Armatura AHDU-1260 2-Door IP Biometric Door Controller, PoE

Overview

The Armatura AHDU-1260 is a networked door controller from the Horizon series for offices, campuses, data centres, hospitals and government buildings that want card, phone and biometric access managed from one platform. It controls two doors and connects to the Armatura One server over Ethernet, with the option of Power over Ethernet (PoE) so one cable carries both data and power.

It accepts card, phone, fingerprint, face and palm credentials from OSDP or Wiegand readers.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a pair of adjacent doors, or one door with entry and exit readers.
• Armatura uses it as the reference controller for elevator control, with up to 8 AHEB-1616 boards.
• Choose it for a system that will be managed from the Armatura One platform; it is not a standalone controller with its own keypad or app.
• It is a bare board, so plan an enclosure such as the Armatura ENC-1B.
• The 550 mA power rating excludes reader current, so size the supply for the readers and locks too.

Key features

• Controls two doors and up to 4 readers, with 3 Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) RS-485 reader ports and 4 Wiegand ports.
• Stores up to 400,000 cards and 400,000 mobile credentials each for Bluetooth, NFC and dynamic QR code, all for 1:N matching, and accepts card numbers up to 512 bits.
• Stores 50,000 fingerprints (1:N, 100,000 in 1:1 mode) and 3,000 palms (1:N, 5,000 in 1:1 mode).
• Two 100Base-TX Ethernet ports that can be set for failover, with optional Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11ac 5 GHz or 802.11n 2.4 and 5 GHz) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.2.
• 256-bit AES encryption between the controller and the server and between controllers, with data protected by an EAL6+ crypto chip.
• 4-state supervised inputs (1.2 k, 2.2 k, 4.7 k or 10 k ohm resistors) plus dedicated tamper, fire alarm and request-to-exit inputs, and 2 Form-C relay outputs rated 5 A at 30 V DC.
• Expands to 384 inputs and 385 outputs with up to 24 AHEB boards on the three RS-485 ports, and 100,000 access levels.
• A 2.4 inch TFT display (320 x 240) shows board, door and network status, and a built-in web server handles configuration, dashboards, certificates, log export and user management.
• 2 GB RAM and 8 GB flash; 122 x 260 x 62.5 mm, 893 g; works from -30 to 70 °C at 0 to 95% humidity, non-condensing.
• CE, FCC, UL, RoHS, UL 294 and IEC EN / BS EN 60839 Grade 4.

What else you need

PoE (IEEE 802.3at or 802.3af) from a switch, or a low voltage DC supply. Size the supply for the readers and locks as well, since the controller’s 550 mA rating excludes reader current.

Readers: Armatura OSDP readers such as the EP10C, EP20C, EP30CF and VG10CKQ, or Wiegand readers.

An enclosure, since the board ships without one; Armatura’s ENC1 enclosures are designed for it. Electric locks, door sensors and exit buttons for each door.

Only if you need more inputs and outputs: AHEB-0808, AHEB-1602, AHEB-0216 or AHEB-1616 expansion boards. Only if you need elevator control: the separate elevator control licence.

Installation

An access control installer or integrator should fit it. The job involves mounting the board in an enclosure near the doors, connecting PoE or DC power and the network, wiring readers over RS-485 or Wiegand, wiring locks, door sensors, exit buttons and supervised inputs with end of line resistors, and configuring the doors in Armatura One or the built-in web server.

Software and licences

Managed through Armatura One Security System. The standard firmware is access control; elevator control firmware for up to 128 floors with AHEB boards is optional and needs a separate licence.

Before you buy

• The board ships without an enclosure.
• Elevator control needs an extra licence.
