The Johnson Controls S300-DIN-RDR2SA is a professional-grade, dual-technology card reader designed for high-security access control systems. Its primary function is to read credentials from users and send the data to a central access control panel for verification. The “Dual-Technology” aspect means it supports two different types of credentials: HID Prox (125 kHz) and HID iCLASS SE (13.56 MHz), providing flexibility and a migration path for upgrading security systems.
The “DIN-Rail” in the name indicates that it is designed to be mounted on a standard DIN rail, making it ideal for installation inside electrical cabinets, server racks, or other protected enclosures, typically where the access control panel is located.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Dual-Technology Reader:
-
HID iCLASS SE (13.56 MHz): Reads secure, encrypted credentials including iCLASS Seos, which offers the highest level of security on the iCLASS platform. Supports secure identity verification and is future-proof.
-
HID Prox (125 kHz): Reads legacy HID proximity cards for backward compatibility. This allows an organization to migrate from older Prox cards to more secure iCLASS cards without replacing all readers at once.
-
-
DIN Rail Mounting:
-
Provides a clean, organized, and secure installation inside control panels. This protects the reader from environmental factors and tampering.
-
-
Form Factor (RDR2SA):
-
The “S” in RDR2SA signifies it has a Supervised Tamper Switch. This means the unit can detect and report if someone attempts to remove it from its mounting, triggering a security alarm.
-
-
Wiegand Output:
-
Uses the industry-standard Wiegand protocol to communicate with the access control panel. This ensures broad compatibility with most major access control systems from Johnson Controls (like C•CURE 9000), as well as many other manufacturers.
-
-
LED and Buzzer Indicators:
-
Features a multi-color LED (Red/Green) and a buzzer to provide clear, audible and visual feedback to users (e.g., access granted, denied, or reader error).
-
-
High Security:
-
Supports advanced encryption and secure card technologies like iCLASS SE and Seos, protecting against card cloning and skimming.
