S822 Contactless Smart Card Wall Switch Reader

S822 Contactless Smart Card Wall Switch ReaderThe S822 is designed for mounting on most standard electrical backboxes for ease of installation.

The S822 Contactless Smart Card Reader is able to read both HID® iCLASSTM smart cards, and the card serial number on Philips® MIFARE® smart cards.

For either type of card, the S822 supports the use of unencoded cards (where only the unique card serial number is read). In the case of HID iCLASS cards, an encoded card number can be read. Encoding formats supported include HID's own formats and G4Tec’s own "smartMAX" format.

The S822 can be connected to G4Tec’s multiNODE-1000, multiNODE-2 SMD, multiNODE-2000 and multiNODE-2100 controllers and is compatible with G4Tec's Symmetry Business, Symmetry Professional, Symmetry Enterprise and Symmetry Global Software at Version 4.0 or later.

Unlike Wiegand interface readers, the S822 uses secure, bidirectional, Pseudo- Random supervised communications between the multiNODE controllers and their associated readers. An alarm will occur if communications are lost.

A distance from any of the multiNODE controllers to the S822 reader of up to 3000ft (1000m) can also be achieved.

The S822 has a maximum read range of up to 2.5" (65mm).

Other key reader features include LED’s for visual indication of card accepted or card rejected and an integrated buzzer for card read and door pre-held warning.

The S822 Wall Switch Contactless Smart Card Reader is very cost effective and comes with exceptional reliability and consistent read range characteristics.

The S822 has fully potted electronics and is ideal for both outdoor and indoor use.

The S822 is warranted against defects in workmanship for life (see our warranty policy for details).
