Frequently asked questions

Which Vanderbilt products are on this page?

They centre on access control. The EM1030e mullion reader, the EM1040e compact reader and the EM1050e keypad reader read ACTProx 125 kHz credentials and HID-compatible tokens, and the EM10T3 is a pack of 10 ACT 125kHz tags.

Will a Vanderbilt reader connect to my existing controller?

Yes, if the controller accepts Wiegand or Clock & Data. The EM1030e offers Wiegand and Clock & Data interface options, the EM1040e has selectable Wiegand or Clock & Data outputs with a screw-terminal connector block, and the EM1050e outputs Clock & Data or 26-bit Wiegand with auto-detect. The EM1030e is wired through an approx. 2 m pigtail lead.

Can these readers be fitted outdoors?

Yes, the three proximity readers suit indoor or outdoor use. The EM1030e is rated IP66 and IK08 with potted electronics, the EM1040e IP65 and IK10, and the EM1050e IP55 and IK08. For high-risk entry points, the MF-VR stainless steel vandal-resistant cover fits ACTpro 1030 readers, and the V42 codelock suits indoor or outdoor mounting.

Can I use a PIN code instead of a card?

Yes, the EM1050e has an integrated keypad and runs in prox-only, PIN-only or combined PIN plus prox modes, so a site can use codes, cards or both together. The V42 codelock accommodates two four-digit codes for dual access, mounts indoors or outdoors and runs on 12 to 24 VAC.

What is a mullion reader?

A mullion reader is a slim reader designed for doorframe mounting. The EM1030e is a slim mullion-style multiformat proximity reader for doorframe mounting, surface or flush, with a robust polycarbonate housing and potted electronics, a tri-colour LED and an audible tone. It suits doorway frames, gates, turnstiles and internal or external entries.
