S831 Micro Contactless Smart Card Reader
The S831 is a small-footprint Contactless Smart Card Reader.
The S831 is able to read both Texas Instruments™ (ISO 15693) smart cards, and the
card serial number on Philips® MIFARE® smart cards.
For either type of card, the S831 supports the use of unencoded cards (where only
the unique card serial number is read). In the case of Texas Instruments (TI) cards,
an encoded card number can be read. Encoding formats supported include TI's own
formats and G4Tec’s own "smartMAX" format.
The S831’s small size makes it ideal for mounting unobtrusively.
The S831 can be connected to G4Tec’s multiNODE-1000, multiNODE-2 SMD, multiNODE-2000
and multiNODE-2100 controllers and compatible with G4Tec's Symmetry Business, Symmetry Professional, Symmetry Enterprise
and Symmetry Global Software at Version 4.0 and later.
Unlike Wiegand interface readers, the S831 uses secure, bidirectional, Pseudo-Random
supervised communications between the multiNODE controllers and their associated
readers. An alarm will sound if communications are lost.
A distance from any of the multiNODE controllers to the S831 reader of up to 3000ft
(1000m) can also be achieved.
The S831 has a maximum read range of up to 2" (50mm).
Other key features include LEDs for visual indication of card accepted
or card rejected
and an integrated buzzer for card read and door pre-held warning.
The S831 Micro Contactless Smart Card Reader is very cost effective and comes with
exceptional reliability and consistent read range characteristics.
The S831 has fully potted electronics making it ideal for both outdoor and indoor
use. It is warranted against defects in workmanship for life (see our warranty policy
for details).
