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 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 feet, allowing distributed control of an access control door while simplifying field wiring for more advanced door installations.

    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.
    Effortless OSDP upgrade

    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
