RM and OSDP Boards

Providing a secure connection between readers and panels

RM and OSDP Boards provide a secure connection between readers and panels with the choice of Software House “RM” protocol or OSDP secure channel communications. They extend reader cable distance by up to 4,000 ft., allowing distributed control of an access control door while simplifying field wiring for more advanced door installations.

A full range of door controller boards offer a choice of Software House “RM” protocol and OSDP mode for enhanced security options. This allows distributed control of an access control door for distances up to 4,000 ft. (1,200 m) from the iSTAR controller.
Door control module circuit boards are available separately or in enclosures with integrated LifeSafety Power. Flexible wall and rack mount panel enclosure options allow you to maximize the available space. They create a ready-to-install system, with harnesses for panel power and lock control, and fault and tamper switches with pre-installed connectors for iSTAR boards.

RM and OSDP Boards

Effortless OSDP upgrade

New Software House door controller modules are identical to legacy door modules in size, mounting dimensions and wiring connectors, providing an easy field upgrade for customers who are considering upgrading to OSDP readers. This drastically reduces cut-over time during the upgrade, and minimizes wiring and installation costs while saving costly real estate dedicated to your security hardware.

Features

An RM mode for backwards compatibility with the Software House “RM” protocol, and an OSDP mode for enhanced security
Distributed I/O for one door and low wiring costs by keeping it local
Up to four supervised inputs and three wet/dry selectable outputs
An optional enclosure with standby power from a sealed lead acid battery for up to two boards

A versatile communication choice between OSDP Secure Channel and Software House “RM” via an onboard dip switch
Connects a third party Wiegand or OSDP reader to the iSTAR panel
Distributed control of an access control door for distances up to 4,000 ft. (1,200 m) from the iSTAR controller

Benefits

Optional enhanced security in a single board

RM Boards offer the unique flexibility of working in two different modes: RM mode for backwards compatibility with the Software House “RM” protocol and OSDP mode for enhanced security.

Effortless upgrade to OSDP

The newest Software House RM Boards help you maintain business continuity while exponentially increasing your security posture by lowering wiring costs and reducing installation time.

Make it secure and quick

The plug-in screw terminals and built-in tamper switch have sizes, mounting dimensions and wiring connectors that are familiar to installers. That provides an easy and efficient installation process for immediate security enhancement.
