MORX MAC-D2 2-Door Access Control Panel with Power Box

Overview

This item is the MORX MAC-D2 two-door access control panel supplied together with a MORX power box, so the controller arrives with an enclosure and power supply instead of as a bare board. The MAC-D2 manages two doors with an entry and an exit reader on each, and suits offices, server rooms, labs, hostels and factories that want two doors under central card control, for example a main entrance and an inner door, or the two doors of an interlocked airlock.

Is it right for you?

• Suits two doors where cards are used in both directions, with the enclosure and supply sorted in one order.
• Suits an airlock, since the door interlock keeps one door shut while the other is open.
• Suits readers with a Wiegand output, including card and fingerprint readers.
• If you already have an enclosure and supply, the bare MORX MAC-D2 panel is the same controller on its own.

Key features

• MAC-D2 controller holding 20,000 card users and 60,000 transaction logs.
• Built-in web server for setup and monitoring from a browser.
• Door interlock between the two doors.
• Wired network connection (TCP/IP) to the management PC, and Wiegand reader inputs with up to 80 m cable runs.
• Supplied with a MORX power box, so the board is housed and powered from the start.

What else you need

• Four Wiegand card or fingerprint readers, one each side of each door.
• A lock for each door: an electromagnetic (EM) lock, drop bolt or electric strike, and an exit button for each door.
• Mains power at the panel and a network point.
• Door sensors if you want door-held-open or forced-door alarms.

Installation

An access control installer should fit it. The power box is fixed to a wall near the doors, mains is connected, the readers are wired over Wiegand (up to 80 m each), the locks and exit buttons are connected, and the panel is given a network address. Users, cards, schedules and the interlock 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 rating of the bundled power box is not published. MORX sells two similar boxes, the Box+SMPS (metal box with lock and key, LED and a 12 V, 3.5 A supply) and the Power Box (metal box with a 230 V SMPS); confirm which one is bundled and its output before sizing the locks.
