S&G debuts A-Series lock with display for ATM access control

October 3, 2017

Sargent and Greenleaf, a division of Stanley Security that manufactures mechanical and electronic locks, has released the A-Series with Display, the newest lock in the company's ATM access control management system. 

The A-Series portfolio of products includes locking systems that manage multivendor access to ATMs through time-limited, single-use codes, electronic locking keys and other advanced features, saving time on-premises and simplifying ATM service, a press release said.

The A-Series with Display features a large, 30-character screen capable of displaying universally recognizable texts, codes and icons.

The display screen allows trouble-free lock interpretation, permitting users to act on information quickly and accurately, regardless of the user's native language and technical background, or noise volume in the vicinity of the lock.

The lock works on S&G's Digital Platform, which offers a flexible, modular design and fast, secure data transfer for advanced security, the release said.

The lock can be paired with a verified USB flash drive to record up to 1,000 events — including when the lock was accessed and by whom. The S&G digital platform permits analysis of a single- or multiple-lock system across many users without the need for supplementary software.

Used as an extension to the A-Series with Display, the new S&G A-Series One-Time Code App gives customers a streamlined way to obtain lock codes without a dispatcher, the release said.

 Other features include:

• 10-minute average installation time.
• A-Seal automatically generated code when the lock is closed.
• Bank mode that allows up to 30 users and a time delay up to 99 minutes.
• Penalty lockout after five failed attempts.
• Service mode that requires PIN, touch key and one-time-code to open.

"A-Series with Display is a significant advancement for the industry as it relates to the two main areas of lock operation -- trouble-shooting and training," states Travis Ferry, senior electrical engineer, Sargent and Greenleaf. "With the large frontal display, it allows the end-user to immediately determine and resolve the issue easily without having to rely on audio feedback and LED flashes."

The A-Series with Display is available in four different bolt types and has attained certifications that include: UL Type 1; Vds Class 2; CEN B; A2P B/E; and RoHS-compliant.
