Ethernet reader using RFID card self-contained or centralized mode
The PA253 VE reader is an access control reader that uses contactless badge technology.
It can operate in standalone or centralized mode.
In standalone mode, it checks the access rights stored on the badge and can deduct money or tokens from the card when controlling an access point, such as a swimming pool or gym turnstile.
In connected mode, it delegates the verification of access rights to the information system, which can take into account not only a wide range of data but also the specific rules of your facility. This mode allows real-time access logs and billing.
When operating using Ethernet, the reader remains autonomous in the case of computer failure (network or server). The reader’s built-in intelligence and the information stored on the badge allow decisions to be made locally or via IP network supervision.

Two relays in the reader can manage an access control or:
- traffic lights
- motorized box staples
- locking devices
- gates
- barriers
- turnstiles
- tennis club lighting
