Detention Electronic SystemsETECH CONTROLS CORPORATION manufactures Secure-Tech state-of-the-art modular electronic communication and control system products to meet the specialized needs of modern justice and correctional facilities. Over one-hundred modular electronic function products, and end-of-the-line communication devices, are currently available to provide for the integration of control, monitoring, and communication systems. Secure-Tech's product line has been the industry leader in innovative off-the-shelf solutions for every detention electronics need for over thirty-five years!Custom engineered control electronics assemblies, and their mating control panels or touchscreen type operator interfaces, are available as turnkey products, labeled for field wiring connection and factory tested to assure that they provide the intended functionality. All Secure-Tech products and assemblies are manufactured using the highest quality materials and construction methodology. Secure-Tech products have a reputation for quality and reliability that is backed by over thirty-five years of proven dependability and unequaled customer support.Secure-Tech's history goes back to 1972, when an electronics design team, led by an ex-NASA electronics engineer, accepted the challenge to develop a modular line of electronic control products, specifically for detention facility applications. This original product line was completely solid-state, and handled most of the intercom and door control functions that are prevalent today.A fully distributed microprocessor based products design was introduced in 1976, using the revolutionary ( now an industry standard ) RS-485 data protocol, which allowed unprecedented four-thousand feet data runs, between each of many microprocessor based controllers located throughout a facility, via a single twisted pair of shielded conductors. With a continued focus on systems reliability and integrity, highly redundant microprocessor based designs were introduced to the product line in 1982, which utilized not only fully redundant microprocessors, but also separate redundant communication circuits and power supplies.Secure-Tech's first large-scale touchscreen operator interface detention facility project was completed in 1988, incorporating a total of seven touchscreen terminals. Each of these touchscreens were capable of full facility control, and were interconnected via redundant communication servers and data paths. Over one-hundred stand-alone distributed processors were incorporated, so that all remote detention housing area controllers would remain operational even in the event of a total failure of all touchscreen based central control terminals. These were highly innovative systems for their time. And, due to their solid-state circuitry, high reliability design, and Secure-Tech's guaranteed technical support, were still working properly when replaced in 2006 to match a new "sister" facility.Secure-Tech products and systems remain at the forefront of the industry for quality, innovation, and proven reliability. No other brand of equipment can compare with the diversity of industry specific features, options, and capabilities that are available in Secure-Tech's off-the-shelf electronic modules and assemblies.The vast majority of Secure-Tech's product line features all plug connection. All conductors attached to an individual module can be disconnected and re-connected in less than sixty seconds. This makes the troubleshooting and replacement of failed system components easy to accomplish, using on-staff facility maintenance personnel.Secure-Tech opto-isolates all end-of-line field device signal input points to 7500 volts. Optimization is a quality and reliability design feature that Secure-Tech believes will save you money, during both initial installation and long-term maintenance. This feature provides the ability to stop dead shorts, wrong voltages, and other mis-connections, from destroying multiple syste
