‘Easy does it’ philosophy brings field efficiency

There are a lot of different nuances to effectively installing and maintaining security and life safety systems. Of course, power is the heartbeat of any intrusion, access control, surveillance or automation solution.

At LifeSafety Power, our innovation focuses on streamlining the installation process—because that’s where the bulk of your costs lie. We want to provide a quality solution and help you save time in the field by making things easier. And, sometimes it’s the little things that make a difference. For example, different Mercury resellers use different relays for their lock outputs.  To streamline the wiring process, we recently updated our ProWire Authentic Mercury Security Unified Power Systems from three pin to six pin terminal strips to allow the installer to simply plug into the relay being used without rewiring. ProWire prewires lock and system power connections for simple plug-and-play installation.

As another example, we have engineered easy-to-remove ground wires on the doors of all our enclosures with a pluggable connection so no tools are necessary for installation. Finally, we’ve updated many of the installation manuals in our Learning Center to make your solution seamless, including one on battery wiring, a critical part of reliable battery backup.

Providing the right resources and detailed specification information is an ongoing process that’s core to LifeSafety Power’s philosophy of serving the customer. Our website has many other support facets, such as calculators, Application Notes, PowerProTV how-to videos, self-paced training modules, White Papers, software/firmware downloads, troubleshooting guides and FAQs.

Visit 3515 to find out more!!

Now in its impressive 61st year, ASIS Seminar & Exhibits runs September 28 through 30 in Anaheim Calif. The ‘new age’ of power will be there, showcased at LifeSafety Power® booth 3515.

The new and expanded line of FlexPower® Unified Power Solutions will be highlighted during the show. This innovative enclosure family integrates the industry’s most widely used access controller board power solutions, including Mercury, AMAG Technology and Software House. Unified Power Solutions take up a much smaller footprint while providing new installation opportunities for integrators. And that means costs savings and many other efficiencies for the end-user customer.

There’s even bigger news to share: we’re ready to unveil to the industry the first Mercury Security and LifeSafety Power UL-Listed system. We partnered with Mercury Security to bring to the systems integration and end-user communities one of the first UL-Listed enclosures that includes system power, lock power and remote power options in both rack mount and wall mount configurations. The breakthrough is in the UL listing garnered for the complete range of integrated components within the solution. The two specific products include the FlexPower Gemini RGM series, a rack mount product, and MCLASS Unified Power system, both with Authentic Mercury access control hardware in one compact, secure design.

The Gemini RGM rack mount enclosure is configured to save space and provide installation efficiencies. MCLASS also simplifies wiring and labor, saving the expense of mounting and wiring separate enclosures and AC drops for lock power, while reducing wall space with a smaller enclosure footprint.

More new products

Also at the show, check out the new IP Saver™ a custom appliance product family that utilizes a single LAN IP address to service up to 20 NetLink® communication module drops. NetLink is the industry’s only patented network power management system.

Finally, we’ll have a sneak peek and literature on more new developments – the 16-door Mercury E8V1 and the 16-door HID VertX E8V – ready to meet access control specifications of every size.

The product development wheels never stop turning at LifeSafety Power and we’re proud to show you some of the results of our innovative design and engineering at ASIS. Stop by to see why LifeSafety Power is the leader in Smarter Power Solutions and remote monitoring capabilities with modular power systems that continue to meet the growing needs of the life safety and security industries.
