MORX MPR-1 Wireless Remote Door Release Switch (Single Remote)

Overview

The MORX MPR-1 is a wireless door release: a battery-powered key-fob remote with one button sends a 315 MHz signal to a receiver whose relay switches the door lock, from up to 30 m away. It lets a receptionist, shop owner or security guard open a door from a desk or across a room, and avoids running cable for an exit button on retrofit jobs. It can also release gates, automatic doors and doorbells. This is the single-remote version.

Is it right for you?

• Suits doors opened by a person at a desk, counter or guard post.
• Suits retrofit jobs where cabling an exit button would be disruptive.
• Suits both fail-safe and fail-secure locks, since the receiver gives normally open (NO), normally closed (NC) and common (COM) contacts.
• If two people need remotes, the MORX Wireless Remote Kit comes with two; compatibility between the two products is not confirmed, so do not mix them.
• If the door needs a wired button as well, the MORX MS-1 can be paralleled on the same controller exit input.

Key features

• 315 MHz radio with -95 dB receiving sensitivity and an effective distance of up to 30 m.
• Receiver output on NO, NC and COM contacts, so it controls fail-safe or fail-secure locks or a controller input.
• Receiver runs on 12 V DC and draws under 10 mA.
• ABS plastic housings; the remote has a slide cover and a key ring.
• No delay function, so the unlock time comes from the controller or the lock timer.

What else you need

• A 12 V DC supply for the receiver, usually the same supply as the lock.
• A lock to release: an electromagnetic (EM) lock, electric strike, drop bolt or rim lock, or an access controller with an exit input.
• A battery for the remote when it runs down.

Installation

An access control installer or electrician should fit it. The receiver is mounted near the door and wired to 12 V DC and to the lock supply or controller exit input. The signal passes through walls, floors and doors, but the 30 m range drops with metal doors, concrete and interference, so test from the intended operating position before fixing the receiver.

Before you buy

• One remote is included; order more remotes if several people need one, and check pairing with us first.
• No built-in delay: set the unlock time on the access controller or the lock if it has a timer.
• 30 m is a maximum in clear conditions.
