Electronic access is the standard for the future.
The need for keyless entry has been mandated in the hotel industry since the year 2004. Security, accountability and safety of the guests are the reasons physical keys can no longer be used in situations where transient rentals occur. It's only a matter of time before the vacation rental industry follows suit. Owning and operating a vacation rental property using physical keys can be a costly mistake for both the owner and the guests. It is for these reasons that Kaba Ilco embarked on the journey to develop a product that meets the needs of this market. The product represented is the only one of its kind in the world. Kaba Ilco believes and participates in the vision of bringing wireless, remote key management to the vacation rental industry. Easy, Secure, Flexible and Cost Effective.
By using this system you have the ability to control access securely from a distance. Once you give someone an access code you know 1) they will only have access at the predetermined time, 2) they will not have access at any future time once the stay is over. This allows you peace of mind, the ability to grant access in any format you choose (web, phone or fax) as well as have the ability to audit the lock in case anything disappears. It is cost effective and simple to use. All without re-keying or visiting the door after each stay! When the guests leave they just drive away!
How often do I have to go to the door?
The only time you visit the door is to program the lock. This is done ONCE! The only time to revisit the lock is to change the batteries (three years from install) and when you want to audit the lock. THAT S IT!
When built the lock has no ID, once you program the lock it becomes live . It becomes a true standalone access system that understands time, dates and access codes. If the right 6-digit code is entered matching the dates and time then the lock will grant access. There is NO HARDWIRE OR COMMUNICATION between the lock and the web. This lock can be on another continent (once programmed) and it will function as required. With the ID the lock will know an unlimited set of parameters (dates) and the codes that match them. The codes recognized by a lock are unique to that lock. The door next to it has a totally different set of codes.
From how far away can someone manage a unit?
A unit can be managed from anywhere in the world once the lock is initialized. The date and time must be correct for the location the lock is installed.
There is a key override in the handle. The physical key should be used for emergency purposes only because there is no way to trace the user of the key. The lock does record that someone has gained access by a mechanical override.
The lock requires no wiring, no cleaning and is built to stand punishment. It runs on 3 AA batteries. Batteries typically last 3 years. The lock will physically flash red and green indicating low batteries for up to 3 months prior to going dead.
The lock is a totally sealed unit and has no exposed electronics. It is resistant to even the harshest of conditions. From California, Colorado to Florida our system is performing beautifully all over the country.
How is the lock programmed and audited?
The Maintenance unit (M-unit) is a Palm Handheld , the communication device between the Web based software application and the lock. The lock is programmed ONCE by the M-unit on installation. Once the lock is programmed there is no need to revisit the lock, except for necessary audits or routine maintenance.
How would a site manage a common suite door with 2 rooms behind it?
You program the lock to have 2 users (2 guests). Guest one would have his units level copied into the suite lock and common suite door. This would allow his code to open both doors. The same would be done for Guest 2. Granting both guests access to both doors with a separate code.
How does the Oracode 660K adjust to daylight savings time?
When the lock is programmed it should be set 1 hour in advance for daylight savings time. So 6 months of the year the lock will grant access 1 hour before the intended time and 6 months it will open as scheduled.
What are some of the positives of the Oracode 660K that cannot be measured?
* No cards or tags to control
* Management of Employee and contractors
* Getting the right access means to vendor
* Staff & guests spends less time worrying about room access and lost cards or keys and focus on relations
What happens if someone leaves a program with a PMC or changes PMC?
If someone is on a PMC site and wishes to manage their unit on their own then they have to have the door deleted from the original site and placed on another site. This means that the lock has to be reinitialized with the proper parameters. Once a lock is moved from one site to another the lock has to be reprogrammed.
