Door wireless access control system including reader, lock, and wireless access control electronics including wireless transceiver
First Claim
1. A security system for providing security between a locking system and wireless access control electronics or an access reader control, said security system including:
- a control line extending between a locking system and at least one of access control electronics and an access reader control, said control line relaying control signals from said at least one of access control electronics and an access reader control to said locking system;
a control line shield preventing physical access to said control line; and
an electric lock in said locking system, said electric lock able to perform both a locking operation and an unlocking operation, wherein said electric lock performs one of a locking operation and an unlocking operation in response to said control signals, wherein said access reader control reads access information using a proximity reader to determine said control signals to be transmitted to said electric lock.

Abstract
The preferred embodiments of the present invention provide an improved access control system that provides additional security for the connection between an existing locking system and an access control system, for example, to prevent tampering. The security system preferably includes a control line shield to protect a control line running from an access reader to an external lock incorporated in a door, for example. The control line shield seals the control line into the interior of the door to prevent easy access for interference and tampering Additionally, the control line shield may be removed as necessary to provide service to the access system.
