Compass Hardware




The Intelligent Reader Module (IRM) serves as the door controller for Compass 6e integrated security management and access control systems.  The IRM can also be configured for credential or biometric control of elevators, lighting and HVAC, as well as arming/disarming zones based upon card activity.

All Intelligent Modules (IMs) use advanced circuit board design, a high speed RabbitTM processor, and surface mount component technology.  Compass hardware is unlike any other in the security industry.  Using combinations of only three modules - IRM (Reader Control), IIM (Input Monitoring) and IOM (Output Activation) - you can achieve nearly limitless capability in an extremely small footprint.

Compass systems can accommodate a single entry or campus-wide enterprise application and everything in between.  Systems can be easily and economically expanded as requirements change or grow.

MAIN FEATURES

A variety of communication options are available through the use of plug-on daughterboard communication adapters.  Adapters are available to support TCP/IP, RS-485, RS-232 and dial-up topologies.  Any combination of these techniques may be used in a single system, reducing overall sytem cost and significantly expanding system capability.

Compass Hardware - IOM




The Intelligent Output Module (IOM) provides high density, fully programmable relay outputs for control of a variety of operations such as HVAC, lighting, locks and gates.  The IOM interfaces with a wide range of other security and non-security related systems.  Outputs can be activated or de-activated based upon the change of input status, time control function, or an operator command.

All Intelligent Moducles (IMs) use advanced circuit board design, a high speed RabbitTM processor, and surface mount component technology.  Compass hardware is unlike any other in the security industry.

Compass Hardware - IIM


The Intelligent Input Module (IIM) provides high density, configurable inputs for monitoring a host of sensors and systems including door contacts, motion detectors, glass break sensors devices, temperature alarms, fire alarm panels and any other unit that needs to be supervised and have their real-time status displayed.

All Intelligent Modules (IMs) use advanced circuit board design, a high speed RabbitTM processor, and surface mount component technology.  Compass hardware is unlike any other in the security industry.

Compass Hardware - RCO

The Reader Controlled Output (RCO) Kit is used for elevator floor control, and a variety of other facility controls based upon cardholder privileges.  The Kit is a packaged combination of one IRM (inputs, outputs disabled), one IOM, one RS-485 sub-communication daughterboard and one RS-485 control daughterboard.

Each RCO Kit provides control for sixteen floors, divided as needed, per two elevator cabs.  Up to six additional output modules (IOM) can be added to a kit for elevator control up to 112 floors, divided as needed, per 2 cabs.  The RCO Kit can also be used to interface with other systems such as HVAC and lighting control.

All Intelligent Modules (IM) use advanced circuit board design, a high speed RabbitTM processor, and surface mount component technology.
