HOW DOES CRUSAFE OPERATE?

CruSafe incorporates the following features:-

• Access control - traffic lights, moving displays
• Interaction with many devices, including inductive card readers, embedded PC’s, alarm inputs and web-cams (optional)
• Remote system monitoring at multiple locations (depending on network connectivity)
• Central control displays indicate the location of all personnel either at the point of an incident or as they move around the site

CruSafe uses CAN (Controller Area Network) technology which:-

• Provides a secure, high-speed data link which allows a transaction to be validated in just 4 milliseconds
• Uses a Controller to monitor data which can be either stand-alone or connected over a corporate IP network and can support an unlimited number of devices
• Allows all devices on the network to talk to each other
• Has low-cost cabling and installation costs
• Plug and play technology ensuring a simple installation and commissioning process
• Conforms to the ISO 11898 standard for serial data communication

The CAN inductive card readers which are used to monitor personnel have the following advantages:-

• Use high security password exchange process which virtually eliminates the use of fraudulent cards
• Support a wide range of proximity identity tokens and fobs
• Have a degree of local intelligence which means that any disconnected reader will continue to collect data which will be downloaded to the central unit once the network is restored
• The number and position of the card readers is tailored to the requirements of each installation
• Fault condition and monitoring displayed centrally
• Additional readers can be sited in sensitive and controlled areas at any time
