Controlling electronic locking devices

The EA-A06 USB controller from Southco allows the computer-controlled operation of up to 14 different electronic locks or other devices when connected to a standard computer USB port.

With independently labelled connections for latch inputs, the controller allows simple plug-and-play installation that can be integrated with any Southco electromechanical latch solution. The EA-A06 features a user-friendly interface with simple programming commands that can be used with existing customer software, simplifying the configuration, operation and monitoring of the electronic devices through a single computer – eliminating the need for additional access hardware or devices. Remote tracking and recording of access can be achieved by connecting to an existing computer. Field applications engineer Sonny Van Ngo commented: "When connected to an existing computer, the controller allows remote, secure access control and monitoring of any electronic lock, making it an ideal solution for industries that must comply with regulatory requirements."
