Mercury EP Controllers Overview

Mercury EP Controllers Overview

Introduction

 

In addition to our own Mercury Powered NXT controllers (NXT-MSC), Keri also offers non-proprietary authentic Mercury Security hardware, which is supported by Doors.NET Professional Edition software. The hardware platform consists of the EP1501 System Processor Module, EP1502 System Processor Module, EP2500 System Processor Module, EP4502, the MSC-SDM Single Door Module, MSC-DDM Dual Door Module, MSC-SDME Ethernet Enabled Single Door Module, MSC-ICM Input Control Module and the MSC-OCM Output Control Module.

 

Note: The EP series controllers are officially now obsolete and no longer available from Mercury Security but they are fully supported in Doors.NET and fully compatible with the newer LP and MP series Mercury hardware.

 

EP1501 System Processor Module

 

The EP1501 Controller is built on the non-proprietary Mercury hardware platform. Feature rich and fully Mercury enabled, the EP1501 provides customers with a high-performance, Ethernet ready, cost-effective dual card reader panel capable of controlling a single opening.

 

The EP1501 is expandable up to 16 SDME network ready door controllers for a total of 17 readers. Easy installation with Power over Ethernet (PoE) makes this the top choice for a single-door controller.


Once configured, the EP1501 functions independently of the host and is capable of controlling access and managing elaborate processes such as relating selected system devices and their activity to other onboard devices, allowing actions and activities to transpire without host intevention.

 

Offering powerful flexibility, the EP1501 is capable of interfacing with an array of reader technologies for a single opening. Reader ports support separate in/out readers and technologies that include Wiegand, clock and data, RS-485, magnetic stripe, keypads, LCD, and biometrics.


The result is the flexibility, versatility, and reliability you need for system success. Combined with Keri’s Doors.NET Professional Edition software, the EP1501 provides customers the ultimate in power and flexibility.

 

EP1502 System Processor Module

 

The EP1502 is a powerful system processor module capable of managing two doors/readers “on board” and up to 64 doors and thousands of I/O points via connection to additional reader or I/O modules. Based on the intelligent, non-proprietary Mercury hardware, the platform uses an RS-485 or Ethernet link to connect to Doors.NET Professional Edition software to provide access control, alarm management and scheduled operations all in one package.

 

With native TCP/IP connectivity, the EP1502 platform functions independently of the host, controlling access, managing alarms and interfacing with an array of reader technologies through its Wiegand, magnetic stripe and biometric RS-485 connectivity. In addition, it is capable of centralized biometric template management. The result is the flexibility, versatility and reliability you need for system success.

Alarm Management capabilities include standard or customized end-of-line resistances, programmable sensitivity and hold time for line conditioning, entry delay latching and unlatching options, and entry/exit delays.

The EP1502 is the intelligent cornerstone of an access system, providing its first two reader capabilities and the capacity to expand to up to 64 doors. Reliably distributing intelligence, the EP1502 ensures that activities generated by select devices can be related to other devices for continued actions without host intervention.

 

The result is the flexibility, versatility, and reliability you need for system success. Combined with Keri’s Doors.NET Professional Edition software, the EP1502 provides customers the ultimate in power and flexibility.

 

EP2500 System Processor Module

 

The EP2500 is an intelligent controller platform with native network support. This powerful and high-performance

platform provides an Ethernet ready, fault-tolerant panel capable of efficiently managing a large network of reader

and I/O modules in any system design.


Based on the intelligent, non-proprietary Mercury Access Foundation, the platform uses an RS-485 or Ethernet link to connect to Keri’s Doors.NET Professional Edition software to provide access control, alarm management and scheduled operations all in one package. The EP2500 is capable of elaborate processes and procedures without host intervention. Once configured, the EP2500 functions independently of the host, and is capable of controlling access, managing alarms, interfacing with an array of Mercury hardware devices, all while providing the decision-making oversight that each system configuration

requires.

Providing centralized biometric template management, the EP2500 supports the range of reader technologies, including Wiegand, magnetic stripe and biometric RS-485 connectivity.


As an intelligent system cornerstone capable of enterprise-wide performance, the EP2500 provides the greatest system capacity within Mercury’s family of controller platforms. The EP2500 is best deployed in systems where high-end capabilities and network-ready capacity are required. For high device counts, large numbers of readers and a high volume of system activity, the EP2500 is the controller of choice. The result is the flexibility, versatility, and reliability you need for system success. Combined with Keri’s Doors.NET Professional Edition software, the EP2500 provides customers the ultimate in power and flexibility.

 

 

 

EP4502 System Processor Module

 

The EP4502 intelligent controller is the most powerful controller in the Mercury product family, the EP4502 is built on the Linux operating system enabling the integration of complementary third-party software applications onboard. The enhanced memory footprint provides support for large-scale system deployments with significant user record and database requirements.

 

The controller’s enhanced onboard memory is designed to support multiple system applications and increased card populations with its storage capacity of up to 2,000,000 user records and an event buffer of 50,000 transactions. The flexible EP4502 utilizes the Linux operating system for extensive communications support and heightened IT security capabilities. It is also capable of managing access and alarms, and interfacing with an array of Mercury hardware devices - all while providing the required decision-making oversight

 

Providing centralized biometric template management, the EP2500 supports the range of reader technologies, including Wiegand, magnetic stripe and biometric RS-485 connectivity. The controller can also be used for complex Automation tasks and Elevator Control.
