Overview
In response to a market need for improved K-12 perimeter security Von Duprin created the Remote Undogging (RU) option.
In schools with a networked access control system, it is estimated that only half of secondary doors are connected, because the majority of available security funds are focused on the main entrances1. Not surprisingly, over 55% of schools reported that their secondary doors were frequently left unlocked or propped open, with 22% stating that this occurs on a weekly or even daily basis2. This results in vulnerabilities that compromise the building’s everyday security and limits the ability of administrators to effectively lockdown the facility in an emergency.
The RU option is a battery powered wireless solution that enables remote undogging and door status monitoring. The door status monitoring provides visibility to request to exit (RX), latchbolt monitor (LX) and door position switch (DPS). It enhances perimeter security by providing electronic override of mechanical dogging for emergency facility lockdown.
It is available as a modular kit that can be added to any existing Von Duprin 98/99 or 33A/35A Series device. For customers desiring real time lockdown and monitoring, RU is designed to connect to Allegion’s Software Alliance Members via IP. The RU can also be used with RSI connection to the ENGAGE™ gateway for daily schedule reporting.
