Versatile Use Cases and Compatibility

Ideal Installation Scenarios

This reader fits narrow spaces like door frames thanks to its mullion-type build. Install it on glass doors, turnstiles, or slim entrances with ease. The compact size measures just 50 mm wide. It blends seamlessly into modern architecture.

It works well in offices, schools, hospitals, and factories. Use fingerprint scans for high-security areas. Add RFID for quick guest access or temporary users. The device supports centralized setups with Suprema CoreStation. It handles multiple doors through one controller efficiently.

Businesses in Kenya choose it for employee entry points. Hospitals secure restricted zones like pharmacies or labs. Schools protect staff rooms and computer areas. Factories control access to machinery zones.

Broad Compatibility Options

The device connects via RS-485 using OSDP V2 protocol. This ensures secure, supervised communication over distance. Third-party controllers work if they support Wiegand or OSDP standards.

It reads multiple RFID formats in one unit. Support includes 125kHz EM cards and 13.56MHz smart cards. Compatible credentials cover MIFARE, MIFARE Plus, DESFire EV1/EV2/EV3, FeliCa, and NFC. Android smartphones serve as mobile keys via NFC.
