Description
All DIGI*TRAC controllers have the same firmware functionality. A range of models and expansion options provides a variety of access control, high security alarm monitoring, relay control outputs, and programmable logic configurations to fit most applications.
Each unit can be a complete standalone system or a distributed controller in a larger, multi-site enterprise system. This modular design and “scalable” architecture allows a system to start small and grow large.
Access Control System
As an access control system, the DIGI*TRAC controller includes extensive local firmware for control sequences as basic as “who goes where when” to sophisticated functions like 2-person rule, occupancy counting, individual user tagging, door interlocking, and anti-passback.
Access may be restricted based on: Time of Day, Day of Week, and Door. Access may be granted when the user presents the correct code, card, or both. The user may be granted “temporary” access based on: Use Count Limits, Temporary Day Limits, and Absentee Rule Limits, with Auto-Disable or Auto-Delete on expiration of Temporary Users.
Additional functions include: Unlock/Relock, Alarm Mask/Unmask, and Lock Down/Lock Down Release. The associated door may be monitored for: Door Forced Open and Door Open Too Long, while providing Auto Relock control.
Readers supported include ScramblePad, ScrambleProx and, via the MATCH intelligent reader interface, these technologies: Magnetic Stripe, Proximity, Wiegand, Bar Code, Smart Card, RF, IR, and Biometric. Technologies may
be combined on the same controller or the same door in any combination.
High Security Reader Channel
The DIGI*TRAC controller supports electrically isolated terminal blocks that provide communications and power to
the ScramblePad, ScrambleProx and MATCH interfaces. The communication path allows multi-drop connections
for entrance and exit keypads, and dual technology applications.
User codes are digitized for transmission between a Hirsch ScramblePad, ScrambleProx or MATCH and the DIGI*TRAC controller. Digital transmission allows longer wiring runs than are normally available with conventional
access control reader technologies.
High Security Alarm Monitoring
Hirsch uses very stable digitally processed analog inputs with 2% line supervision for high security alarm monitoring. A line supervision module (DTLM, MELM, or SBMS) is located at the door contact, alarm sensor, request to exit (RQE), or similar device to establish this supervision.
In lieu of “shunting,” which turns off supervision, Hirsch uses “alarm masking” for full-time supervision and reporting of line status –– even during hours of authorized access. Conditions reported include: Alarm, Secure, RQE, Mask, Tamper Alarm, Tamper Secure, Short, Open, Noisy and Input- Out-of-Spec.
Relay Control System
Relay outputs on DIGI*TRAC controllers can be used for: electric door locks and strikes, arming/disarming security systems, alarm annunciation, elevator floor control, HVAC control, lighting control, storage locker control, and many other equipment control applications. These relays may be activated by codes (via ScramblePad), cards (via MATCH and reader), time zones, alarms, or logic sequences linked to other relays.
When used with a ScramblePad, DIGI*TRAC controllers are ideal for after-hours tenant override systems. A history of who issued the override command is available for tenant billing or audit trails. The same ScramblePad used for access control can be used for tenant override and remote operator command functions.
Programmer’s Terminal
DIGI*TRAC controllers can be programmed by either a ScramblePad or a PC using Hirsch Host software. The PC can be local or connected by LAN or modem. A ScramblePad used for access control can also be used as a programmer’s terminal. Programming functions supported include: add & delete user access codes, assign unlock/relock codes, assign alarm codes, and assign elevator control codes.
SCRAMBLE*NET™
DIGI*TRAC controllers communicate with a Hirsch Host PC using SCRAMBLE* NET protocol which uses an encryption algorithm for high security. The SCRAMBLE*NETcommand/ packet structure is ideal for LAN and hardwired paths, including RS-485 multi-drop and RS-232 via direct connect or dial-up modem.
Reliability By Design
DIGI*TRAC controllers are designed for “high availability” as complete systems solutions for global markets. Standby batteries for both memory and system operation are standard. The controller ships with an internal international power supply. All door relays are socketed. All Keypad/Reader terminals and power circuits are fused. Each unit is configured in a heavy duty, NEMA style enclosure, with a high security lock and tamper alarm.
