Dortronics Systems Inc., an industry pioneer in off-the-shelf and customized door control solutions, is showcasing their intelligent, fully integrated, and user-configurable PLC interlock Controllers at ISC West 2022 (booth #2036).

Dortronics PLC Interlock Controllers, otherwise known as mantraps, provide systems designers and installers with highly cost-effective and versatile door control solutions for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications.

Ease of installation and integration

Our 48900 and 48500 Series Interlock Controllers are part of a strong portfolio of intelligent mantrap solutions that combine the latest features and high performance with extreme versatility and cost-efficiency,” said Bryan Sanderford, National Sales Manager, Dortronics Systems, Inc.

"Dortronics interlock controllers are designed for ease of installation and implementation and integrate well with industry-leading third-party access control systems."

48900 Series Interlock Controller

48900 Series Interlock Controller integrates with virtually any access control system utilizing dry contacts

The 48900 Series Interlock Controller is a cost-effective solution for implementing door interlock and mantrap systems with up to nine doors. The fully integrated, single-board solution provides installers with complete programming control of all operating and configuration options without the need and expense of complex software.

The 48900 Series Interlock Controller integrates with virtually any access control system utilizing dry contacts. Each door terminal has a form-C SPDT dry contact output to mirror door status back to an access control panel or remote console.

Three individual timing sequences

The feature-packed unit also provides outputs for traffic lights, door violation alarms, and provides three individual timing sequences for propped door time, emergency override unlock, and request-to-exit unlock time.

For added installation versatility, the 48900 Series PLC interlock Controller can be paired with a 4-, 6-, or 10-Amp UL 294 power supply that includes a Fire Alarm connection for emergency egress and can provide power to operate maglocks, electric strikes, and traffic lights. The controller is also available without the power supply and enclosure for connection to an existing 12-24VDC power source.
