Spectra ACT500 – Reliable Door‑Level Access Control
The Spectra ACT500 is a two‑door, four‑reader access control system from the InstaID series. It is designed to simultaneously control and monitor up to two doors, reducing per‑door costs without compromising security.
Connect any industry‑standard reader (fingerprint, mifare, proximity) via configurable Wiegand (26–40 bits) or clock/data interfaces. With inbuilt TCP/IP networking, the ACT500 is ideal for corporate offices, research labs, server rooms, and small‑to‑medium multi‑door sites.
Key Features
2‑Door / 4‑Reader Controller
Controls two doors with two entry readers, two exit readers, two locks, and two exit switches. Full control over both doors from one controller.
Inbuilt RJ45 Ethernet
Connects to existing TCP/IP networks. Data transfers in real time to a central server, enabling instant monitoring and reporting.
Field‑Upgradable Firmware
Upgrade firmware over Ethernet without removing the device – reduces downtime and simplifies customization.
Anti‑Passback & Interlocking
Prevents re‑entry without exit and allows door groups where access is allowed only when all other doors are closed.
Large Database Capacity
Stores up to 30,000 cardholders and 55,000 transaction events in non‑volatile memory.
Protected Enclosure & Battery Backup
Aluminium die‑cast housing protects electronics. Provision for 12V/7.2Ah battery ensures operation during power cuts.
