New Southco EA-A06 USB Controller

Southco, Inc.‘s EA-A06 USB Controller streamlines access control for secure storage units and cabinetry by allowing the independent, computer-controlled operation of up to 14 different electronic locks or devices when connected to a computer via a standard USB port.

With independently labeled connections for latch inputs, the controller allows simple plug-and-play installation that can be integrated with any Southco electromechanical lock to enable remote operation.

The EA-A06 features an interface with simple programming commands that can be used with existing customer software.

Using a single computer, the configuration, operation and monitoring of electronic devices is simplified and the need for additional access hardware or devices is eliminated.

The EA-A06, in conjunction with an existing computer, also enables users to remotely track and record access to electronic locks, providing an audit trail that can help demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements such as HIPAA, HITECH and Sarbanes-Oxley.

Field Applications engineer Sonny Van Ngo adds: "When connected to an existing computer, the EA-A06 USB Controller allows remote, secure access control and monitoring of any electronic lock. It is an ideal solution for storage units and cabinetry where security is needed across multiple enclosures."
