ICT TSEC Standard RFID Card Reader

PRX-TSEC-STD

The tSec Standard RFID Card Reader provides a complete multi-technology smart card solution. Compatible with all Wiegand data capable control systems and incorporating RS-485 communication, tSec Readers allow rapid deployment of secure technology in any environment. Available in multiple card capabilities (DESFire, MIFARE, and 125kHz cards), with an optional keypad, and in a choice of black or white, you can select the model to fit your needs and your decor.

Features Multi Card Technology

Available with 13.56MHz smart card capability, or as a multi technology reader that combines both 125kHz proximity and 13.56MHz capabilities in a single unit delivering maximum compatibility while providing a path forward to the latest technology. The multi technology reader is ideal for organizations that wish to transition to smart technology at their own pace, as it means they don’t need to replace all their cards upfront.

Bluetooth® / NFC Credential Reading

Bluetooth / NFC capability enables you to use your smartphone as your access credential for maximum convenience. Equipped with support for most modern iPhone and Android devices, you can unlock the door using a unique access credential that is supplied by the Protege Mobile App, entered against your user record in Protege, and authenticated by a secure cloud based server.*

* Bluetooth capability is denoted on tSec models with the -BT suffix. These readers must be running firmware version 229 or higher.

Optional Vandal Resistant Cover

Designed to withstand some of the harshest settings, the optional vandal resistant covers are ideal for locations where a card reader may be exposed to damage, including corridors, parking buildings, correctional facilities, and other public places. Highly resistant to impact, such as from the swing of a hammer or baseball bat, its robust construction provides greater durability and protection against vandalism and malicious damage. The flush design also serves as an anti-ligature measure for an additional level of safety.

  • Optional Features

    A range of optional features means there is a model to suit everyone.

    • Available with or without capacitive touch keypad
    • Choose from the 13.56MHz (DESFire/MIFARE) card reader or the Multi-Technology model that supports both 13.56MHz and 125kHz formats
    • Opt for either black or white according to your decor
  • Configurable LED Strip

    The tSec reader provides the ability to change the color of the LED strip (16 colors available) to show when a function has started, succeeded or failed. For example, when a function is used to arm an area, you can set the LED to change to purple to show that the function has started, yellow to show that the area has armed successfully, and red to indicate that the function has failed.

    This functionality is only supported by tSec readers that are using RS-485 configuration.

  • IP65 Protection

    The IP65 environmental rating provides a high degree of protection from the elements, making the tSec reader suitable for harsh environments. Readers can be mounted indoors or outdoors, located anywhere from the car park gate to the office door.

  • Flexible Communication

    Choose between the intelligent RS-485 connection for fast, flexible, secure communication, or Wiegand for compatibility with all standard access control systems. RS-485 provides the added benefits of being easier and more cost effective to wire and deploy, and allows for direct integration with Protege systems enabling you to make changes on the fly once readers are installed. RS-485 also allows for longer cable runs and offers a simpler firmware update process.
