OpenTech Releases Wired-Alarm Mux for Self-Storage Unit Security
September 2, 2019
OpenTech Alliance Inc., a Phoenix-based provider of self-storage kiosks, call-center services and other technology, is soon launching a wired-alarm multiplexer (mux) for its INSOMNIAC CIA (Centralized Intelligent Access) access-control product that’ll sound an alarm and even send customers e-mail and text alerts if their self-storage unit is opened in their absence. The A96 mux will work in conjunction with magnetic contact sensors mounted on individual roll-up or swing doors, with a capacity to monitor up to 96 hardwired unit sensors, according to a press release.
The A96 circuit board is designed for compatibility with existing door-alarm enclosures, alarm switches/magnets, terminal connectors, power sources and wiring. The mux can be configured in 48- or 96-channel mode, the release stated. It’ll be available only as an add-on product for INSOMNIAC CIA customers.
The new tool is the eighth integration to the company’s platform of smart-connected solutions, OpenTech IoE (Internet of Everything), according to the release. Though the product won’t be officially released until the fourth quarter, it’s available for pre-order this month.
