Electronic Latches

E-Line electronic latches protect equipment enclosures with enhanced security and data-collection features while occupying the same space as mechanical latches with conventional keys.

E-Line electronic latches protect equipment enclosures with enhanced security and data-collection features while occupying the same space as mechanical latches with conventional keys. To gain access to an enclosure, users enter a four-digit code on the integral keypad. The built-in LED clearly shows whether access is authorized. Up to 25 code combinations can be stored to identify individuals, and E-line's networking capability lets every opening operation be individually logged. The networking ability also lets access codes be remotely programmed and changed so authorized access can be modified quickly. In addition, a single latch or multiple latches can be unlocked remotely, so access can be granted to equipment enclosures without disclosing an access code.
