Important Safety and Warning Information The T-DAR system may contain, produce and present the hazard for electrical shock or burns with the cover removed. There are no user serviceable parts under the interior panels. Only trained authorized personnel may perform maintenance or repair.
Tips for a Successful T-DAR Installation Six of the most critical fundamentals are: Valid access grant signals must be immediate. The valid access signal from the access control system must by occur at the same time or before the door is unlocked to allow an entry and must have duration of at least 300 ms.
Event cameras on multi-door systems (T-2000) must be powered with ac (alternating current). This allows the independent video signals to be synced. Failure to have synced video signals will result in distorted and unusable event video replay clips. Single door systems (T-1000) may use DC (direct current) powered event cameras.
Site Considerations There are several factors that must be considered when determining the application of T-DAR for the solution of tailgating and piggybacking. These factors are detailed as follows: Consistent Downward Lighting The T-DAR requires adequate and consistent downward lighting to properly detect tailgate violations.
This distance is 200 feet, and should not be exceeded unless a distance extender is used. Information about the cost and part number of the Data Extender is available from the Newton Security. Whenever possible, local devices shall be placed on the secure side of the portal being monitored to reduce the risk of vandalism and attempts to defeat.
