Mercury EP1502/LP1502 Intelligent Controllers
The multi-port EP1502 and LP1502 are Ethernet-enabled dual card reader panels for controlling two connected doors and managing up to 64 doors/openings. Built on the Authentic Mercury platform, the intelligent controllers use an Ethernet link to connect to a BluSKY™ host for access control, alarm management, and scheduled operations—all in a single package.
With native connectivity, the high-performance EP1502 and LP1502 function independently of the host for performing numerous access control applications and interfacing with an array of reader technologies: Wiegand, OSDP, RS-485 magnetic stripe, and biometrics.
Alarm management capabilities include standard end-of-line (EOL) resistances; programmable sensitivity and hold time for line conditioning; entry delay latching and unlatching options; and entry-exit delays.
The result is powerful intelligent controllers that deliver flexibility, versatility, and reliability for a successful access control system.
