TZ SlideHandle™
Retrofitable Intelligent Locking Device for Cabinet Doors
TZ SlideHandle™ is an intelligent locking device that offers a drop-in replacement for manual swing-handle data center cabinet locks. The device integrates a high load Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuated locking mechanism, a manual key override, an electronic door status sensor, a RJ-45 connector for connection to standard patch cables, and a multi-color LED status indicator.
- RED indicates the cabinet door is closed and secure
- ORANGE (flashing) indicates access is authorized and is ready for release by pushing the top of the lock
- GREEN shows the door is open
TZ SlideHandle™ is powered and controlled via standard UTP Cat5e / Cat6 cabling through a TZ Praetorian™ Junction or TZ Centurion™ Bridge. The locking device has the ability to control auxiliary sensor devices for temperature, humidity and leak detection.
