Card Readers
Proximity Readers
Proximity readers transmit a radio frequency signal. A proximity card is a
radio frequency transponder or tag, which consists of an antenna coil and an
integrated circuit chip encoded with a unique identification number. When a
card is passed near the reader, it energizes the card’s antenna, causing it to
send its identification number to the reader. The card and reader do not make
physical contact.
Proximity read heads provide Wiegand signaling to the apC/8X. LED
indicators for proximity readers vary according to manufacturer.
Smart Card Readers
Smart Card contactless readers are available that support the following card
technologies:
• ISO 14443A Serial number
• ISO 14443B Serial number
• MIFARE® Serial number
• DESFire® Serial number
• ISO 15693 Serial number
• iCLASS® Serial number
• MIFARE® Sectors
Some readers are configurable and others are fixed length. Some readers are
dual technology that can also read standard HID 125 KHz cards, as well as
the 13.56 MHz smart cards.
Note:
UL has not evaluated Smart Card readers.
Paired Readers
You can pair any two readers if they are configured with the same door
contact at the host computer. Paired readers coordinate door strike control and
door contact shunting between themselves.
Note that request-to-exit does not function if a door is configured with two
readers for anti-passback.
