Pyramid Series Proximity is a comprehensive new line of
proximity OEM readers, cards and tags for access control
from Keri.
Users will appreciate the small, ultra thin and
attractive packaging of the Pyramid Series Proximity
readers. Installing dealers will appreciate their single
piece design, standard pass through Wiegand™ interface,
and potted weather and vandal resistant electronics.
There are five readers in the Pyramid Series
Proximity family.
- The first proximity reader in the series is the
P-300 Cascade Reader,
designed to be mounted directly to a metal mullion
or doorframe.
- The second is the P-500
Alps Reader, designed to mount to either a
single gang U.S. electrical box or any flat surface.
- The third is the P-400
Gibraltar Reader, constructed from a solid
piece of stainless steel and intended for areas
where crime and vandalism are a constant threat.
- The fourth is the
P-600 Rocky Reader and Keypad, combining
both a Pyramid Series Proximity reader and the
stainless steel Essex Electronics keypad into a
single, easy to install unit.
- The fifth is the
P-700 Yukon Reader, intended for
applications where a longer read range contributes
to the convenience of the access system.
Priced below today's market norms, Pyramid Series
Proximity Readers (called that due to their thin,
distinctive shape), are engineered using ultra-reliable
surface mount components and feature a distinctive
four-state status LED (red, green, amber, and off) and
audio tone. The LED and audio tone can both be
controlled independently by the access controller. The
single-piece readers operate from 5 to 14 VDC at a
current draw typically less than 90 ma and interface via
industry standard Wiegand™ or magnetic stripe output
formats, making them compatible with nearly every access
controller available.
Most recently, Keri confirms that a license agreement
has been concluded with HID Corporation. This agreement
allows the complete line of
Pyramid Series Proximity Readers to be optionally
configured to read HID's proximity access control cards,
including the ProxCard II® and ISOProx II®, as well as
the Pyramid Series credentials. HID compatible Pyramid
Series Proximity Readers are differentiated by a
label on the reader indicating the reader includes
Prox by HID™ technology.
The Pyramid Series readers are complemented by a
complete line of access credentials. They include the
PSC-1 Standard Light Proximity Card featuring a
lifetime warranty, the dye sublimation printable,
ISO-thin
PSM-2 Multi Technology Proximity Card available
with a magnetic stripe, and one of the smallest, most
durable credentials available, the
PSK-3 Proximity Key Ring Tag.
