NEWS ARTICLE ARCHIVESChallenger Access Control Hi-O Interface from Direct Alarm SuppliesHi-O technology brings a lower overall maintenance cost of door environments by providing advanced diagnostic information. Rather than waiting for a fault to occur, devices such as locks, readers and mechanical door openers can report specific information, predict that a fault is about to occur and send out system warnings via Challenger's Forcefield management software. Examples of information that can be captured include: device cycle counters, high and low voltage signals, failure to lock messages & sabotage monitoring. The TS0864 provides a gateway between a Challenger 4-door controller and the ASSA ABLOY Hi-O door network. The Hi-O (Highly Intelligent Opening) system connects electronic door components together over a CAN (Controller Area Network) data network, allowing them to communicate and monitor the health of the door's opening. Intelligence is built into each Hi-O door device, creating a highly secure plug and play system. The TS0864 adds a single Hi-O door to an four-door controller and is polled as a RAS (Remote Arming Station). Up to 4 TS0864 can be connected to a single 4 Door controller. A 4-door controller can support up to 4 doors of any combination of conventional or Hi-O doors on its local LAN. Features Forcefield management software reports Hi-O based alarms and diagnostic trouble codes. One connection to the TS0864 links all Hi-O devices around the door straight onto the Challenger Door Controller LAN Encrypted communications around Hi-O door devices on the Hi-O CAN. Onboard inputs and outputs for non-Hi-O based devices such as local door alarm annunciation devices or additional door contacts. (Hi-O lock may include built-in door contact) Plug 'n' play feature means door devices immediately begin working together when connected on the Hi-O network. (In Hi-O Installation mode) Challenger readers or keypads can be conveniently terminated at the same location as Hi-O devices Can be mounted within TS0866/TS0867 or in optional TS1647 enclosure with tamper protection.
