
The batteries in the locks are certified for 150,000 cycles. The batteries in the standard transponders are certified for 1,000,000 clicks.
When using the wireless network, what is the range between the Central Node (computer) and the door?
The distance between each radio span (Central Node to Router or Lock Node or between routers) is a maximum of 150 feet. The distance is based on the RF environment and can be reduced by the surrounding materials.
What is the radio range for the signal between the Lock Node and the RF Lock?
The Lock Node must be located with 12” of the RF Lock. There is an optional external antenna for the Lock Node to extend this range up to 16 feet.
What are the environmental ratings of your locks?
The operating temperature of the SimonsVoss RF Lock is rated for -4 - +140 degrees Fahrenheit at non-condensing humidity of less than 90%.
Can the lock detect the position of the door?
SimonsVoss Technologies RF locks do not include a traditional door status switch. This capability is not significant to a standalone door with no real-time communications. When the 915 MHz wireless network is used, the Lock Node can monitor up to three input points.
What is the range between the SimonsVoss Technologies transponders and locks?
The maximum measured range is 20”. This distance is based on environmental elements such as the material of the door, the walls, and other radio products in the area.
Is it possible to use the SimonsVoss Technologies locks with an existing third-party access control system?
Yes, you can do this by using a Switching Transponder (TRA.SCHALT) which has wires that are connected in parallel to the button of the transponder. These wires are then connected to the relay terminals of the third-party access control panel. When the relay closed it activated the transponder just as if the button was pushed, opening the SimonsVoss Technologies RF lock.
Can I use third-party access control cards with SimonsVoss Technologies locks?
SimonsVoss has a reader that can read Mifare cards and use that information to send the proper user ID to the lock for the access decision. Extending this reader to other card technologies is currently in development.
