Tensor Access Lite is the latest in our proven range of Windows™ based Access Control Products, from simple door and registration point control, through to a fully computerised global Networked Access Control System.

With Tensor Access Lite and Tensor's T149x scanners, you can control most standard types of internal and external electronic, magnetic door releases and devices, making full use of location points, whether in full view or hidden out of sight, providing access even in the most adverse conditions.

A variety of access equipment, devices and releases can be connected via the T8424 scanner control unit including:

  • alarms and hooters
  • break glass buttons
  • door locks
  • door release buttons
  • electro-magnetic door locks
  • fingerprint readers
  • scanners

Doors can be configured to open on fire alarms and lock on burglar alarms.

The scanner controller is the unit to which all Access Control Equipment within your Tensor Access Lite network is connected. A Tensor T32xx clocking station can have up to twelve T8424 scanner controllers attached to it.

Your clocking station network can consist of one or more clocks, and is connected to a main server PC either via the PC's standard serial port or an ethernet network adapter.

Each T8424 scanner controller can have combinations of up to two:

  • T149x access point scanners or
  • Fingerprint readers

giving you full control over who is allowed access through any controlled point at any time of day.

Sensitive or dangerous areas can easily be denied to those who do not have the appropriate security clearance.

Tensor Access Lite can operate a maximum of four T32xx clocking stations and record employee details for up to 250 people. This edition can also link to your WinTA Lite time and attendance application, where it is able to efficiently share employee data.

Tensor smart cards and key fobs can be used to operate your Tensor Access System.

The proximity read method of the cards and fobs means that you can open doors, gates, barriers or turnstiles in a fraction of a second simply by presenting your smart card or key fob to the scanner.

Alternatively, biometrics can be combined with the smart cards to operate the system.

Tensor's range of dermal fingerprint reading technology gives increased accuracy and reliability, and is perfect for when irrefutable proof of identity is required.

  • Access Control Profiles easily created or customised to suit your particular site, and can be varied minute-by-minute
  • Audit Trail showing who gained access (or denied) at any location at any time
  • Door/Barrier Access can be limited depending on the persons' roll call status
  • Anti Pass Back facility limits the same card being used by more than one person
  • CCTV Tracking (optional) of video clips showing "evidence quality" footage of forced entries, alarm events, users of Smart Cards gaining access or being denied
  • Real Time (near) graphical display shows doors being opened / closed, those with alarm status set and forced entry
  • Doors may be configured to open automatically on fire alarms and lock automatically on burglar alarms
  • Biometric dermal fingerprint reading for maximum security and personnel authentication
  • Sensor Monitoring to detect forced entry
  • Resilient System keeps running even when certain cables are cut or damaged or PC networks fail


Whichever system you choose, whether it be Access Lite or Access Enterprise, you can be assured that you will receive a simple to use, highly secure way of controlling access to areas or buildings, as well as monitoring who is present 24 hours a day.

Albion Design and Fabrication install Tensor


Albion Design & Fabrication design and manufacture display/queuing systems using barriers and audiovisual support methods at their Sandy site in Bedfordshire. Managing Director, Richard Osborne and Financial Controller, Peter Brown, first thought about installing a new Time & Attendance system during November 2003. Their main aims and objectives were a more flexible working ethic for their employees, better HR management especially in the area of absenteeism control; and from a Health and Safety point of view a Fire Roll Call system. They also wanted to improve the existing procedure of Job Costing.
Albion researched what was available in the market and finally decided to buy a Tensor WinTALite, Access Lite, Personnel, Fire Roll Call system. "We chose Tensor because it was a very cost effective solution" said Peter Brown. - Read More
