The iGuard® system capabilities can be enhanced by the use of the Remote Door Relay. The Relay assures that malicious damage to or tampering with the reader does not result in a release of the door strike or magnetic lock. The use of the relay is recommended for all installations and is required when controlling a 12VDC door strike or magnetic lock with a current rating above 1Amp. When using the relay, the door strike (or magnetic lock) actions are controlled by the remote door relay rather than directly by the iGuard® reader. The remote relay will only release the strike / lock when a properly addressed "Release-and-Relock" signal is received from the iGuard® reader to which it is attached.
**Note** The Remote Door Relay is recomended for ALL access control installations. Please call for more information, or for pre-installation assistance.
