The Dortronics 48500 Series is a user‑programmable PLC interlock controller designed for mantrap and controlled access systems requiring coordinated control of 2 to 5 doors. It is ideal for environments where only one door should be open at a time or doors are interlocked in a specific sequence. The controller supports flexible field configuration, adjustable timing functions, and integration with existing access control systems, making it suitable for commercial, industrial, and high-security applications.

Key Features

Supports 2–5 Doors: Controls interlock sequences for up to five doors in any combination of locked or unlocked configuration.
Field Configurable: Installer-adjustable logic allows configuration of door sequence, fail-safe/fail-secure operation, and timing without specialized software.
Adjustable Timers: Three onboard timers manage propped door alarms, panic release unlock time, and unlock pause for request-to-exit delays.
Access Control Compatible: Works with any access control system using dry contact inputs and mirrors door status back to panels or consoles.
Traffic Light & Alarm Outputs: Provides outputs for LED indicators and alarm devices.
Versatile Mounting: Available as a standalone controller board or a fully enclosed powered unit (model #48501) including enclosure and DC power supply.

Typical Applications

Security mantraps in banks, retail, and government facilities
Airlocks and cleanroom access control
Controlled transitions between secure zones
