Ilco Unican is Now Shipping the Oracode 610
Stand-alone Electronic Pushbutton Lock
 

NEW YORK, NEW YORK (USA), November 11, 2000 – Ilco Unican Inc. today announced at the International Hotel Motel and Restaurant Show at booth # 3062, that the Oracode 610 electronic pushbutton lock, which is completely time sensitive without hardwire, is now shipping. 

The stand-alone Oracode 610 electronic cylindrical or mortise lock is not just a security system; it’s a permanent solution to your front desk headaches. The staff uses simple software to generate access codes for a guest’s stay, according to the specified room number, security level, and arrival/ departure dates. With one phone call, fax or e‑mail, guests know their room number and their access code. One code lets them access their room and common areas, and then it automatically expires at the end of their stay. The Oracode 610 eliminates the need for keys or cards. It is the resort’s choice whether guest reservations are made at either an off-site, central location, on-site, or through e-commerce.

“With the increase in property management and the distance between each site, the Oracode 610 simplifies access management by eliminating cards and keys,” states Russell Dagenais, Product Manager Oracode 610. “Ilco Unican has designed a lock that eliminates everyday headaches and costs to management and guests.” 

The Oracode 610 delivers durability and reliability in a stunning piece of hardware. Offered in various finishes – satin chrome, satin brass and custom colors. Since its keypad is the same used on telephones and ATM machines, the Oracode 610 lends a familiarity to all. Equipped with both visible and audible indicators, its fluid feel and action signals quality every time you open it. The Oracode 610 promises to deliver with security, performance and safety in mind.

 The Oracode 610 operates on four (4) AA standard alkaline batteries that are protected by a factory-installed shrink-wrap and are easy to replace. Other standard features include an audit memory capability for up to 2000 transactions as well as an anti-pick latch and deadbolt to prevent forced entry.

 “Our mission has been to design a business partner for the lodging industry and the Oracode 610 definitely fits the bill”, states Michael Kincaid Vice President of Sales and Marketing of the Unican Electronics Division. “We want our customers to know that Ilco Unican has their interests in mind when we build our security systems”.

 Consisting of a simple software package, a Palm unit to program and audit the locks, in-room safes, energy management, and other useful options like Property Management System interface software, and exit devices, which are also available. Designed for up to a 15,000 room property (in one location or spread all over the world), the system provides full audit tracking capability through infrared link all with the multi-functional Palm unit. This versatile and reliable security system can operate stand-alone or interface with a Property Management System. Designed to withstand abuse and various temperature ranges, the Oracode 610 stand-alone pushbutton electronic lock comes with a two-year warranty.
