Access Control System Installation:
We ran wires inside the aluminum frame of the door (necessary Ethernet lines to connect the Access Hub and G2 Reader Pro, and low voltage lines for the two push bars, one on each door leaf).
We installed the G2 Reader Pro outside. We embedded it directly into the aluminum frame, resulting in a very clean installation. On the inside of the door, we upgraded the push bars; instead of mechanical ones, we installed motorized push bars that will be controlled by our access control system.
Thus, the reader is used for entry requests, and the door can be mechanically opened with a key. From the inside, the doors open by pressing the push bar. This fail-secure system will work excellently in case of a power outage, and in an emergency, people will be able to leave the premises without any obstacles.
