MORX MAC-D2 2-Door Access Control Panel, 2-Way, TCP/IP and Web Server

Overview

The MORX MAC-D2 is a networked access control panel for two doors, each with an entry and an exit reader, so both directions are recorded by card. Readers send card numbers to the panel over Wiegand, and the panel decides whether to release the lock and stores the event. It suits a pair of doors in one building, such as a reception door and an inner office door, or the two doors of an airlock where the interlock keeps one shut while the other is open.

Is it right for you?

• Suits two doors where cards are used in both directions.
• Suits an airlock or man-trap, since the door interlock keeps one door shut while the other is open.
• Suits readers with a Wiegand output (26 to 66 bit), including card and fingerprint readers.
• For one door, the MORX MAC-D1; for four doors with entry readers only, the MAC-D4.
• The board comes without a cabinet. If you prefer the panel and power box together, the MAC-D2 with Power Box is supplied as a set.

Key features

• Holds 20,000 card users and 60,000 transaction logs.
• Built-in web server for setup and monitoring from a browser, with no software to install.
• Door interlock between the two doors.
• Wired network connection (TCP/IP) and Wiegand reader inputs with cable runs of up to 80 m to each reader.
• Lock relays rated 10 A at 277 V AC or 28 V DC.
• 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 220 mA (without external devices); board 200 x 114 x 27 mm, 200 g, rated 0 to 55 °C and 5 to 80% humidity.

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.
• A 9 to 24 V DC supply; a 1.5 A supply covers the panel, relay module and readers, and the locks need their own current on top. The MORX Box+SMPS is the matching enclosure and supply.
• A metal enclosure, which is sold separately.
• A network point.
• Exit buttons if wanted, and door sensors 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, the four readers are wired over Wiegand (up to 80 m each), the two locks are wired to the relays, exit buttons, door sensors and the fire alarm input 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 bare panel ships without a cabinet, so add a metal enclosure such as the MORX Box+SMPS, or order the MAC-D2 with Power Box.
• Check the total lock current of both doors against the supply.
