Proximity Reader
Kantech releases its newest generation of ioProx proximity readers. They leverage a new, streamlined design
with quick-connect terminal blocks, and a mullion/
keypad combination. These readers provide a cost-effective, easy to install access control solution, using either the XSF format with Kantech's EntraPass access control system, or the 26-bit Wiegand version with most industry access control systems.
The newly redesigned ioProx readers implement quick connect terminal blocks which allow installers to 'snap and lock' the necessary wires to the reader. Other cost-saving features include support for unshielded cable, and removable covers. Other unique features of the new ioProx readers include a mullion style complete with keypad, which fits neatly on any standard doorjamb, and Braille embossed keypads, which allows the readers to be part of an ADA compliant security solution.
