“Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.” - Vincent Van Gogh

The Borer Lock Manager/Power Adapter enables a complete door installation including electric release, door sensor and card readers, to be centrally powered over a single 300m (1000 ft) length of CAT5/6 cable. This eliminates the need and costs of providing mains powered fused spurs at every door.

Both Power and Data are supplied from the Borer Midspan Bridge using IEEE 802.3af (PoE) based power delivery systems, providing protection against short circuit, polarity reversal and the accidental connection of non-compliant equipment.

Approx the size of a credit card, the Power Adapter/Lock Manager circuit board has a small footprint is installed on the secure side of the door either within the "Press to Exit" housing (see photo) or next to electric release itself.

Whilst small, it is perfectly designed to perform multiple functions:

1. Breaks out the power and encrypted data supplied down the CAT5e from the Midspan Bridge.
2. Monitors door status settings (Door Open, Lock Status and Exit Request button)
3. Manages the power supplied to operate a solenoid operated door lock, strike or maglock. By managing and limiting the power delivered, less heat is generated and as a result, less energy is consumed and the lock is not stressed, thereby extending its lifespan.

Power over CAT5e cable technology is used to power equipment where it is inconvenient, expensive or not possible to provide a separate mains power outlet.

This solution requires two components as follows:

• A Midspan Bridge at the source, which injects power into a standard CAT5e cable system without affecting the data.
• A Lock Manager/Power Adapter at the destination, which splits power and data for delivery to local devices.

Communications between the Lock Manager and Card Reader is via a four core cable which supplies encrypted data and power. This enhances security by removing the opportunity to gain access by dismantling the card reader and shorting out the lock or power supply cable ends.

Benefits:

• Enhances Security by preventing tampering with the card reader.
• Protects the CAT5e Cable by managing the energy delivered providing a 48 Volts current limited power source.
• Reduces Equipment Cost by eliminating the requirement for local main outlets, power supply and battery at every door.
• Reduces Installation Cost by eliminating the local mains wiring, which in most countries, for legal or insurance reasons, has to be installed by a qualified and/or licensed electrician.
• Safeguards the Electrical Equipment connected to the circuit by only supplying power following device identification and evaluation.
• Up to 80% Reduction in Energy Consumption by managing the power being supplied to operate a complete access control system.
