A star turn from BPT
BPT products make 'perfect properties' TV show.
This can provide end users with considerable cost savings when it comes to power bills from heating, lighting, air conditioning, PCs, factory machinery, etc Depending on the nature of the installation, the IXP 400 achieves this saving through zone counting, using sensors or long range readers, or through 'reason' codes to activate or deactivate power supplies.
Using the zone counting method, specific areas' power can be controlled by fitting the access control system with Impro IN and OUT readers at the entrance of each zone, configured to support strict anti-passback control.
The readers' software counts people entering and exiting the zone; the first person to enter activates the power on; the last person to leave automatically triggers the power off.

BPT launches Impro Supagate
Impro SupaGate is a highly cost-effective and convenient pedestrian and vehicular proximity access control system for domestic and small commercial premises.
Such a method is ideal for larger zoned areas, such as factories.
For installations that are in operation 24 hours day, energy savings can still be made using the IXP 400 with either PIRs or long range readers.
The former are used to turn power on in specific areas where movement has been detected, i.e turning off the lights on an office floor which has been vacated by all staff at the end of the working day or weekend.
The latter, works on a similar principle, but instead of detecting movement, uses strategically placed readers (usually in a hallway) to read the employee's access control cards from up to a metre away; power is then activated in the zone ahead.
Where restrictions are required as to who can activate the power in a zone, and when and why, then the IXP 400 can also help.
Installing a keypad reader with the access control system means an employee must then present his/her tag to the reader and punch in their PIN code and a 'reason' code from the list supplied.
This is ideal for factories that work on shifts, where the power is turned off at the end of a shift, but needs to be re activated at the start of the next.
Not only does this provide cost savings, but is also good news for health and safety.
The Impro IXP 400 from BPT Security Systems is scaleable in design, enabling single users to start with one PC and expand to accommodate multiple remote users on LAN and WAN configurations.
Connection can be made to these networks using Internet (TCP/IP) connectivity, thereby utilising existing network structures and keeping costs down.
It forms part of the full range of Impro access control systems distributed exclusively in the UK from BPT Security Systems (UK) ., which also includes the IXP 121 and 200 for small to medium sized applications.
The Impro IXP systems come with a range of readers, including attractive metal vandal resistant models.
