OK, So what IS a SG2?
It’s an access control device
So, what does it do?
It prevents or allows (your choice) vehicles and pedestrians to enter through the gate or en-
trance.
What does it do right out of the box?
Push the big black CALL button and it rings the phones in your house. Push a Touch Tone 6
on your phone and the gate opens.
How does it do that?
Keeps the gate locked until someone calls the house, or uses a card or a PIN code.
What’s a PIN code?
It’s security jargon for Personal Identification Number. If you use phone calling cards or an
ATM; you have used a PIN. It’s the same thing, only there is no card involved.
How do I use a PIN code?
You press a * and four digits on the keypad, and if they’re the RIGHT 4 digits, in you go!
But, can I use a card too?
Sure, you can use up to 100 of any industry standard 26 bit Wiegand devices, like cards,
“clickers” (RF Transmitters), anything that will generate an access device number..
What is Wiegand?
An industry standard for access control devices; your installer will know.
What is a clicker? Is that like the one on my car alarm?
Yes. People call them clickers, but they are actually RF transmitters.
Can I make my car’s clicker work for both?
Sorry, no. Auto manufacturers don’t make access control equipment and we don’t’ make cars.
Actually, our clicker is a little more secure than theirs, anyway.
How many PIN codes can I have?
100
My family’s not that big.
Well, we also use these for small businesses. But you can do a lot of things with these PIN
codes.
