Locinox innovates with high-tech battery-powered keypad

Valentino provides wireless electronic access control

The great strides in battery technology have allowed Locinox to come up with a wireless solution for electronic access control. The brand new energy-efficient Valentino is a keypad with a lifespan of 150.000 open and close cycles on one set of lithium metal batteries.

Battery technology has been on the move for the past few years and that has had its effect on Locinox too. The Waregem based pioneer launched the Valentino, the first electronic access control solution that doesn’t require an external power supply. "This has been coming for quite a while”, says commercial director Lieven Pieters.
“Thanks to the latest developments in battery technology, there’s finally a wireless solution that meets our strict quality requirements. These batteries are extremely long lasting and continue to operate flawlessly in dire weather conditions.”
Lifespan
With merely one set of six batteries, the Valentino has a lifespan of 150.000 open and close cycles before the low battery sign lights up. The e-coated lock box neatly conceals the water and vandal proof battery compartment, withstands over thousand hours salt spray testing and is resistant to extreme weather conditions.
“The perfect fit for anyone looking to add access control to their gates without running electrical wiring. They finally have a wireless electronic solution.”

Endless possibilities
The Valentino has an illuminated code panel on both sides, accepts permanently open codes and supports free exit, pushbar and code-operated handles. After an easy installation there’s an equally easy setting of access codes, up to 100 different ones. A key overrules the codes and grants access to the programming mode. “These options enable the Valentino to offer solutions to public buildings, without them needing maintenance”, says Pieters.

The maintenance-free Valentino’s mechanism consists of extremely durable stainless steel components. The 20 mm continuous adjustability of the bolts allows a perfect latching / locking of the mechanism.
