STAR II Controller with MIRO Options
Advanced Technology Controller
Honeywell STAR II Controller redefines access control technology
by offering the latest innovative controller that utilizes surfacemount
technology. The STAR II controller incorporates this stateof-
the-art enhanced digital technology which provides more
powerful features, all on one small single board. Easy installation,
modular components, and an affordable price makes STAR II
Controller the right solution for managing even the most
demanding access control applications. With a 32-bit Intel®
microprocessor built-in, the controller provides fast and accurate
control of up to sixteen doors. Each STAR II controller comes with
NSMLite, a Graphical User Interface software (GUI) that is used to
configure the controller, doors, points, cardholders and elevator
configurations. Other advanced features include: scalable door
architecture, card capacity for up to 100,000 cardholders;
independent PIN entry for each card holder; assignable door lock
relays, 16 on-board monitor inputs / 4 relay outputs (MIRO), builtin
battery charging circuit for low power installs, on-board support
for 2-Wiegand readers without additional physical interface,
elevator control and optional Ethernet interface.
Personality Chip For Easy Upgrades
STAR II Controller modular architecture allows flexible system
design options for tailoring secure and dependable access
control solutions for any facility, regardless of size. Base twodoor
system can be field upgraded to a 16-door unit with a
simple personality chip change. Add readers or other advanced
features when you want and when you need it. Support for
proximity, magnetic stripe, keypad, biometric, smartcard and
third party (Wiegand) reader access control technologies allows
for easy integration of custom applications at each door. Each
unit can monitor 255 inputs and control 96 relay outputs using
additional MIROs. A WIRO 4/8/4 Wiegand reader and I/O
module allows facilities with more than two third-party Wiegand
readers to upgrade to Honeywell’s advanced technology. They
also allow a site to keep the current wiring and reader / card
relationships along with adding 8 additional monitor inputs and
4 relay outputs. An on-board plug-in port is included for optional
10baseT Ethernet CoBox Micro interface.
Easy Installation
Installation time and cost have been greatly reduced with the
advanced technology offered in the STAR controller. Switchable
selectable baud rates and addressing can now be done directly
on the panel rather than through a laptop or terminal. In
addition, twisted-pair wiring (RS-485 data) greatly reduces the
cost and difficulty of installing an access control system and
allows up to a 4,000 foot distance between Host and STAR II
Controller. It also provides the same distance between a
Controller, MIROs, WIUs and readers. Common power supplies
and batteries can take advantage of the controllers built-in
charging circuitry for low power installations. While providing an
advanced access control solution, STAR controller is also
economically priced so any organization can implement an
advanced multiple technology system at a cost similar to less
secure single technology systems. Key Features
