CARDS AND READERS

2000-bit programmable memory

The 13.56 MHz access control cards and readers are compliant with the ISO 15693 vicinity card standard offering increased security and authentication, at-the-door read-write programmability, interoperability across all suppliers and applications and multiple card-reading capability. The supplier's cards and badges provide a factory-programmed ID that cannot be duplicated, more than 2000 bits of data and hold 30 times more data than traditional 125 kHz solutions. The data is written and stored on the card, independent of a host system. The readers have a read range 40 percent longer than traditional systems. The readers create a multi-card read zone, eliminating read interference.

Features: compatible with RS-485 communications protocol, Wiegand-compliant and available in a wall plate or mullion option.

HIGH-FREQUENCY READERS

Multiple card reads

Proximity readers work with a variety of contactless smart cards and key fobs that meet ISO 15693 and ISO 14443 A/B standards. Communicating one hundred times faster than traditional 125 KHz proximity readers, the reader offers multiple card reads, read/write applications and custom card encoding. The readers come with an industry-standard Wiegand output compatible with most access control systems. A second communications port is provided supporting either RS-485 or TTL protocols.

Features: readers are available as fully potted, weather-resistant units with integral antennas; a 50 ohm SMA connector is also available where an external antenna is needed.

ENTRY-LEVEL CONTACTLESS ACCESS CONTROL

Provides secure data transmission through encrypted HF communication

The product is developed to meet the requirements of contactless access control products, such as door locks. The product is available as a chip set, consisting of a micro controller containing the LEGIC smart firmware and the ASIC chip, which contains the HF modulation and demodulation unit. It is based on the standardized frequency of 13.56 MHz and offers secure data transmission through encrypted HF communication.

READ-PROX READER AND MINI FOB

Up to 10,000 users

Designed for up to 10,000 users, the reader can be used for interior and exterior security applications. The reader and mini fob have been redesigned for a more low-profile, discreet application. The LED's are brighter and aligned horizontally to be more visible from a wider viewing range. The mini fob is half the size of the original model and can be attached to a keychain.
