Deployment / Use Cases
This card reader is ideal for door access control in commercial, industrial, and institutional settings. Its proximity and key code functionality supports diverse user preferences, from quick card taps to secure PIN entry for added verification.
Common applications include office buildings, warehouses, schools, and healthcare facilities where controlled access is necessary. The adhesive-backed keytag option allows for creating custom proximity cards by attaching to non-metallic devices, expanding credential options for temporary or specialized access needs.
Commercial Security
Deploy at main entrances, server rooms, or restricted areas to manage employee and visitor access with reliable card reading and optional PIN verification.
Outdoor Installations
Use in parking gates, perimeter doors, or delivery entrances where weather resistance and vandal protection are critical for uninterrupted operation.
Physical Profile
The reader measures 4.60" (116.84 mm) in height, 2.80" (71.12 mm) in width, and 0.84" (21.34 mm) in depth, offering a compact form factor that fits discreetly on door frames or walls. Its black color blends with most architectural finishes, while the robust construction ensures long-term performance in demanding environments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 4.60" (116.84 mm), 2.80" (71.12 mm), 0.84" (21.34 mm). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
