CompX eLock 300 Series is a keyless, network ready, temperature monitoring with access control lock for refrigerators / freezers. CompX eLock eliminates manual temperature logging, prevents human error and automatically records temperature at programmed intervals. All data history is archived and easily accessible. Since the eLock is keyless system, there are NO keys to lose or share. The eLock records up to 500,000 temperature data points and provides a comprehensive audit trail of the last 15,000 access attempts - including date, time and user name which can be viewed with LockView 4 software.
Typical Installation
The eLock with standard temperature monitoring, monitors internal temperature of 100°C to -40°C; ultra-low temperature monitoring, 100°C to -100°C, is also available.
The network function allows two-way (eLock and LockView 4 software) communication on existing network systems either by 802.11g wireless or Ethernet connection; proprietary access points, repeaters or other infrastructure alterations are not required. The transmission of eLock access data (audit trail) and temperature logs occurs wirelessly from the eLock to a facility™s wireless access point (i.e. router), where the information is then delivered to the network server. LockServ, a module of LockView 4 software, resides on the network and directs information from the server to LockView for processing. Information from LockView to the eLock will follow the reverse path, enabling two-way communication while utilizing familiar security encryption methods; WEP 64-key, WEP 128-key, WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (AES) and other enterprise-class wireless security. An average data transfer of four (4) user changes and twenty-five (25) audit trail events is around 20 KB. As a means of comparison, this is equal to the size of a small email message.
LockView 4 software enables updates via the network to any eLock on the system. Updates can include: user changes, eLock changes and access rights changes.
The network eLock with temperature monitoring has the ability to alarm at the unit and at the PC on five different alerts: temperature-out-of-range, low battery, failure on network check-in, *unauthorized entry and *door ajar (*requires optional door switch). Alerts can be sent by email, or Short Message Service (SMS), to designated responders and will escalate until the alert has been cleared. The Notes Entry feature in LockView 4 software provides documentation for what action was taken as the result of an alert and the Compliance Dashboard provides at-a-glance status of all eLocks on the network.
The eLock can hold up to 3,000 unique user codes and can be programmed to read a facility's existing employee identification cards using HID proximity, HID iCLASS proximity, or magnetic card credentials.
Refrigerator / freezer versions have all three components eLock unit, battery pack, and latch - enclosed in a housing which mounts directly on to the appliance door. The strike plate is easily mounted on the top or side of the appliance and supplies a secure latching point for the latch. The motorized spring loaded latch provides the convenience of automatic relocking eliminating the need for cumbersome hasps and padlocks. The eLock is powered by 6-AA batteries (9-volt wall adaptor port is available) and all eLocks have non-volatile memory ensuring that all users, temperature logs, audit trails and other programmed features are not lost due to loss of power.
eLock also available as access control only or as temperature monitoring only.
