Security Considerations

When it comes to vandal proof protection and security, you can depend on Cannon.

Cannon Datacom has developed a range of security devices to meet the most demanding specifications. These security devices range from door alarms to shock detection, including alarms which indicate out-of-tolerance temperatures and component failure.

Cam lock system

The Cannon cam lock fitted to the majority of 'CatWalk' data cabinet units is manufactured from marine grade stainless steel. The lozenge-shaped bezel mounted on the face of the door is attached to the internal lock body, which is designed to draw the cabinet door onto a seal with sufficient compression to create an environmental seal. The lock allows multi-point fixing in both horizontal and vertical directions.

The relatively simple shaped 'T' bar type key once entered and rotated becomes captive and is used as a door handle. With the lock in the closed position the 'T' bar key is ejected in order to reduce the chance of the key being accidentally left in the lock.

Although the lock is virtually indestructible it cannot be classed as high security due to its relatively simple 'T' bar key.

Dead locking cam lock system

Where high security is demanded Cannon Datacom have developed a combined locking system which incorporates the cam lock with a multi-lever dead lock. This lock replaces the need for a multiplicity of separate cam and dead locks.

A multi-lever dead lock is incapable of providing the torque required to effect a satisfactory door seal. By combining the cam lock with a dead lock it is possible to provide a locking facility that seals and secures the data cabinet door in one action. Helping to ensure that your data cabinet is vandal proof.

The door seals may be upgraded to provide both environmental sealing and EMC hardening.

Controlled entry facility

The Cannon Datacom locking system can offer a further advantage in restricting access in multi-door data cabinets.

By incorporating matched dead locks utilising master and subordinate keys, access to chambers of a multi-door cabinet can be restricted based on which key is issued.
