Garage remote controls within the existing access control

Two Wiegand receivers at the entry and exit of the underground garage add radio remotes to the office building’s access control — with no controller replacement and no second user database.

01 / Investment context

What problem does this configuration solve?

The office building has an underground garage used by 150 people from the tenant companies. Entry and exit currently work with a card: the driver has to lower the window and reach out to the reader at the barrier. In rain and in winter this is inconvenient, and in the morning rush hour every such stop lengthens the queue on the ramp.

The manager wants to give tenants remotes but does not want a second rights system. The building’s access control is already running: it holds people, cards, schedules and blocks. A separate radio system with its own list of remotes would mean two databases to maintain — and the risk that the remote of someone who has left the company stays active because nobody removed it in the second place.

The investor’s goal: Entry to the garage with a remote, without lowering the window — with the same rights database, the same controller and the same software as before.

How does this configuration work?

At both the garage entry and the exit there is a Wiegand receiver (ORW-GE). It picks up the tenant’s remote (PUK-142), converts the signal into the Wiegand 26 or 34 protocol and passes it to the existing access controller exactly as a card reader does. To the controller, the remote is simply another credential with its own number.

Rights, schedules and blocks stay in the access control software the manager already works with. The remote is added there to the person’s account like a new card, and when a tenant’s lease ends or a loss is reported, the manager disables the remote in the same place as the card. If the right is confirmed, the controller opens the barrier — just as it does when a card is presented.

The receiver has an IP65 housing and can be placed where it picks up an approaching car well; it is connected to the controller by a data line cable of up to 200 m. The remote has a stainless steel housing and a sliding cover that protects the buttons from accidental presses.

02 / Operating principle

From signal to action.

A tenant’s remote works in the garage like one more card: a Wiegand receiver passes its number to the controller the manager already uses.

  1. 01 / Signal source

    PUK-142 Tenant’s remote

    The driver presses a button in front of the barrier, without lowering the window.

  2. 02 / Reception

    ORW-GE Wiegand receiver at the barrier

    Passes the remote’s number to the controller exactly as a card reader does.

  3. 03 / Action

    Barrier Garage entry and exit

    The existing controller checks the right as it would for a card and opens the barrier.

A tenant’s remote and card sit in one rights database. The manager adds and disables the remote in the same software as the card, with no second list to keep track of.

Catalogue figures describe a device under stated conditions, usually in open terrain, and are not a guaranteed range in every installation. Device quantities in the examples are indicative.

04 / Value for the investor

What does this solution give you?

One rights database

A person’s remote and card sit in one system, so when a tenant’s employee leaves, access is closed in one place, with no second list to keep track of.

Smooth entry

Drivers open the barrier from the car, without lowering the window and reaching for the reader, so the queue on the ramp shrinks faster at rush hour.

No controller replacement

The receiver connects to the existing controller like a reader, so the investment is limited to two receivers and remotes for the tenants.

05 / Before installation

What needs to be settled for a similar investment?

Before devices are chosen, what matters is the site’s conditions and how the system ties into the final installation.

Requirements to verify

  • The controller’s Wiegand format — 26 or 34 bits — and a free reader input at the entry and at the exit.
  • Whether the access control software allows one person to be assigned a card and a remote at the same time.
  • A data line cable of up to 200 m from receiver to controller, and 12 V DC power at the receiver — from the controller or from a separate power supply.
  • Where the receivers are mounted, and a range test from a car in front of the barrier — especially at the exit from inside the garage.
  • Who issues remotes to tenants and how a tenant reports a lost remote.
