Hid Magnetic Stripe-Prox Reader with Keypad 240

Hid Magnetic Stripe-Prox Reader with Keypad 240

Proximity Keypad Reader 240

The HID Combination/Transition Keypad Reader 240 adds a PIN keypad to the dual-technology platform of the Model 230, supporting magnetic stripe, proximity, and PIN use simultaneously in a single reader housing. This makes it ideal for high-security transition deployments where some users still carry magnetic stripe cards and others have been migrated to proximity, while all require a PIN for entry. Compatible with EMPI, ABA/ANSI/ISO magnetic stripe, and HID/EMPI proximity formats. Read range up to 5.0 inches. Dimensions: 4.56" x 3.0" x 1.14".

HID's Combination/Transition Readers provide a single reader that simultaneously supports both magnetic stripe and proximity technologies. When a PIN is needed, HID also offers a single reader with keypad that supports magnetic stripe, proximity, and PIN use. These two combination/transition readers provide specific solutions to system upgrade challenges.

To provide a seamless technology bridge with one common output, HID's combination readers will read both magnetic stripe and proximity cards. By allowing the use of existing magnetic stripe cards while gradually upgrading to newer proximity technology, substantial cost savings can be realized. In addition, the upgrade process is simplified. Implementation can occur as budgets and schedules allow.

For those users who require additional security or have applications requiring a PIN, HID offers combination readers with or without a keypad. Choose the combination/transition readers that offer the technologies you need for each application!
