The IXP400i is BPT’s top range proximity access control system which has been used in commercial and residential applications. To allow for even larger sites than previously, the IXP400i has received a software upgrade to allow for almost double the number of tag holders (300,000), up to eight tags per person and five times the number of programmable actions (50,000). Access Groups have also been improved, increasing the number from 1024 to 10,000 and allowing for more per tag holder. Its Ethernet high-speed communications, allowing for much faster uploads to the controllers of this potentially huge database, the makers say.
Retainsd are features including full building management which can the makers say providing end users with cost savings and improved health and safety when it comes to power bills from heating, lighting, air conditioning, PCs, factory machinery, etc. Depending on the nature of the installation, the product it’s claimed can achieve savings through zone counting, using sensors or long range readers, or through ‘reason’ codes to activate or deactivate power supplies to lighting and equipment.
The IXP400i is scaleable in design, enabling single users to start with one PC and expand to accommodate multiple remote users on LAN and WAN configurations. It accommodates up to 3,000 doors and up to 256 sites per system. Built-in battery back-up is standard within this newly improved unit.
The IXP400i forms part of the range of Impro access control systems distributed exclusively in the UK from BPT Security Systems (UK) Ltd., which includes the Impro16 for small to medium sized applications. The Impro systems come with a range of readers, including metal vandal resistant models.
