Actpro

Start with a controller, then choose readers for the doors and the cards users will carry.

Controller and door station

The ACTpro 1520 kit pairs the ACTpro-1520 single-door IP controller with an EM1030 125 kHz mullion proximity reader. Inside the ACTpro-1520 are a 12 V DC, 2 A power supply and a two-port Ethernet switch, and it monitors tamper and mains, takes emergency door release (break glass) inputs and supports fire override. To add one more door to an ACTpro controller, the ACTpro-120 door station links back over RS-485 and leaves the access decisions to the controller. The ACTpro-120 carries its own 12 V DC, 2 A supply with room for a 12 V backup battery, a main door relay plus an auxiliary relay, and a surface enclosure for indoor walls.

MIFARE readers

For narrow frames, the MF1030E is a slim 13.56 MHz MIFARE mullion reader. Its 3 m pigtail lead is fixed, with no detachable connector, and its output can be set to Wiegand (26-bit or 37-bit) or Clock & Data. Where users must enter a PIN, the MF1050e pairs a MIFARE reader with a backlit keypad; its polycarbonate case is IP67 and IK08 and suits surface or flush fitting. The MF1030PM, a panel-mount reader for proximity only, is IP67 rated, reads ACT MIFARE sector data plus the serial number of any MIFARE Classic card, and works in temperatures of -40°C to +50°C.

Enrolment and cards

The ACT-USB installs simply by plugging into USB and is used with ACT Enterprise software to enrol credentials and manage who has access. Its supported technologies are ACT RFID, HID, MIFARE Classic and DESFire EV1. The EM10C4 clamshell cards come ten to a pack and are compatible with standard 125kHz RFID readers.
