COMPACT : the new standard in card reader modules

ProxTech International launches its latest card reader type, the COMPACT reader module.

This new reader is completing ProxTech’s range of card readers and card reader modules. Combining the well-known high quality of ProxTech’s readers with the very interesting cost price, the COMPACT series offer the flexibility of an extremely small module that can easily be turned into a flush-mount card reader.

COMPACT comes in either 13,56 MHz ( Mifare or Legic ) or 125 kHz ( EM, Hitag1, Hitag2 or Temic ) technology and is available with various data interfaces, such as Wiegand, Clock&Data, or TTL. With few external components, even RS232 and RS485 can be supplied.

Some features:

• Long proven technology
  COMPACT modules are based on the long proven technology of the ProxTech readers to give total satisfaction to the end-users.
• Extremely compact design
  COMPACT modules are extremely small ( 31 x 25 x 6 mm ) to fit into all existing or new terminals.
• External antenna to offer top flexibility
  The external antenna makes the COMPACT modules ideally suited for a wide variety of applications.
• Top technology offers maximum read ranges
  Using the most modern high-tech, COMPACT offers the user a comfortable read range of up to 10 cm for 125 kHz applications and 8 cm on 13,56 MHz.
• Super easy to turn module into a fully equipped flush-mount reader
  A readily available base plate ( COMPACT-BASE ) allows for the COMPACT module to be turned straight into a complete reader. The module is simply plugged onto this board and it’s ready to go. The COMPACT-BASE comes complete with integrated antenna for both 125 KHz and 13,56 MHz, a tricolour LED and a buzzer to provide the user with the necessary feedback when a card is presented to the µCOMPACT reader.
• COMPACTREAD : the complete reader assembly
  The COMPACT series can also be ordered complete as flush-mount reader. This can then be mounted in a standard 55mm electric switchbox and completed with a variety of switchbox covers, such as a.o. Niko, Gira, Jung, Merten, … . This modularity offers an easy integration in a wide variety of architectural strategies.
