Carolina access-control engineering
Hartmann PoE, PRS & Door Controllers
Controller selection, panel installation, expansion, wiring, programming, testing, repairs and planned maintenance.
Controller architecture matched to the opening and infrastructure
Hartmann offers PoE door controllers for distributed above-door designs and PRS panels for conventional home-run access cabling. We verify lock current, reader protocol, request-to-exit, door contact, fire interface, network, battery runtime, surge protection and enclosure conditions before choosing a model.
Installation includes controller addressing, network configuration, firmware compatibility review, labeled terminations, door programming, credential tests, alarm tests and loss-of-network or loss-of-power behavior.
Hartmann controller and expansion families
PRS-2DR-STR
Two-door starter controller expandable to eight doors with up to three PRS-TDM modules. Published options include Wiegand and OSDP readers, onboard diagnostics and system logic for anti-passback, mantrap, lockdown and ADA opener sequencing.
PoE ODM and TDM
One-door and two-door controller families use a network/PoE approach intended to reduce field cabling. Available variants include onboard LCD diagnostics and optional integrated motion sensing; exact lock-power and PoE budgets are verified per model.
PRS-TDM expansion
Two-door expansion boards connect to the PRS master over RS-485 and can be placed within the enclosure or remotely within the published bus limits. Reader, input, relay and power allocation remain opening-specific.
PRS-IO and elevator
The PRS I/O family begins with eight configurable inputs and outputs and can expand in eight-point increments. Elevator starter and expansion configurations can support large floor counts when engineered for the cab and building.
Altronix Trove kits
Hartmann publishes pre-engineered Trove arrangements for multi-door panels and power. We still calculate lock load, battery, branch protection, heat, grounding and available enclosure space for the actual opening schedule.
Distributed operation
Controllers retain door operation when communications to the management server are interrupted. Acceptance tests should prove offline credential behavior, buffered event recovery and correct response after communications return.
Published PoE one-door reference specifications
The POE-ODM-MW family illustrates Hartmann’s door-level architecture. The manufacturer publishes four inputs, two Wiegand reader connections, onboard 12 VDC lock power up to the specified model limit, local cardholder and event storage, LCD/web diagnostics and UL 294/ULC listings. The current product sheet remains controlling.
- Confirm exact suffix, PoE class, lock load and reader current
- Separate life-safety release from software convenience functions
- Validate cable category, switch budget, UPS and network segmentation
- Test REX, door contact, held/forced alarms, lock timing and ADA sequence
- Record controller, port, IP, firmware, door name and as-built terminations
