ReliTouch RT-201SC Biometric Door Lock

Biometric locks have long been a staple in futuristic movies, but now with advances in technology and the requirement for saving time in our busy lifestyles these locks have become practical for most households. Imagine never having to look for lost keys again, fumbling to get in the house with a handful of groceries, or knowing everyone who has entered your house and at what time. The new ReliTouch can make your dreams come true!

The new ReliTouch is by far one of the best and easiest to install biometric locks we have seen. You can truly transform your world from “care free” living to “key free” living with ReliTouch and never worry about losing your keys again. The lock runs on batteries so no special wiring required and it will not stop working in case of a sudden power shutdown. It also has a low battery indication light which lets you know the right time to replace the batteries.

The ReliTouch allows for up to 1,000 users, comes with a 3-hour UL fire-rated latch, a free-wheeling clutch, 100% weatherproof design, standard commercial finishes like Satin Chrome (US26D), ADA and HIPAA compliance, and so much more.

The ReliTouch is easy to program and easy to use as a standalone system. The user-friendly Backlit LCD screen makes programming the lock a breeze for anyone. The true value is best realized by its biggest innovation – the incorporation of USB flash drive technology. The USB allows offsite programming and fingerprint scanning and then allows user to upload the users right into the door lock. The USB drive also makes downloading and transferring audit trails to a computer easy.

The new ReliTouch was designed for both residential and commercial installations.

For the residential consumer, this biometric access control door lock has unsurpassed features and functionality. While beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, with a wide variety of gorgeous architectural finishes, don’t be fooled. The ReliTouch is a security system on any door, providing you with the versatility to manage access rights by PIN code or fingerprint (or a combination of both) to your residence. In addition the ReliTouch’s access control and audit trail features give you the certainty of knowing exactly who has been in your home, at what time, on which date. And you can easily add or delete house staff, day workers, contractors, and guests without the hassle or risk of trying to remember who had keys made. Plus the ReliTouch can be installed indoors or outdoors with no concern for rain, snow, dust or humidity.

For the commercial customer, the ReliTouch is a fantastic product if you are serious about your security. Savvy security professionals understand the value of biometric access control for identification and authentication purposes. This undeniably accurate information by itself can reduce risks and costs associated with theft, vandalism, and fraud. Besides its cost effective price, ReliTouch® provides real savings by eliminating replacements costs associated with re-keying, replacing cylinders, or purchasing swipe cards. And because it is a standalone access control system, ReliTouch eliminates the expensive material and labor costs of installing electrical wiring and network cabling necessary for wall-mounted access control panels.

This lock is a great example of quality workmanship, tested to over 2 million duty cycles.

The security of this lock is unsurpassed and we have not seen or heard of any stories of hackers defeating this lock. Many hackers have proven many other biometric locks to be easily overridden with a paperclip or other simple technique, but the ReliTouch holds strong as one of the most secure on the market.

Many people ask if the ReliTouch has a remote control like some other locks such as the Biolock 333 PC-BK. Unfortunately, the ReliTouch doesn’t include a remote, but for good reason. The remote control only works from inside the house to unlock the door so doesn’t do much good when arriving home. It also uses IR sensor for the remote which drains the battery of the lock faster requiring more changes and costing more money to operate.

PVC Vented High-Efficiency Condensing Tankless Water Heaters

High efficiency tankless water heaters are in greater demand than ever. Not only do these units have efficiencies rated in the mid-90’s, but they also offer easy installation with contractor friendly PVC venting.

In the past most tankless water heaters were vented with category III AL29-4C Stainless Steel Vent Pipe which was very pricey. Improved designs in tankless condensing technology and the use of secondary heat exchangers to lower combustion gas temperatures have paved the way for PVC venting to be used.

Cost difference between a condensing tankless water heater and a standard tank-type water heater?

We get this question a lot and usually warn the customer that there is quite a bit difference in costs and installation labor costs. PVC Venting has made installation costs lower than ever and making tankless heaters more attractive for end users. Federal tax credits and local gas company rebates also help with purchase costs. The numbers vary by location, but most consumers can expect to pay 25% to 40% more for a quality tankless unit.

Some key issues to focus on when selecting a tankless unit:

• Venting Costs
  • The cost of PVC venting in 2011 is about $1.50/ft compared to the average cost of Category III Stainless Steel vent at $26.50/ft.
  • Condensing tankless units which offer the ability to vent in PVC will greatly reduce the costs of installation. o
  • Venting in warmer climates in the United Sates offers a significant advantage. In warmer climates tankless water heaters are usually mounted outdoors eliminating the cost of vent material.
• Gas Line Size
  • In some cases a larger gas line may be required. Conventional tank type heaters are usually 40,000 to 50,000 BTU and require a ½” gas line. High efficiency condensing tankless water heaters usually modulate up to 199,000BTU which may require a larger gas line. It is important to make sure the contractor calculates proper gas supply sizes and the gas draw.
• Condensation
  • High efficiency condensing tankless water heaters produce condensate in the flue. Condensate is an acid-water mixture that must be handles properly according to local codes. A condensate neutralizer is often used to neutralize condensate before being routed to a drain. It is important for the contractor to follow local codes when disposing of condensate.
• Flow Rates
  • Watch flow rates of the tankless water heater selected. Catch phrases like “Endless Hot Water” and “Never take a cold shower again” confuse consumers and produce a falsehood that all tankless units will work. The key to remember is tankless water heaters are sized base on flow rates. Fixture counts must be used to calculate GPM required for a certain application. Each application is different and there are many variables to consider when sizing a tankless water heater.
