MORX MAC-D1 1-Door Access Control Panel, 2-Way, TCP/IP and Web Server

Overview

The MORX MAC-D1 is a networked access control panel for one door with a reader on each side, so both entry and exit are recorded by card. Readers at the door send card numbers to the panel over Wiegand, and the panel decides whether to release the lock and stores the event. It suits a single important door such as a server room, cash room, laboratory or office main entrance.

Is it right for you?

• Suits one door where you want a card presented on the way in and on the way out.
• Suits readers with a Wiegand output (26 to 66 bit), including card and fingerprint readers.
• Suits a place with a network point near the panel, since it is set up and monitored from a browser over the network.
• For two doors, the MORX MAC-D2 is the next size up; for four doors with entry readers only, the MAC-D4.
• The board comes without a cabinet, so plan an enclosure such as the MORX Box+SMPS.

Key features

• Holds 20,000 card users and 60,000 transaction logs, so events are kept on the panel if the network is down.
• Built-in web server for setup and monitoring from a browser, with no software to install.
• Door interlock function.
• Wired network connection (TCP/IP) and Wiegand reader inputs with cable runs of up to 80 m to each reader.
• Lock relay rated 10 A at 277 V AC or 28 V DC, so it switches any common door lock.
• Fire alarm input, reader LED and buzzer control, and a power box LED output.
• Optional MAC-RO 4-relay module adds 3 event relays and 1 energy-saving relay.
• Runs from 9 to 24 V DC at 180 mA (without external devices); board 138 x 114 x 27 mm, 150 g, rated 0 to 55 °C and 5 to 80% humidity.

What else you need

• Two Wiegand card or fingerprint readers, one each side of the door.
• A lock for the door: an electromagnetic (EM) lock, drop bolt or electric strike.
• A 9 to 24 V DC supply; a 1 A supply covers the panel, relay module and readers, and the locks need their own current on top. The MORX Box+SMPS (12 V, 3.5 A) is the matching enclosure and supply.
• A metal enclosure, which is sold separately.
• A network point.
• An exit button if you want a button as well as the exit reader, and a door sensor if you want door-held-open or forced-door alarms.
• Only if you want extra event outputs, the MAC-RO relay module.

Installation

An access control installer should fit it. The board is mounted in an enclosure near the door, the readers are wired over Wiegand (up to 80 m each), the lock is wired to the relay, the exit button, door sensor and fire alarm input are connected, and the panel is given a network address. Users, cards and schedules are then set up in the browser.

Software and licences

Setup and monitoring run from the panel’s built-in web server in a browser. No separate software or licence is stated.

Before you buy

• The enclosure is not included; the metal enclosure is purchased separately, and the MORX Box+SMPS is the matching option.
• Check the total lock current against your supply before choosing the power box.
