Task and function
Task
The door handles of the GUARD S family are used as security handles on the
outside of access control in buildings. The system is based on RFID (radio
frequency identification) technology. Only transponders with the relevant
permission (authorised transponders) enable the door to be opened for an
adjustable time and period.
Guard S handles are screwed down from the inside and are structurally
prepared for outdoor use.
There is always a purely mechanical handle on the inside of the door. The
door can always be opened from the purely mechanical side.
The handles are protected against the ingress of dust and water. Information
about the IP class can be found in the technical data sheet.
In line with the declaration of conformity and certificates for the handle in
combination with the door lock and the panic bar where appropriate in
accordance with DIN EN 179 and DIN EN 1125 the handles are suitable as
closures for emergency exits and escape and rescue routes.
The declaration of conformity of DOM Sicherheitstechnik GmbH & Co.KG or
the corresponding lock/panic bar manufacturer must be checked prior to
assembly of the handle of the corresponding lock or panic bar where
appropriate.
Using the GUARD S outer handle with third-party handles will invalidate the
security function.
The handles are suitable for sheet steel fire doors, tubular frames and wood of
the fire protection classifications T39, T60 and T90 (in preparation).
The handles can be supplied for doors with the following characteristics:
•Door leaf thickness from 36 to 116 mm (in eight increments)
•Cylinder hole: clearances of 55 mm to 94 mm for different cylinder profiles
•Right-handed and left-handed doors
•Wooden, metal and plastic doors

Description

Function
The lever handle on handles with a reading field is only released if a
transponder with an appropriate authorisation (authorised transponder) is held
to the reading field. Data is transmitted inductively (via RFID) between the
transponder and the reading field by means of a coil that is present in the
reading field and in the transponder. Only one of the devices (reading field or
transponder) has to have a power supply to guarantee the function. In the
GUARD S family, power is supplied by the electronic handle’s battery.
The lever handle is connected to the lock via the spindle by means of a three-
part coupling. The outer half of the coupling is connected to the outer lever
handle. The inner half of the coupling is connected to the spindle hub and the
inner lever handle via the spindle. The halves of the coupling connect if an
authorised transponder is held to the reading field. This allows the door to be
opened with the outer lever handle.
Once the set coupling time (opening time) has elapsed, both halves of the
coupling are separated from one another again. An authorised transponder
must be held to the reading field once again to open the door.
You can adapt the system to different requirements with the different variants
of the GUARD S handles:
•Slimline handles replace existing narrow handles with a width of up to
40 mm and screwing points above one another.
Slimline handles are particularly suitable for use on tubular frame doors.
•Wideline handles replace existing handles with a width of up to 56 mm and
screwing points above one another.
Wideline handles are particularly suitable for renovating doors that are
damaged and show differences in colour due to old handles and round
rosettes.
Wideline rosettes are suitable for renovating round rosettes on the inside of
the door with adjacent screw connection points.
