DATASHEET KXC-WA9
Overview
The Kentix IP wall reader WA9 enables the contactless activation of doors and barriers with a UHF RFID chip. The long-range wall reader can read RFID chips up to a distance of 8 meters. The housing complies with protection class IP67. The setup always consists of the actual wall reader and the connected Kentix AccessManager. The wall reader is connected to the AccessManager via a 4-wire connection. The AccessManager itself connects directly to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) capable network switch. To control electric strikes/motor locks, the SmartRelay offers two relay outputs and, depending on the power class of the strikes, an integrated PoE splitter with 24VDC output.
