Stand-alone Unit

The T3510 can be installed without a PC connection where the T3510 is easily setup using a Master Card to add or delete users. Whilst the T3510 performs best when connected to a PC, using it in stand alone mode means it can function in the simplest of environments, with minimal fuss. The T3510 is programmed with up to three Master Cards using feedback LED’s and switches. This offers the user a quick and easy method of adding or removing access rights for individuals.

Any standard burglar alarm can be connected directly to the T3510 so an audible and/or visual alert is immediately triggered from a forced entry.

Connected To a PC or PC network

Used in this mode the T3510 is the best there is in the market. The plug & play features allow Smart Card scanners, door locks and security equipment to be controlled by the WinACnet software. This latest .NET software also controls the list of valid badge holders, access patterns and audit transactions monitoring and logging every event; providing irrefutable proof of where and when an individual gained access to specific areas.

WinACnet stores information such as calendars and photographs if required. WinACnet allows you to create sophisticated movement and access analysis reports of all badge holders as well as flagging up any irregular activity.

WinACnet creates alarm messages when predetermined actions take place, or if a forced entry occurs. These alarms are immediately emailed to a specified address.

Optionally a warning email can be sent if communications to the PC are lost. Free software upgrades to those with maintenance contracts means the system is always up to date.

Speech output is novel to the T3510, delivering clear English spoken alerts when pre-defined ‘flagged’ actions take place. For example, when a specific door is opened by a specific individual.

The T3510 continuously stores access transactions and alarm events in it’s non-volatile cyclic buffer memory. If communications with the PC or PC network is lost for any reason, the data is kept safe within this buffer and transmitted to the PC once communications is restored. Audible and visual warnings, alert the user if the memory buffer is nearly full, again ensuring a secure method of preventing data loss.

Examples of T3510 Configurations:

4 Doors and 4 Readers
Fig 1 shows a typical four door access control arrangement using a Smart Card to reader gain entry and a push button to exit. The break glass unlocks the door, from the inside, in an emergency.

2 Doors, scan entry and exit
Fig 2 shows a typical two door access control application using a Smart Card reader to gain entry and exit. This has the advantage of recording who entered and who left the building, essential for accurate Fire Roll Call. Again, break glasses unlock the door, from the inside, in an emergency.
2 doors, Smart Card & Fingerprint entry with Smart Card only exit
Fig 3 shows how Tensor’s biometric fingerprint reading units can replace Smart Card readers on a two door setup. Biometrics is not the panacea for all applications but does have the advantage of providing irrefutable proof of who when through a particular door.
2 doors control plus Movement Monitoring
Fig 4 shows the versatility of the T3510 using passive infrared sensors (PIR’s) and the WinACnet software to create a register of date & time stamped movement transactions recorded by the PC. This feature shows when and where movement in an area has taken place, and can trigger the alarm if required.

T3510’s can be networked together to create a powerful computer controlled security infrastructure. The T3510 can be configured in many different arrangements, controlling a smaller number of doors at first and then more at a later date as need and/or budget permits.

As the security network grows and requires more control points, further T3510’s are installed, working side by side within the same network.  This “building block” approach is the most cost effective way to install Access Control

The T3510 has a volt-free input that can be wired directly into your fire alarm system. When the alarm is activated, all doors immediately open for a quick and safe evacuation of personnel. Simultaneously, a Fire Roll Call report is printed on a remote, secure serial printer.

The modem facility within the T3510 provides a simple system at a remote geographical location where there is only power and a phone line.

Installing a T3510 provides a platform for installing other Tensor products such as Time & Attendance, Visitor Monitoring, Automatic Number Plate recognition and Digital CCTV.
