OVERVIEW

When large sprawling corporate campuses and exclusive
communities with up to 750 employees or residents need
a gatekeeping unit, they move up to the gold standard:
EntraGuard

™

Gold.

The EntraGuard Gold works as a standalone telephone
entry/intercom system or it integrates seamlessly with the
Tiger Series Access Control System. Once networked, the
EntraGuard Gold manages multiple gates or doors via RS-485.

The EntraGuard Gold comes in two versions: with a
Standard Keypad and accessories or with a Radiant Keypad
and accessories.

The Standard Keypad version features a waterproof
lighted keypad that has a Class IP65 rating. It can be outfitted
as is, or you can equip it with a telephone handset and/or
a low-light black-and-white camera. The handset enables
private conversations while the camera is used to visually
identify visitors at the gate.

The equally durable Radiant Keypad version with
alphanumeric searching and scrolling capability make it
simple for visitors to locate employees or residents in a large
directory. In addition, the Radiant Keypad has no mechanical
or moving parts that can wear out. It, too, can be equipped
with a telephone handset and/or a low-light black-and-white
camera.

Both keypad versions feature a soft-white LCD that displays
up to 4 lines of text with 20 characters per line. You can
program the LCD with up to three scrolling messages.
It’s perfect for greeting visitors and providing them with
instructions on using the system.

The EntraGuard Gold can store directory codes up to six
digits long. Plus it can store phone numbers with 7–15 digits.

An internal modem is included for remote programming
via RS-485. You can make additions and updates to the system
quickly, and the updates don’ t require a connection to each
unit on the line.

When choosing a keypad, you must carefully consider
ambient lighting at your entrance. In prolonged direct
sunlight, a Radiant Keypad might not appear bright enough.
In that case, choose the Standard Keypad.
