Product features & benefits

Each reader control module is provided in an attractive wall mount cabinet and can manage up to two ID devices and operate their associated barriers or turnstiles via robust output relays.

Each DeltaQuest module collects ID data from the attached card readers or keypads and sends it together with the identity of the reader/keypad to the third-party software via the master module. If the software identifies that the ID data is valid, it is able to permit access to the user through the barrier or turnstile by sending a simple command to the corresponding DeltaQuest module via the master.

The DeltaQuest is ideal for use in the leisure industry when combined with third-party membership software.

The DeltaQuest is compatible with all Nortech’s reader technologies and can support many third-party readers and keypads.

Complete Turnkey Access Control for Membership Venues

The DQ-S2-PH provides a ready-to-install solution for leisure operators and system integrators who require rapid deployment without sourcing separate power supplies or enclosures.

The wall-mounted housing with integrated 12V DC 3A power supply and intelligent fuse panel makes it ideal for fitness centres managing turnstile entry points, swimming pools controlling changing room access, and social clubs overseeing multiple bar or function room entrances.

Venues running Gladstone, Legend, or similar membership platforms can connect the DeltaQuest directly to their existing software via USB or TCP/IP, enabling real-time member validation at each access point. The 312mm × 312mm enclosure fits standard UK electrical mounting points and provides clean cable termination for professional installations.

For multi-site leisure operators or local authority sports facilities, the ability to network up to 32 DeltaQuest units from a single PC connection simplifies central management while keeping each venue's access points responsive even during peak usage periods.

Frequently asked questions

What is included in the DQ-S2-PH package?

The DQ-S2-PH includes the DeltaQuest 2-reader interface PCB, a 312mm × 312mm plastic wall-mount enclosure, an integrated 12V DC 3A power supply unit, and an intelligent fuse panel for protected power distribution to readers.

What mains voltage does the enclosure version accept?

The integrated power supply accepts 90 to 264VAC at 47 to 63Hz, drawing a maximum of 1.6A at 115VAC or 1A at 230VAC. This makes it suitable for installations in the UK, Europe, and international markets.

How does the intelligent fuse panel work?

The fuse panel distributes 12V DC power to connected access devices such as card readers, with individual fused outputs and power supply monitoring. This protects readers from overcurrent and enables diagnostic visibility of power issues.

Can I upgrade from the PCB version to the enclosure version?

Yes, the DQ-S2-PX PCB can be installed inside the DQ-S2-PH enclosure or sourced separately. Many integrators purchase PCB-only units for custom installations and enclosure versions for standard wall-mount deployments.

What is the maximum cable length between DeltaQuest units?

RS485 communication between master and slave DeltaQuest modules supports cable runs up to 1200m using Belden 9729 or equivalent twisted-pair cabling. Reader cables can extend 25m for RS232 or 100m for Wiegand/C&D formats.
