Long Range RFID – The Progeny Telekey II

Introduction
The Progeny Telekey II is a long-range reader for use with button activated fobs. The read range of 20 metres can be extended to 100 metres with the antenna provided. It is an ideal way to control access through automated gates, rising barriers etc. Fobs can be enabled or disabled from the access control system and all users will be identified and logged. Vehicle users do not need to get out of the cab in order to open a barrier.
Using the Telekey for secure access could not be simpler. The uniquely numbered Telekey fob can be managed in your P4 access control system just like any card credential. The Telekey II reader connects to the P4 access control system using the dark crystal 4 wire interface.

How it works
Each key fob has a unique ID number, pressing one of the buttons ( 1 or 2) on the fob, it transmits this number. When in range, this number is read by the reader and passed onto a standard access controller for decision making.
Each fob can be treated as any other credential and allocated:
• Access Levels
• Time zones
• Calendar limits
• ‘Valid from’ and ‘Valid to’ dates

 

The IP56 rated enclosure of the reader makes it suitable for indoor or outdoor mounting. This removes any need to dig up the road or car park to run cables to readers near the gate or barrier. The reader also has two reader outputs that correspond to the two buttons on the fob. This can be used to control two barriers from one reader, possibly for in/out applications.
