A variety of access control devices to interface with

The KeyWatcher and KeyBank can work as single cabinet systems or designed with scalability in mind, each system can consist of multiple add-on cabinets securing thousands of key sets all controlled by a single console. It’s easy to expand as your needs grow.

Card Reader Relay Input Option

How It Works:

The KWTouch has an input connection on the optional Card Reader/Relay board. This normally open input is monitored by the board. When there is a momentary closure between the RLY and GND connections, the system will unlock the touch screen and allow login input.

Login Input methods allowed after unlocking:

  • Fingerprint scan
  • Secondary card reader directly interfaced with the KeyWatcher
  • Single card reader: The weigand wiring can be split to connect to your access control system and directly to the KWTouch. The 1st card swipe would unlock the KWTouch and allow for a 2nd swipe on the same card and reader to login to the KWTouch for key access.

Once the user logs out, the system is automatically relocked.

Note: Once the relay input is activated, the system will be unlocked waiting for a login for 10 seconds. If no activity is detected, then the system will relock waiting for the relay input.

Example of Use:

  • If the KeyWatcher is in an active area or has public access where the system could be subject to tampering.
  • A card reader connected to an access control system would be placed next to the KWTouch.
  • The access control system would need to verify the card swipe, then make a momentary closure across our relay input contacts. This would activate our system.
