EMKA swinghandles address unauthorised access

EMKA offers a range of locks and hinges to deal with problems of unauthorised access around items such as control cabinets and machine guards.

The company has developed a program of long-life-battery-based radio-security swinghandles, designated Agent E, with the aim of meeting equipment requirements such as the EC Machine Directive.

This development line offers benefits in terms of security, access recording, speed of installation and retrofit.

The Agent E radio-controlled swinghandle program does not need hardwiring and may be installed on individual cabinets or large applications with many suites of cabinets.

The EMKA Agent-E Manager remote software offers the possibility of wireless data transfer via an integral radio module, whereby data can be transferred to a control station and/or master office.

This enables the release of handles to be actioned remotely, as well as control event logging.

In a retrofit application, for example, it is a simple matter to replace the existing mechanical lock with an electronic swinghandle with no wiring necessary.

This is possible because of the low-consumption technology, which allows two AAA batteries to last approximately three to four years in normal use.

The EMKA Agent E wireless lock program may be initialised and updated via laptop or handheld PC, whereby the associated software changes and protocol updates can be affected.
