Mechanical Key Control • Uncontrolled issuance of keys. • Unauthorized duplication of keys.
ReKeying • High cost of rekeying a facility when master key is lost. • Average per door rekeying cost is $125 to $250. • Labor cost in reissuing new keys.
No Audit Trail • Not able to determine who and when the key was used.
Control by Time • Unknown amount of time facility is unsecured after key has been compromised. • Not able to restrict access by time with just a key.
Standalone Battery Operated Locks • Sub $1000 per door cost. • Limited reader technologies. • Most lock systems require visiting the door to make a database change or an audit recovery. • Requires frequent battery maintenance. • Some standalone locks are not available in Mortise or able to mate with exit hardware.
Hardwired Access Control • Average cost is $1800 to $2500 per door for new installations. • $1200 to $2000 for retrofitting existing systems. • Not required to visit the door for database updates or audits. • Systems can make use of almost any reader technology. • Supports all electronic available locking hardware. • Power supply batteries are centrally located for ease of maintenance.
Risk Assessment • Meet with clients to analyze areas that have potential risk for loss of property or personal threats. • Define operational targets for each independent system. Remember, Access Control is not a substitute for Intrusion Detection.
Verify Flow Patterns • Work with the client to identify personnel traffic patterns. • With larger buildings, watch for trough-put issues at entrances. • Be aware of ADA entrances and exits. • Building Code Issues • Equipment Interfacing requirements • Ease of use for physically challenged personnel. • System design should take into consideration long term maintenance.
Egress Planning • Select the appropriate electrified hardware for the opening. Do not cut corners! • Verify hardware egress requirements: • NFPA 101 • IBC • NEC • Local AHJ
Rated Corridors • About 50% of the available electronic locking hardware cannot be deployed on a rated corridor. • Must unlock during a fire situation but…. • Cannot unlatch and allow positive pressure to break the door’s seal. • Have doors and frames prepped at the factory for electronic locking hardware (new doors and frames).
System Design • Enlist the help of a security professional to aid in the design of the system. • Meetings should include: • Architects • Electrical Contractor • Door Hardware Contractor • Elevator Contractor • Facility Maintenance • IT Department • Occupants of the space
Proper Performance Spec’s • Properly formatted performance spec’s are essential to deliver what the end-user expects from the system. • Spec’s can be formatted for: • Category 16000 for electrical contractors. • Category 8710 for door hardware contractors. • CSI specifications in a Word Formatted Document are available from the Millennium Group.
Documentation • This is a case of more is better! • Documentation up front helps eliminate costly change orders later. • Define the scope of work with all parties involved with the installation of the system and the peripherals. • Don’t assume anything.

Meet the Millenium Family • Millenium for Windows components at your disposal: • Millenium Expert Software • Site Controller Unit (SCU) • Power Supply w/Line Conditioner • Trunk Interface Unit (TIU) • Door Controller Device (DCD) • Relay Controller Device (RCD) • Elevator Controller Unit (ECU) • Elevator Controller Device (ECD)
The Site Controller Unit (SCU) • The SCU is merely a “communications traffic COP.” It can take inbound RS232 or RS485 communications protocols and route them to the necessary pieces of equipment on the node.
PS1 Power Supply w/Line Conditioner • The power supply provides all of the DC power required of the network boards. It supplies 13.8 VDC @ a nominal 5 AMPs. For the average system it can supply power to 15 boards. • The power supply also has an internal line conditioner which provides the filtered biasing voltages for the RS485 communications. • Each installed SCU must have at least one power supply with a line conditioner connected to it.
Trunk Interface Unit (TIU) • The TIU is an RS232 to RS485 converter box. The cabling limitation for RS232 is 50 ft. maximum. In order to go farther than 50 ft; it must be converted to the RS485 protocol. Once converted, RS485 signals can travel up to 5000 ft.
The Door Controller Device (DCD) • The DCD is the heart of the Millenium System. This is the device that connects each of the door peripherals devices to the system like the electronic lock, the reader, request to exit device (REX), and the door position switch.
Relay Controller Board (RCD) • The RCD is an optional relay output board that is employed within the system if additional relays are required to operate external devices.
Elevator Controller Unit (ECU) • The ECU is used to interface the Millenium forWindows access control system directly to an elevator controller. • This board has 16 onboard output relays.
Elevator Controller Device (ECD) • The ECD is a stripped down version of the DCD. It resides on the elevator car and it is used as an interface liaison between the reader and the ECU.
Millenium is UL Listed • UL 294 is the listing for “Access Control Units and Accessories” • All Millenium components manufactured by The Millennium Group are UL 294 listed.
High Standard for Quality • All Millennium Group manufacturing of Millenium components are done under the strict requirements of ISO 9001. • This assures a quality product, delivered on time, and a procedure for reporting and correcting any product issues. ISO 9001
Fully Distributed Architecture • All of the card user data, access levels, time schedules, and other critical database information is stored on the DCD. This allows the entire system to be operational in the event that the computer has a unrecoverable catastrophic failure.
Access Points • Each Millenium System can be configured with up to 100,000 controlled points of access (DCD) on a single software package. • This type of large scale system is achieved with 1000 site controllers and up to 100 access points (DCD) assigned to each.
“ One for One” Ratio • Each access point that employs a reader must have one door controller board (know as a Door Controller Device or DCD). • If antipassback is enabled or if a “Reader IN” and “Reader OUT” is required. Then two readers and two DCD’s must be used. =
DCD Data Storage • 10,000 Card holders per DCD. • 2,000 All Events History (FIFO) • 200 Programmable Time Zones • 4 Separate Time Intervals • 20 Holidays • 8 Vacation Periods • Automatic Daylight Savings Time • Real Time Clock per DCD • Data is stored on a RAM chip and data integrity is maintained with a charged capacitor not a Lithium battery.
Versatility • Expansions to the system can be done one door at a time. • Mutli-door controllers must be centrally located. • Cable Intensive • Labor Intensive • Some reader technologies have a cabling limitation. + + +
You are the System Designer • As the system designer, you choose where to locate the Door Controller and what type of wiring configuration to use. • The Millenium System uses a fully supervised communications method and supports the following wiring methods: • Daisy Chaining • Home Running • T-Tapping • Star Configuration • High Security Loop Back
“Cookie Cutter” Board Design • All Millenium System Boards have the same communications and power wiring. • Fewer wiring errors. • Quicker and easier installations.
Reduce Costs • Only one type of Door Controller Board Needed. • Reduce warehouse inventory of different door controller boards. • Reduce Service and Installation truck inventory. • Because the Millenium Door Controller is designed for a single reader, there are no cost penalties if an odd number of doors/readers are installed. This is not true for systems that use two, four or eight port controller boards.
System Architecture Each DCD has 2 onboard relays for a total of 200,000 per system. Each RCD board (Relay Controller Board) has eight programmable relays, with a maximum of 10 boards per Site Controller Unit (SCU) or a total 80,000 additional relays, if needed.
