About the product
The Architect® Blue Standard Reader is a secure vandal proof card reader compliant with RFID and Bluetooth® (Low Energy) technologies. The Architect® Blue reader identifies mobile phones thanks to many Prox or handsfree identification modes. It can work alongside or replace traditional RFID access cards. It integrates an EAL5+ crypto processor to improve data protection and privacy.
Transform your smartphone into an access card – just activate Bluetooth and effortlessly present your phone to the reader. There are various identification modes to make your access options both secure and much more intuitive!
The different modes of identification are:
- Card Mode – by placing your smartphone in front of the reader.
- Slide Mode – by placing your hand close to the reader without taking out your phone.
- Tap Tap Mode – by tapping your smartphone twice in your pocket for near or remote opening.
- Remote Mode – by using your smartphone as a remote control.
- Hands-free Mode – by simply passing in front of the reader.
Installation
The Architect® Blue Standard Reader can be seamlessly connected to our range of top-of-the-line controllers, including the SDC-650 Multiple Door Controller (via OSDP), the SDC-620 Wiegand Door Controller (via Wiegand/OSDP), and the SDC-320 Wiegand Two Door Controller (via Wiegand). In addition, it can be connected to the SEB-722 remote IO expansion board (via Wiegand).
Operation
When a user presents their smartphone/card at the reader, the reader transmits the corresponding user identifier number to the door controller for analysis. The controller then determines the access permission, based on predetermined access rules, which is subsequently conveyed to the reader. The reader, in turn, provides the appropriate feedback to the user through the use of its LED display and buzzer signals, reflecting the determined access permission status.
