The P-400 Gibraltar Proximity Reader is one of
the newest member of Keri’s
Pyramid Series
Proximity line of OEM readers, cards,
and tags, and is specifically intended for
access control applications where crime and
vandalism are a constant threat.
The P-400, milled from a solid piece of
stainless steel, provides up to 1 inch (25 mm)
of read range. Protecting the window through
which the proximity electronics read is Fibertex®,
a UL-752 listed material for bulletproof
integrity. Installing dealers will appreciate
the P-400's single piece design, standard pass
through Wiegand™ or magnetic stripe interface,
and potted weather and vandal resistant
electronics, all backed by a lifetime warranty.
The P-400 is ideal for any application where
other types of readers (including proximity) may
fail due to vandalism. Many access applications
do not lend themselves to concealment of a
reader inside or behind a wall, so the reader
must be exposed to the perilous environment.
Examples of applications include housing
projects, prisons, schools and universities,
hospitals, and military facilities.
The P-400, engineered using ultra-reliable
surface mount components and backed by a
lifetime warranty, features an audible tone. The
audio tone can be controlled independently by
the access controller. It operates from 5 to 14
VDC at a nominal current draw of just 90 mA.
Most recently, Keri confirms that a license
agreement has been concluded with HID
Corporation. This agreement allows the P-300 to
be optionally configured at the factory to read
HID's proximity access control cards, including
the ProxCard II® and ISOProx II®, as well as the
complete range of Pyramid Series credentials.
