Command Access CRU2 Current Reduction Module for DC Electronic Locks

Professional Current Management Solution for Electronic Locking Systems

The Command Access CRU2 Current Reduction Module is engineered to optimize the performance of low current DC voltage electronic locking devices including cylindrical locks, mortise locks, panic trim, and strikes operating in fail-safe or unlock cycle conditions. Operating on 12 to 30 VDC with maximum 1.0A capacity, this module provides full current for solenoid retraction then reduces current to maintain position while preventing re-locking issues through high frequency pulse technology.

Professional Features & Benefits

  • Wide Voltage Range: 12 to 30 VDC operating voltage accommodates various system configurations and power supply options.
  • Maximum Current Capacity: 1.0A maximum amperage handles demanding electronic locking applications with reliable performance.
  • Extended Solenoid Life: Allows continuously-on low current devices to run cooler, significantly increasing solenoid life and reducing service calls.
  • Voltage Drop Compensation: Provides small current boost to offset voltage drop associated with long wire runs for consistent operation.
  • Adjustable Current Control: Current adjustment feature allows fine tuning for optimal performance with specific locking devices.
  • Anti-Relocking Technology: High frequency pulse system prevents failures due to door misalignment or prolonged lever engagement by users.
  • Comprehensive Warranty: No hassle 3-year warranty provides added confidence and protection for commercial installations.

Command Access CRU2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does a Command Access CRU2 current reduction module actually do in an electric lock circuit?
The CRU2 sits inline with a low current DC electronic locking device and manages how much current it draws. It passes full current to pull the solenoid in, then drops the current back to a lower level that only has to hold the solenoid in position. That is what keeps a continuously energized fail safe lock from cooking itself over a long unlock cycle.
2) What kinds of locks can I put a current reduction module on?
The CRU2 is built for low current DC electronic locking devices: electrified cylindrical locks, electrified mortise locks, electric panic trim, and electric strikes. The condition that matters is that the device is energized for the unlock cycle or held unlocked in a fail safe setup, which is where the heat builds up. A fail secure strike that only gets a momentary pulse has far less to gain from it.
3) My electric lock will not re-lock reliably when the door is a little out of alignment. Will a current reduction module fix that?
That is the failure the CRU2 is aimed at. It uses a high frequency pulse to stop the latch hanging up when the door is misaligned or when someone holds the lever down after the unlock signal has ended. If the door itself is dragging on the frame or the strike is out of position, fix the opening first, but the module covers the marginal cases that otherwise turn into service calls.
4) How much current can the CRU2 module handle?
1.0A maximum. Add up the inrush draw of the lock you are feeding, not just its holding current, and stay under that ceiling. One module handles one locking device on a low current DC circuit, so a bank of openings needs a module per lock rather than one module carrying the group.
5) Does a current reduction module help with long wire runs to a remote door?
It does. Along with cutting the hold current, the CRU2 adds a small current boost to offset the voltage drop that builds over a long run, so a lock at the far end of the building sees enough to pull in and stay put. There is also a current adjustment on the module, so you can tune the output to the specific lock rather than accept a fixed value.
6) How do I order the Command Access CRU2, and are there different versions to choose from?
There is one model, the CRU2, with no finish, voltage, or handing options to specify. The voltage flexibility is built in rather than ordered: the same module covers 12 to 30 VDC, and the onboard current adjustment sets it to the lock. So the only decision is how many you need, one per low current DC locking device.
7) Is the Command Access CRU2 a commercial grade device or is it meant for residential use?
Commercial. The CRU2 is specified for commercial door hardware, and the applications it is built around are commercial building security, healthcare and education access control, industrial facility monitoring, multi-tenant residential properties, and government buildings. It is a component in an access control system, not a standalone lock, so it goes in the cabinet or above the door alongside the power supply and lock it serves.
