Intercom Systems

Intercom systems can be invaluable in providing remote communication between security staff and visitors to a site. An intercom system located with the equipment enables you to confirm the identity of the visitor prior to entry.

Standard operating ranges for optimum speech quality are 50, 100 and 300 metres -amplification is necessary for longer distances. Standard systems operate on a one to one basis but multi-point operation is available and all systems are fully expandable.

GSM Intercom Systems

A GSM intercom provides a cost-effective solution for sites where cabling back to buildings is not possible or there are long runs. The GSM intercom requires a SIM card (one per unit) which the customer needs to provide prior to installation. As a simple check, any network that has signal at the position that the intercom is to be used, will be suitable for the GSM unit.

In addition to the SIM card, we also ask the customer to provide details of the numbers that each button on the unit will call to enable the programming to be done prior to arriving on site.

As an option, the GSM intercom is available with a keypad. The standard audio only and keypad version both have a built-in proximity reader as standard. The cost of a digital keypad, proximity tokens and PC programming software are available on request.

Card Readers

Flexible card-reader system which allows integrated access control in different areas of buildings

Card reader systems are numerous and varied. Ranging from basic magnetic key readers, to fully programmable touch-card/proximity readers where each card has its own individual number. Swipe, Wiegand and full on-line management systems are available with the option of full anti-pass back and timed anti-pass back if required.

VHF Systems

Very high frequency control system. These have a range of between 20 and 1000 metres and operate on DTI approved working frequencies. Transmitters are battery operated and available in three versions; handheld, key-fob or industrial type.

Digital Keypad

Digital Keypads are made of stainless steel and are vandal-resistant. The digital front panel is fully programmable with a master code and codes for four separate users. Codes can be changed by authorised users.

HMI – Human Machine Interface

This user-friendly touch screen may be used to monitor and control any of Frontier Pitts automated products in place of push button consoles. It continually monitors the status of the system, providing an alarm if required. The unit is self-contained and stand-alone. With the use of a wireless link, no cables are required between the HMI and our equipment; alternatively a serial cable can be used to link the access control to the specified PC. For more information, please see the Loop page

Safety Photocells

Photocells are beams of light fitted across the road way to monitor vehicle and pedestrian movement

An infra-beam which spans the aperture of the gate opening. If an object breaks this beam, the gates will stop & reverse.

Safety Vehicle Detector Loop

Safety Vehicle detector loops cut into the road surface to detect vehicles. These will prevent the equipment from closing/lowering on a vehicle within the aperture. For special loops, please see the Loop page

Traffic Light Systems

Traffic Light Systems can be installed with all automatic security equipment installations. Frontier Pitts highly recommend a traffic light system be installed in conjunction with a Road Blocker and Rising Bollard installations to ensure drivers are notified when the equipment is fully lowered and therefore safe to proceed.

Traffic lights will “FULL” signs are also available to notify drivers if there are spaces left in the car park

Wig Wag Light signals are ideal for applications where clear and early warnings are essential, i.e. road/rail level crossings

Control System Pedestals

A range of pedestals are available to house the access control system next to the automatic security equipment. This includes standard height, HGV height, dual height (both at car height and HGV height level) and swan-neck pedestals.
