  1. Introduction to Electronic Access Control Basic Electricity, Electric Locking Hardware and Access Control Systems. By Paul Chandler of IDN–Inc.

  2. What Is Electricity? • Movement of “free electrons” between atoms

  3. What is Electricity? • The tendency to inhibit the movement of free electrons is called “resistance” • Some elements are good “conductors” • Some elements are poor “conductors”

  4. What Is A Circuit? • Power Source • Load • Conductors • Switches

  5. Basic Circuit + Load Power Supply - Switch

  6. Ohm’s Law • E = I X R • E is Electromotive Force or Volts • I is Current or Amps • R is Resistance or Ohms • Ohm’s Law is an Equation

  7. E I R Ohm’s Law

  8. Power Formula • P = I X E • P is Power or Watts • I is Current or Amps • E is Electromotive Force or Volts • Power Formula is also an Equation

  9. P I E Power Formula

  10. AC and DC • DC is Direct Current – Electrons move in only one direction • AC is Alternating Current – Electrons change direction 120 times a second

  11. DC - Direct Current + DIRECT CURRENT Load Power Supply - Switch

  12. AC - Alternating Current + ALTERNATING CURRENT Load Power Supply - Switch

  13. AC and DC • AC is distributed by the power company • AC is safer at high voltages • DC is produced by a battery • DC produces a stronger electromagnetic field

  14. Transformers • Used to reduce voltage • Class 2 transformers are power limited • Internal fuse or circuit breaker prevent too much current flow • Choose between “plug-in” and “wire-in” • Specify Voltage and Power, expressed in “VA” volt-amps

  15. Power Supplies • Convert AC to DC • Regulate voltage output • Filter noise and ripple • Over-current protection • Battery charge circuit

  16. Batteries • Sealed, rechargeable battery • Rated by volts and “Amp-Hours”

  17. Batteries • Connect batteries in “parallel” for more amp-hours Charger +- PARALLEL BATTERIES 8 AMP-HOURS + - 12VDC 4 AH Battery + - 12VDC 4 AH Battery

  18. Batteries • Connect batteries in “series” for higher voltage Charger + - SERIES BATTERIES 24 VDC + - 12VDC 4 AH Battery + - 12VDC 4 AH Battery

  19. Circuits • Closed Circuit: Current can flow + CLOSED CIRCUIT Load Power Supply - Switch

  20. Circuits • Open Circuit: Current flow is interrupted + OPEN CIRCUIT Load Power Supply - Switch

  21. Circuits • Short Circuit: Unintended current path, parallel to load, low ohms / high amps + SHORT CIRCUIT Load Power Supply - Switch

  22. Circuits • Series Circuit: Two or more loads in series Load 1 + SERIES CIRCUIT Load 2 Power Supply - Switch

  23. Circuits • Parallel Circuit: Two or more loads in parallel + PARALLEL CIRCUIT Load 1 Load 2 Power Supply - Switch

  24. Parallel and Series Loads • Two or more loads (or resistors) in series: Add the ohms. Load 1 + 2 OHMS SERIES CIRCUIT Load 2 Power Supply 4 OHMS 6 OHMS - Switch

  25. Parallel and Series Loads • Two or more loads (or resistors) in parallel: Add 1/R1 + 1/R2 +1/R3 = 1/Rtotal + PARALLEL CIRCUIT Load 1 Load 2 Power Supply 1.3 OHMS 2 OHMS 4 OHMS - Switch

  26. Electrical Diagrams • Schematic: Shows interconnection of various components + PARALLEL CIRCUIT Load 1 Load 2 Power Supply - Switch

  27. Electrical Diagrams • Riser: Shows wire requirements between components POWER SUPPLY 22AWG 6 COND. SHIELDED 18 AWG 2 COND. ACCESS CONTROL PANEL CARD READER ELECTRIC STRIKE REMOTE RELEASE

  28. Electrical Diagrams • Elevation: Shows relative placement of components PIR INSIDE OUTSIDE MAG CARD READER REX 42” 42”

  29. Voltage Variables • Voltage Drop: Change in voltage caused by resistance of conductor or load • Brownout: Voltage reduction caused by demand on the circuit • Spikes: Momentary high voltage, often related to lightning • Inductive Kickback: Spike caused by collapsing magnetic field

  30. Wire and Cable • Solid or Stranded conductor • Conductor thickness measured in AWG smaller number = thicker conductor • Insulation material determines “general purpose”, “plenum” or “riser” cable • Shielded cable protects data from interference

  31. Multi-Meters • Voltage tested on “live” circuit in parallel with the load + VOLTAGE Load Power Supply - Switch

  32. Multi-Meters • Amps tested on “live” circuit in series with the load + CURRENT Load Power Supply - Switch

  33. Multi-Meters • Ohms tested on “dead” circuit in series with the load Continuity checks for a closed circuit + RESISTANCE Load Power Supply - Switch

  34. Switches • Used to open or close a circuit • Maintained switches can be toggled from open to closed, etc. • Momentary switches return to a “normal” open or closed condition

  35. Switches • SPST = Single pole, single throw • SPDT = Single pole, double throw SPST SPDT

  36. Switches • DPST = Double pole, single throw • DPDT = Double pole, double throw DPST DPDT

  37. Switches • Use a double pole exit switch for “Double Break” lock control Mag Lock DOUBLE- BREAK R E X Access Control Panel Power supply nc c c nc

  38. Switches • Fail Safe locks require normally closed switches in series + Fail Safe Power Supply - N C Switch N CSwitch

  39. Switches • Fail Secure locks require normally open switches in parallel + Fail Secure Power Supply - Switch

  40. Relays • Relays are electrically operated switches • “Form C” relays are SPDT switches • “Dry Contact” relays have electrically isolated coil and contacts. • Latching relays stay activated until reset

  41. Relays • Relays are used in all access controllers • Relays can be radio-controlled • Relays are included in passive infrared motion detectors for egress control • Relays are built into touch-sensitive exit bars

  42. Timers • 7-Day / 24-Hour timers used to schedule door locking/unlocking • Delay timers used to keep door unlocked without holding in a switch • All access controllers have delay timers • Some access controllers have scheduling timers

  43. Electro-Mechanical Locks • Solenoid-Operated bolts • Cabinet locks • Electrified locksets • Electric latch retraction panic devices • Electric trim for panic devices • Strike actuated mortise locks

  44. Electro-Mechanical Locks • Disadvantage: Mechanical wear • Disadvantage: Binding under load • Disadvantage: Power out to the door • Advantage: Mechanical egress • Advantage: Hardware compatibility • Advantage: Use on fire-labeled doors

  45. Electro-Magnetic Locks “Mag Locks” use pure magnetism to secure a door or gate Options include door status and bond sensing circuits

  46. Electro-Magnetic Locks Available in 600 to 2000 pound models

  47. Electro-Magnetic Locks • Inswing doors require special hardware

  48. Electro-Magnetic Locks • Shear locks are used for sliding and double-acting doors • Movable strike plate interlocks with magnet surface

  49. Electro-Magnetic Locks • Disadvantage: Switch required to exit • Disadvantage: Aesthetically unattractive • Advantage: Easy to install • Advantage: Low power requirement • Advantage: Inherently Fail Safe • Advantage: Excellent physical security

  50. Electric Strikes • Companion to mechanical lock • Available Fail Secure or Fail Safe • Disadvantage: Lower physical security • Disadvantage: Difficult to install • Advantage: Mechanical egress • Advantage: Aesthetically neutral • Advantage: Retain mechanical key
