SecuraKey RKWL Proximity Card Reader

SecuraKey Radio Key® Proximity Card technology is ideally suited for access control, time and attendance, parking, and many other applications requiring secure and reliable read-only cards. Radio Key® readers are available in three form factors: the RKWM, an S-shaped mini-mullion; theRKWS, a traditional single-gang box “wall switch”housing; and the RKWL, a large post/wall mount housing for long range applications.

Radio Key® readers use 125 kHz proximity technology, and work with SecuraKey encoded cards and key tags. Radio Key® readers use patented Dynascan® automatic tuning to optimize the reader to its RF environment, which provides dramatically better read range than competing products with the same antenna size. For example, the read range of Radio Key’s® mini-mullion compares with most wall switch readers, Radio Key’s® wall switch reader compares with most midrange readers, and the Radio Key® long range reader has up to 50% more read range than similar competing products.

Cards are available with custom 4-color graphics, with a glossy white dye-sublimation-ready finish forPhoto ID printing, or in a white molded clamshell form factor. Key tags are molded in rugged blackABS plastic.Radio Key® readers have an SIA standard Wiegand output and transmit data in virtually any Wiegand format up to 40 bits, so they are compatible with most access control panels including the SecuraKey SK-ACP.

Industry standard wire colors and functions, plus low current draw and 5VDC operation on wall switch and mini-mullion models allows easy upgrade of existing Wiegand interface readers including Wiegand swipe, TOUCH CARD® (Barium Ferrite)or magstripe technologies. The RKWL Long Range reader only requires 12 VDC, while competing products require an expensive 24VDC linear supply for optimum performance.
