A New Generation of Reader for the Assa Abloy Aperio Family
Many access control systems require electrical wiring, which can increase installation costs and damage the door or building fabric when retrofitted. Now there is a way to control access digitally and cable-free.
The Aperio DR100 Wireless Wall Reader with Relays adds flexible, reliable digital access control to entrances, turnstiles, loading bays, roof access and more – both inside the building and outside (IP65). Access control is often essential at high-traffic doors such as main entrances. However, many traditional solutions require electrical wiring, which can increase installation costs and damage the door or building fabric when retrofitted.
“The Aperio DR100 brings encrypted digital access technology to new indoor and outdoor applications,” says Robert Eriksson, head of wireless door lock product management at Assa Abloy Opening Solutions EMEIA. “It ensures that organizations can fully equip their building with Assa Abloy’s Aperio system.”
Compatibility is built into the DR100 in multiple convenient ways. The device is a universal I/O reader that works with any electrified, electromechanical, electronic or motorized lock. It integrates seamlessly with almost any access or building system. Facilities managers can extend control and access management with the Aperio DR100 and still manage every lock and user from their existing interface and a single database. Like all Aperio devices, the DR100 works with the broadest range of RFID technologies and protocols. Aperio Mobile Access supports both NFC and BLE unlocking, which is easy and intuitive – users simply present their phone at the reader.
Installing an Aperio DR100 is simple and flexible, with a choice of configurable relay options to operate the electric strike and power the operating or delay relay – and no cutting necessary. The hard-powered device does not need a control panel, simplifying fitting and saving installation costs. The secure installation mode further optimizes reliability: integrated monitoring protects against device tampering and provides weather resistance.
Assa Abloy’s Aperio range of battery-powered cylinders, escutcheons, security locks, server rack locks and handles can control access through many different types of opening. Office building entrances, commercial loading bays, school turnstiles and a host of other openings at all kinds of premises can also now enjoy the benefits of convenient, efficient Aperio digital access.
