To ensure continuous operation, access control systems require a reliable source of power.

Access control systems are highly efficient and practical methods of monitoring who is accessing business premises at any time. This not only ensures the protection of a business’s assets but also the staff and their belongings. Unlike keys and locks, the loss of an access control fob does not have detrimental security risks such as being copied.
THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A UPS FOR ACCESS CONTROL
Whether the access control system is designed to monitor commercial facilities, sports stadiums, educational facilities or gated housing communities, they all require a reliable power supply to function effectively.
Although many access control systems have an internal battery as backup, this will only last a limited amount of time and may not protect against power fluctuations. In busy entrance/exit environments a more sustainable backup power supply is therefore necessary. As the power requirement of access control systems is relatively small, a UPS system is not only the most practical solution but also an inexpensive method of backup power.
A UPS, such as a reliable single phase CertaUPS system will ensure power fluctuations, spikes or brownouts do not result in a reconfiguration of the access control system and will keep the system online 24/7.
RECOMMENDED UPS SYSTEMS FOR ACCESS CONTROL
Due to the relatively low power requirement of access control systems, we recommend a single phase, line interactive or online double conversion UPS system. Perfect for access control applications, the CertaUPS single phase range are known for their superior component structure and reliability.
