Abstract:
A token operated access control system is provided for a door to control access to a secured area through the door. The token operated access control system includes an electrically-operated door lock or strike that is actuated by a token operated actuator. The token operated actuator includes a token validator for distinguishing between a valid token and an invalid token introduced into the token validator. The token operated actuator is operable to actuate the door lock or strike in response to a valid token introduced into the token validator.

Claim (Index 19):
A method of controlling access to a secured area through a door using a token operated access control system, comprising:\n providing an electrically-operated access control device having a first state in which the door is secured and a second state in which the door is unsecured, the access control device comprising one of an electrically-operated door lock or an electrically-operated strike; electrically coupling a token operated actuator to the access control device, with the access control device being located externally of the token operated actuator, the actuator having a token validator including a token input for receiving a token and a single valid token output and a separate single invalid token output both in communication with the token input and an actuating device positioned in alignment with the valid token output, the token validator being configured to distinguish between, and separate, a valid token and an invalid token introduced into the token input of the token validator and passing through the token validator; receiving a token in the token input of the token validator; and automatically transitioning the access control device from the first state to the second state via the actuator in response to an electrical signal generated by the actuator resulting from a valid token introduced into the token input of the token validator and detected by the actuating device.
