NanoQuest integrates with
third-party systems
Nortech’s NanoQuest compact standalone proximity card reader and
access controller now includes an RS232 data output to enable third party
equipment monitor the use of cards and fobs presented to the reader.
»»THE NANOQUEST IS ABLE TO
manage up to 500 users and
autonomously control access to secure
areas or restrict the use of equipment or
machinery to approved operators.
The addition of the RS232 output now
enables third-party systems to monitor
which users are accessing the secure area
or equipment, for example; where the
NanoQuest is being used to restrict the
use of a hazardous machine to only fully
trained, authorised operators, a third
party monitoring system can receive
information about which operators are
operating the machine and for how long
they are using it. This information may be
vital for health and safety reasons as well
as for accountability in the event of an
incident.
The RS232 feature can be used with
third party systems for many other
monitoring purposes such as capacity
monitoring, where it is necessary to
monitor the number of users entering or
leaving a restricted area, for fee calculation
and/or usage monitoring in commercial
applications, and for providing additional
security.
The NanoQuest can be used as a
completely autonomous standalone

access control system or it can be
used alongside third party control or
monitoring systems using the data RS232
output.
The NanoQuest is quick and easy
to install with simple ‘Master Card’
programming of a wide range of features.
As well as access control, the NanoQuest
offers a secure method of controlling
devices such as intruder alarm panels,
lighting and heating, and has both a free
exit input for use with magnetic locking
systems and a door monitor.
