Abstract
An access control system () for a secure facility includes an authorization system having an interface, in the form of an interrogator (), for receiving the request signal indicative of a user seeking authorization for a predetermined action, where that action is to unlock a door that presently blocks a doorway. If that action occurs, the user will be able to progress through the doorway. A processor () is responsive to the request signal for determining if the access is to be granted to that user at that particular time. If access is to be granted, processor () generates the secure signal. An operating device, which is collectively defined by ports (), processor () and locking device (), is physically spaced apart from processor () and responsive to the secure signal for initiating the action. That is, the action is to progress the locking device to the second configuration. This, in turn, will allow the user to subsequently gain access through the doorway. The action of progressing the locking device to the second configuration is initiated ultimately by device ()—after processor () provides the required signals via one of ports ()—to allow the user to then physically progress through the doorway.
