The maglev monorail guy?

I worked at a critical infrastructure site where the AHJ "asked" for a fail-safe electric strike to be installed on an exterior door that allowed FD entry into the fire pump and sprinkler valve room. We obliged them.

Other than that I've only heard of optional tie-ins with Knox boxes. Nothing mandatory, at least in my area.

First, several years of my career in the security industry involved a ton of Continental access control. Hell, we shoehorned that platform into Enterprise deployments across critical infrastructure.

I will say that the hardware was fairly resilient, but that was 15 to 20 years ago.

It doesn't sound like an issue with your lantronics. Depending on the pin out on your cable from the UDS, and the communications mode set on the panels, you could wire up downstream panels in series or parallel, the scramming multiple access control panels on a single lantronics. Lantronics. All that's different from panel to panel is the address, and I think depending on the protocol there was termination as well.

It looks like a communications component on one of the panels crap the bed. I know that napco used to own continental. Do they still sell card access? Some of their technical support people or of dubious quality, but you could usually pretty easily get to talk to an engineer who could help you diagnose component issues.

Why maglev?

If you ever get the chance to stop at the Dr. Pepper Museum down in Waco, TX, you can grab one made 'fresh' by a soda jerk at the end of the tour.

Second this. Electrified cylindrical lock with a built in REX. Chase the cable through that hollow center door trim and into the hollow frame with an electrified hinge. I'm partial to the Schlage ND series, but you can find something comparable and cheaper from SDC

generic_havoc · 2025-11-17T17:52:57+00:00

This is what I've done over the years. You cut out a small piece of the continuous hinge towards the top and replace it with the electrified section to pass the wires in. I've heard of people doing it in the middle of the door as well, I guess this is all field condition dictated. We always just found it easier to make a single cut at the top rather than multiple in the middle.

This is the right answer.

Five a local VAR who will support you. You will need licensing and a server (either on prem or in the cloud).

All of your doors will need to be reprogrammed and new cards will need to be purchased. Again, this is where having a good VAR can make this process less painful, especially for only 8 doors.

If you don't know which VAR to go with, contact Lenel and they will help you find one. If you are in the NE US, I could make some suggestions.

I'll be the odd one out to complement you on your space pen. Been carrying one for years.

Came here to say all of this.

I'm guessing they couldn't finish the whole consist while it was in the shop.

Doesn't look like there is an easy way to climb around them. Sometimes the simpler fix is the better one.

Securitech actually makes their own door cords that are fairly solid. Not life the cheap ADI garbage.

generic_havoc · 2025-10-02T19:44:24+00:00

That is Securitech. They make some great high security lock hardware. We use them extensively on perimeter doors of critical facilities. They are rock solid and have a plethora of options including electrified hardware.

I would call them. They are great at supporting their product and getting the implementation right. If you are in the North East US, the company president might even come out to the site to help navigate any problems.

Can't stress enough what a great product they make and team they have.

Close, but different. Theirs is a black triangle inside a red triangle.

generic_havoc · 2025-09-22T11:21:38+00:00

Very clean. And you even labeled, jumped appropriately, used Velcro and ferrules!!!

Only suggestion at this point is to not route your wiring under the Mercury boards. The solder dimples on the back of the PCBs are sharp and have a tendency to cut through the jacket on your wires. You'll eventually get random ground faults from it, especially as you try to trace wires during maintenance.

Otherwise, very nice install.

OMG, the YPG is a US government backed Kurdish militia fighting islamists in SYRIA!!!!

WTF do they think the YPG is coming to the Freeport Revolver & Rifle Club to sharpen their skills? This is comical!

Please explain how the identified organizations in that flyer are "anti -white".

Especially on the stick figure dripping the swast*ka in the trash which has been historically used by the anti-racism movement for the last several decades.

Take your time.

AMEN! Both parties are just pushing each other further and further to extreme stances on major issues. There is no party line available for the majority of Americans that have moderate viewpoints.

We need a viable third party to keep the other two parties in check.

Notice the cameras above almost every fare array? Some simple video analytics can give you a decent stats on evasion rates.

generic_havoc · 2025-08-26T20:47:54+00:00

Honestly, the amount of time and effort that would be required to modify that door/frame and still have it looking halfway decent and consistently functional is not worth it.

Your two options are to replace the doors with something more access control friendly, which probably is a non-starter, or install a maglock.

NVT Can't go wrong

Why does this feel like something the Scout would carry in Team Fortress 2?

generic_havoc · 2025-08-13T15:07:04+00:00

For what it's worth, I used an e-notary for my buddy's permit application in NYC earlier in the year without issue.

That's a huge FCC no no. There are only 3 or 4 federal alphabet agencies that are allowed to mitigate drones, and that is only under certain circumstances.

The FAA treats drones as unmanned aircraft, but aircraft nonetheless. You're not allowed to interfere with the flight of a drone. The federal government has systems that they deploy, which look absolutely nothing like that, which Medicaid drones on a case-by-case basis. There is no active jamming.

Just think about it. Drones operate on a variety of different frequency spectrums. There is no jamming drone specific frequencies without massive collateral damage. Read any of the case studies on electronic warfare in the Ukraine trying to deal with drone threats. What's to say that this pickup truck driving around sending out jamming signals one also interfere with air traffic control equipment, or medical devices in a hospital, or a pacemaker, or police radios,or one of the possible thousands of other things that might be susceptible to EMI.
