Keyless Entry Systems - Dan-Mar Company

On Gard™ Keyless Entry System

Dan-Mar Company designs and manufactures highly reliable custom Keyless Switches and Keyless Entry Systems for emergency, public service, construction, recreational and other vehicles, for controlling use, entry to secure areas and for other limited access applications. These microprocessor controlled systems provide multiple outputs which can be utilized to perform independent functions such as lock, unlock, up, down, on, off, flashing and timed operations in response to codes entered on the keypad. These codes are user defined and are field programmable. Control modules are available with one, five, twelve or twenty outputs. The keypad codes are stored in non-volatile memory and, in the event of a power interruption to the control module, are automatically restored when power is reapplied. The basic unit can be adapted to Customer's requirements by software changes, thus keeping design and modification costs to a minimum. A wiring harness is provided with the control module. The keypad consists of 5 buttons (membrane switches) numbered 1 through 5 or 1/2 through 9/0. A light emitting diode (LED) on the keypad provides visual feedback to the user when entering codes. The keypad is available with LED back lighting using fiber optics. The back light comes on whenever a key is pressed, and remains on for 30 seconds after the last key is pressed. Two (or more) keypads* may be used with the multiple output control modules to allow codes to be entered at different locations. Custom keypads with 10 (or more) buttons are available. Keypad graphics can be customized to match Customer's color schemes. Keypads can be supplied sealed in a bezel with silicone adhesive to ensure a watertight installation. Note: If 1/2 through 9/0 key numbering is used with a 5 button keypad, each key represents two numbers and does not increase the number of codes available. Non-unique codes are possible. For example, 1-3-5-7-9 is the same code as 2-4-6-8-0. Dan-Mar can design and manufacture a system specifically to fit your application.* Please allow us to quote your requirements.
