ASSA ABLOY Centrios Smart Locking System Combines Smart Locks And App.

ASSA ABLOY Centrios Smart Locking System – Released at ISC West recently, ASSA ABLOY’s Centrios smart locking system allows users to manage access to their business by connecting Centrios smart locks and smart readers to a mobile app.

According to Centrios general manager, Bryan Lieberman, Centrios is a brand and a platform developed within ASSA ABLOY, that leverages ASSA ABLOY’s scale and capacity with a bold new start-up strategy and digital-first, customer-centric approach.

“The small business market is about to undergo the type of transformation in digital access management that the residential market experienced between the early 2000s and now,” Lieberman said.

“Small business owners are busy entrepreneurs who don’t have time to sort through the complexity of the current landscape of access management options. Our channel partners want to offer these business owners a solution that works, is easy to sell, is well supported and helps them grow their businesses.

“We listened very carefully to our customers and designed our business structure, the product, user interfaces, support tools and even our sales strategy to help our customers make smarter decisions about access for their business faster and with confidence. All that hard work comes to fruition with the launch of Centrios at ISC West.”

Users with Centrios locks and Centrios Smart Readers download the iOS or Android app, pick a plan (on Centrios.com) and, after enrolling devices, manage who can access doors to their business and when. The system can also include automated remote software upgrades.

Centrios uses advanced encryption technologies to protect users’ data and has been penetration tested end-to-end by an independent 3rd party testing agency. The system also employs various security measures to ensure that credential and personally identifiable data is protected.

The system combines ASSA ABLOY Centrios Grade 1 cylindrical locks and the IP65-rated Centrios Smart Reader, which allows control of virtually any door with electrified hardware — from double doors to garages.

The Centrios Smart Reader is dust and weather resistant, FCC/IC and ADA compliant, and features 2 outputs and 1 configurable relay (2A capacity), 2 inputs (door position switch and ready to exit), a capacitive touch keypad, along with a bracket, and cover plate.

The reader is a discreet unit with dimensions of 11.43 x 4.44cm that works with virtually any electrified locking device up to 2A, including almost any magnetic lock or door strike, including turnstiles and roller doors (bigger roller doors may require external power).

Centrios Smart Reader is easy to install on a door frame, wall mount, or junction box, requiring only 2 screws and a backplate, and it has an operating temperature range of -40 to 60C. Meanwhile, Centrios Smart Reader Expansion Unit is an optional add-on for a Centrios Smart Reader a, providing extra relays and more wiring options.

Enrolment of Centrios devices is by scanning a QR code with a phone, and you customize device and account settings from the Centrios app. Systems users can unlock or lock doors with a touch of their phone to a Centrios lock or smart reader.

With Centrios, business operators can quickly manage scheduled access and retrieve access reporting for employees and visitors across multiple physical sites from their phone or a PC using a Centrios browser.

Balanced between the user and professional installer market, Centrios is a free system that offers businesses an upgrade path to enhanced features and capacities, such as the number of users, door devices, or scheduling capabilities.

Centrios also connects end users with locksmiths, integrators and security professionals through the Centrios Partner Program, which offers partners valuable training content, end user leads, and the ability to manage their own details for representation on the Centrios where-to-buy finder.

“Centrios is more than a lock, more than a smart reader and more than an app,” adds Lieberman. “It’s a business designed from the ground up to serve the access needs of small and growing businesses.

ANZ readers should note the solution is presently only available to the U.S. market – you can learn more about Centrios here or read more SEN news here.

Multi-Sensor False Alarm Resistant Loop

April 26, 2024

Multi-Sensor False Alarm Resistant Loop Configuration.

Multi-Sensor False Alarm Resistant Loop – Is it possible to use multiple PIR sensors on the same zone to create a very false alarm resistant zone?

Yes, we’ve read that it’s possible to use a combination of 4 PIRS to solve certain false alarm issues in tough environments, if the alarm panel managing the loop is equipped with a common negative between zone inputs and power supply.

This is a retro solution in our opinion, but such a circuit virtually ensures there’d be no false alarms caused by false alarm triggers like insects. It does so by employing a parallel circuit that demands 2 or more adjacent PIRs in the zone loop trip before an alarm signal can be activated.

Multi-Sensor False Alarm Resistant Loop

Set up properly, sensor combinations including 1 and 4, 1 and 2, and 3 and 4 would be required to go NO/NC simultaneously to trigger a zone alarm. Meanwhile, sensor combinations 1 and 3, and 2 and 4 would not trigger an alarm event.

You’d need 4-core cable to operate this circuit – if there are isolated zone inputs, you’d use 5 conductor cable to bring in the EOL to the zone’s negative terminal at the panel.

Something that occurs is the relevant sensors need to be covering the same detection angle from different points to activate simultaneously, and this means they’d remain jointly vulnerable to global triggers like birds in flight, wildlife in the detection zone, warm air and bushes moving on hot windy days, etc.

We should point out that we’ve never built this alarm circuit and can’t help feeling that using a high-quality dual technology sensor with an integrated camera might be the more elegant, informative and inexpensive solution.
