The reader outputs a PAC format suitable for PAC 202/512 access controllers. They are used in security
applications and can be installed in new installations or as an upgraded reader in existing proximity access
control systems. Each reader incorporates a LED which is controlled by the security system and provides
feedback to a person wishing to enter.
External Use
Mount the reader on a suitable external single gang surface mount box.
Make sure that the wire bundle to the reader has an IP rating of at least IP67.
Use warming pads if the temperature of the reader is expected to fall below -10ºC (14ºF).
