Kaba-Mas Cencon System 2000®

Intelligent locking systems for the next millenium

The Challenge
While the front of ATMs are accessed by customers with individual cards and PINs, service personnel who access the back of an ATM have traditionally used the same lock combination. Bank employees, cash replenishers, technical service reps, repair personnel - all using the same combination to open an ATM safe that typically holds tens of thousands of dollars in cash! That's serious temptation even for the most honest employees.

The Solution
The answer is the Cencon System 2000® from Kaba Mas, designed to combat insider theft from ATMs through the combined use of lock hardware, systems software and Smart Keys™. The Cencon System 2000 offers total access control and accountability with its One Time Combination™ feature. The One Time Combination is dispatched from a central location and cannot be reused at a later date, thus eliminating temptation.

Unique software allows you to control and monitor tens, hundreds, even thousands of locks located anywhere in the World - from one central location. The Kaba Mas Cencon System 2000 is a revolutionary and cost-effective solution to today's most serious security challenges.

Three Modes of Operation

FLM Mode
Designed for First Line Maintenance personnel, the FLM mode of the Cencon System 2000 lock permits the dispatch center to give a One Time Combination to a technician "on the fly." FLM personnel are each issued a Smart Key and call their dispatch center to request a One Time Combination. Once used, this combination will not function again, thus insuring absolute access control. Once the Cencon System 2000 unit is locked, a Close Seal code is displayed on the lock's LCD and, when entered into the dispatch center's computer, assures that the Cencon System 2000 is locked and secure.

Route Mode
While permitting the same access control as FLM Mode, Route Mode additionally permits pre-defined routes for armored cash replenishers. Route personnel are each issued a Smart Key. A route of locks may be assigned permitting route personnel to access a series of locks without contacting their dispatch center. Route personnel can either call their dispatch center at the end of the shift to report the close seals, or the close seals can be read from the key by the Cencon software.

Bank Mode
Bank Mode is designed for bank personnel who may need access to the Cencon System 2000 lock but do not wish to operate through a dispatch center. Smart Keys and combinations are issued to bank personnel who may unlock the Cencon System 2000 lock at any time. An internal audit trail tracks all activity of bank personnel just as it does for FLM and Route personnel. Kaba Mas CenBank software permits bank administrators to manage Bank Mode on site. Bank users may be added or deleted and audit trails may be downloaded from the lock.
