Dantech - Experts & Thought Leaders

Dantech Electronic Engineering, the UK manufacturer of power supplies and ancillary equipment for security applications, is promoting faster, neater and lower-cost Paxton Net2 installations with its DA481 and DA482 integrated Access Control Power Centres. Dantech Power Centres Supporting installers’ profitability by reducing equipment and mains cabling costs, Dantech Power Centres provide reliable 12v DC switch-mode power for either two (DA481) or four (DA482) Paxton Net2 PCBs. The rugged power supply module provides two sets of outputs for each controller position: 500mA for the controller and 2A for lock power. All outputs are protected by self-resetting fuses and equipped with status LEDs. With only a single fire alarm input required to the Power Centre, lock power outputs are individually selectable as either continuously powered or fire-switched. Two (continuously charged) VRLA battery packs up to 12Ah can be mounted in the Power Centre, ensuring continuity of security in the event of a mains power failure. Mains and battery status can be monitored via volt-free contacts, and batteries are protected by automatic deep-discharge disconnection. In addition, the physical security of the Power Centre is assured by its key-lockable and tamper-protected steel enclosure. Cost-effective installation Dantech Power Centres drive down installation costs. With just one fused spur required for each Power Centre instead of one per door controller, electrical installation costs are greatly reduced, and mains cabling can be completed more quickly. Equipment mounting, connection and commissioning also require less engineering time, and ongoing maintenance will be both simpler and more economical for the life of the system. Available from all leading distributors, Dantech Power Centres are the ideal solution for installing two or four Net2 access control units, whether centrally or at convenient locations around a protected site.

Innovative and secure power technology Known worldwide as the market leading security manufacturer of network video solutions, to sustain quality video performance for its customers base, Axis Communications has enlisted Dantech into the TPP program to provide innovative and secure 24/7 power technology—via Dantech’s comprehensive range of power supply solutions. The Axis partner network of 80,000 resellers and system designer partners in 179 countries will now have access Dantech’s unparalleled expertise in low voltage and Power over Ethernet (PoE) power supplies, to help them deliver total security system solutions. Analogue and PoE power supply Known for their extensive range of analogue and PoE power supply and ancillary products, Dantech’s unique range of power products enable camera surveillance or access control equipment to be deployed whether specified with DC or AC low voltage, PoE, or with a mixture of supply voltages to suit the requirements of individual components. With Dantech technology, power distribution decisions based on key factors such as reliability, continuity, accessibility, compliance, physical security, and cost can all be catered for, to deliver robust and flexible networked power solutions. “Dantech’s range of innovative equipment will enable our system integration partners to provide a wide range of power supply options for Axis products” “We are thrilled to partner an industry innovator such as Axis,” says Tim Scott, Director at Dantech Electronic Engineering. “Through the Technology Partner Program initiative, we are looking forward to raising awareness of the critical role effective power delivery plays in supporting robust 24/7 video and access control solutions, and for mission critical applications, without interruption of service, utilising full battery back-up.” Switch mode power supplies“We are very excited about the opportunity to extend the benefits of our unique range of analogue and switch mode power supplies, including UPS battery back-up, PoE switch and PoE injector power products, to a whole new audience.” “Axis Northern Europe are delighted to have Dantech join the TPP program,” says Doug Adams, Business Development Manager - ADP/TPP at Axis Communications, Northern Europe. “Dantech’s range of innovative equipment will enable our system integration partners to provide a wide range of power supply options for Axis products.”

The new lift connects over 10,000 sq./ft. of space spread over three floors Dantech Electronic Engineering, a UK manufacturer of off-the-shelf and bespoke specialist power supplies and ancillary equipment for security applications, has invested in a major expansion and refit to increase its production capacity. New production lines At one of the company’s two production sites in Maldon, Essex, Dantech has installed new state-of-the-art production lines covering 2,500 sq./ft. Improving the flow of goods transfer around the multi-story facility, part of the refit has included a new high-capacity elevator. Greatly enhancing the movement of pallets of goods and people, the new lift connects over 10,000 sq./ft. of space spread over three floors. In addition, all-new racking in conjunction with forklift and pallet trucks have made more efficient use of the building’s available space. For example, with many tons of steel and alloy being delivered frequently, it is important for them to be stored quickly and safely, ready for use. The new improved facility layout allows these goods to be delivered directly to the appropriate storage or production departments, such as CNC machine feeds. Maximising all-round production volumes, departments such as metalworking now also enjoy a much larger workspace area too. Improving production efficiency “The new refit was designed to improve the capacity and production efficiency of our unique and diverse range of electronic products,” says Tim Scott, Director at Dantech Electronic Engineering. “Dantech power supply and ancillary products require many specialist skills to produce, to meet with an ever-increasing demand for products, our investment into new production lines and refitting will help to substantially increase our production capacity and overall efficiency.”
