Electronic swinghandle latch

    Dec. 13, 2010
    The latch uses a gearmotor that demands little energy and handles high loads.

    The H3-EM electronic locking swinghandle latch is microprocessor-controlled and gear motor-driven. It uses less than 200 mA of operating current at the moment of actuation only. It integrates sensors and outputs for industry-standard rack control and monitoring. A simple retrofit permits addressable remote access control over the web. It can generate an activity log.
    The glass-filled nylon H3-EM fits industry-standard panels and both left and right doors. The assembly can be customized to meet color, logo, and installation-configuration requirements.
