WORLDWIDE LUXURY PROJECTS
The ultimate high performance digital video entry system
MDS

What is MDS?
MDS (MULTIPLEXED DIGITAL SYSTEM)
MDS is the standard for high performance digital audio and video entry systems,
installed in the world’s most prestigious buildings (see page 16).
Recommended in buildings and residential complexes with many users or for
facilities where we need to integrate other services and functionalities.
An MDS system includes:
A Central Unit manages the MDS system.
Can control up to 9.999 homes and 32 accesses or
guard units. It is possible to connect in series up to 63
UC, extending its capacity. Includes WINCOM+ software
developed by FERMAX for programming and management
of all the installation parameters.
• Digital audio and video door entry systems.
• Intercommunication between accesses, guard units and houses.
• Access Control
• Elevator control.
• Management of automatic devices in the building.
• Security and detection system management.
A single cable BUS runs through the installation communicating
all the elements: audio and video entry panels, guard units, homes,
access control readers in communal areas, intercom panels and
detection zones and automatic devices.

the installation BUS. Communication between homes and
accesses is private.
THE MOST RELIABLE AND STABLE SYSTEM
ON THE MARKET
The MDS system design guarantees its reliability
in any project, no matter how large the distances
and number of houses.
The structure and wiring allow us to isolate and
make blocks and homes independent, so that
a malfunction in one section does not affect the
rest.

GENERAL ENTRANCE COMMON ZONES INTERIOR BLOCKS HOUSES
An MDS system enables audio/video/data communication between
guard unit, residents and visitors at any point of the installation.
Communication
To manage presence and access to restricted areas easily and
efficiently by means of permits, restrictions, etc.
Access control
In common areas: rooftops, lifts, accesses. Technical alarm alerts and sensor
activations are received in the guard unit.
Security
Of common services: irrigation activation, lighting, doors, swimming pools ...
Automation
An MDS video entry panel allows audio
and video communication between the
general entrance, the block entrance and
the homes.
The outdoor panel lets you search for
residents in the electronic directory by
using the keys , once found, press
the key to call the house.
If user’s number known, dial it and press
With built-in code-operated door opening
system. Each user has their own entry
code.
Other access control readers can also be
integrated: finger, proximity ...
6
The Guard Unit acts as a call administration centre, or panic call receiver,
receiving the alerts from the homes and the detection system installed.
The Guard Unit can set up communication with any point
of the installation.
It has a graphic screen that reports all incidents.
There are three action modes: Day, Night and Mixed.
Several Guard Units may run simultaneously
in one installation ...
Communication between accesses, homes and guard units.

The MDS system management is stored in the
Central Unit’s internal memory.
The system can be programmed manually from
the outdoor panel or by means of a PC, using
the WINCOM+ software developed by Fermax.
The changes (user authorizations-cancellations,
permits, automatic devices, etc) can be managed
by PC located in the control or administration
area.
Motorization and management can also be done
by remote control via IP. IP decoder (ref.1307) is
required.
SYSTEM PROGRAMMING AND
ADMINISTRATION
Communication between accesses, homes and guard units.

Access Control: restrictions and permits.
COMMON AREAS
An MDS system lets you manage user access to the different common areas
of the complex or building: garages, rooftops, meter zones, swimming pool,
tennis, gym, etc. To this end, readers are installed at the entrances of those
areas, where the users must identify themselves.
Each Central Unit can manage up to 32 accesses (between outdoor panels,
readers and up to 10 guard units) and 1.020 users for access control.
Scheduled restrictions such as permits by days of the week can be set up,
as well as other more advanced functions like “anti-passback” and capacity
control. All the information on users (authorizations/cancellations/permits/
restrictions) and accesses (entrances/exits/holidays and vacation periods) is
stored in the system/PC.
There are 5 different identification technologies for access control:
- Proximity. The identifier is a proximity card or key ring.
- Keypad. Users have to enter their code via the keypad.
- Fingerprint. You have to slide your finger through the sensor.
- Bluetooth. Users have to put their mobile near the panel.
- Radiofrequency. A remote control opens the access door.
Different technologies can be combined in the same reader or installation.

To activate the electric lock,
the user must slide the finger
over the thermal sensor.
The display shows the user
number and the green LED
comes on. Capacity:
950/630 users (1/2 prints per
users).
PROXIMITY
Approaching the proximity
card (ref.23361) or a proximity
key (ref.44501) to the reader
activates the door release.
The cards must be authorized
in the system and have
the permits active.
Capacity: 1.020 users.
MAXIMUM SECURITY
To ensure a more reliable
and safe access control
system, dual technology
readers can be installed,
for example in lifts, control
zone, etc.
11
KEYPAD
Each user has their own
PIN code, which they enter
via the keypad (4, 5 or 6 digits).
Capacity: 1.020 users.
Keypad
Bluetooth
BLUETOOTH
The door is opened automatically
when it detects the authorized mobile
within range. For greater security, it
can be programmed to ask the mobile
to enter an opening code.
Capacity: 1.020 users.
RADIOFREQUENCY
The RF receiver intercepts
the signals from the RF
security controls
(ref.24651) to open the door.
Capacity: 1.020 users.
LOFT READERS
Their small size and surface assembly
allow location in interiors on any
support, even in aluminium profiles.
MARINE READERS
The Marine Reader line is
manufactured in stainless steel
for outdoors.

Automation and security.
BUILDING - BLOCK
An MDS system lets you:
Switch on the entrance lighting or the stair lights on a daily
basis by arming/disarming sensors/relays according
to schedules/days, manually, etc.
Activate the intruder detection system in roofs and restricted
areas, unblock emergency doors, technical smoke detector
alarms, damp probes, etc.
Limit access to the meter closet by interior access control
readers.
Restrict use of the elevators to users who may only access
the authorized floor.
The home owner can call the lift from the video entry monitor.
Lifts can be fitted with communication panels to alert
the guard unit in case of emergency.
Each MDS Central Unit can manage up to 1.000 sensor
inputs and 1.000 relay outputs that can be programmed
by PC with the WINCOM+ software depending on each
application.
