The new thumbturn electronic cylinder from Salto Systems offers a stylish and ultra-modern access control solution for use on doors where the fitting of a conventional electronic handset is not always possible.

With its crisp, clean contemporary styling and smooth brushed stainless steel finish, the electronic iButton RW/RFID cylinder can be installed on any conventional door including tubular steel doors as well as into more specialised antique doors or those found in listed or protected buildings.

The new electronic cylinder offers easy offline installation on all types of doors, and when networked via the Salto Virtual Network control system, can eliminate the problems associated with key control.

SVN removes the need to replace locks when key or code security is breached due to the loss or theft of keys and codes, allowing the access media and locks to be updated, restricted or deleted remotely to provide the ultimate in convenient, secure, access control management.

It can work with the majority of European lock types including Europrofile and Swiss Round cylinders locks and its 'anti-panic' facility means it can always be opened from the inside no matter what the situation.

Emergency opening is also possible at any time using its Portable Programming Device (PPD).

The cylinder provides automatic changing to/from daylight saving time, incorporates a free access mode, and its blocking mechanism module and battery are housed in the protected interior of the escutcheon for extra security.

Power is supplied by a single one-piece CR123A battery which provides 30,000 openings when used with RFID access media or 60,000 openings when used with an iButton.

It supports up to 64,000 users and its audit trail facility can store the last 1,000 events in its non volatile flash memory.

There is no loss of data or time information when changing the battery, and low battery power indication is via the SVN software, with additional visual and acoustic low power indication built-in to the lock.

Whatever your access control needs, the new thumbturn electronic cylinder from Salto Systems provides an ultra modern solution that will compliment any type of door wherever it is used.
