Armatura EP10C[SFMH] Slim Outdoor Multi-Tech Card and Mobile Reader, IP68

Overview

The Armatura EP10C[SFMH] is a slim card and phone reader for narrow door frames, mullions, turnstile posts and outdoor gate pillars at offices, server rooms and gates. It reads both low frequency and high frequency cards and takes phone credentials over Bluetooth, in a weatherproof, vandal resistant housing.

This version is built with the [SFMH] card module, so choose it when your existing cards match that module.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a tight mounting position, indoors or out, where a standard square reader will not fit.
• It is a reader only: it needs an access controller to decide who gets in.
• It is read only as standard; reading and writing to cards needs customisation.
• In locations that drop below 0 °C, give it its own supply of at least 8 W.

Key features

• Multi-technology reading: 125 kHz, 13.56 MHz (ISO 14443 A and B, ISO 15693) and Bluetooth 5.2.
• Reads smartphones from up to 10 m, with the distance configurable on each reader, and cards from up to 60 mm depending on the environment and card.
• Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) v2.2 over RS-485 with an up to 128-bit secure channel, or Wiegand output.
• AES128 encryption between the reader and the controller, with data held in a certified secure crypto chip.
• IP68 dust and water protection, IK10 vandal resistance and magnetic tamper detection.
• RGB LEDs and a buzzer with adjustable intensity, both configurable in the Armatura Connect app.
• Polycarbonate UL94-V0 housing with no structural degradation from UV over 3 years.
• Standard cover of 48 x 114.8 x 24.7 mm, or a wider gang-box cover of 76.2 x 123.0 x 24.7 mm, with optional Asian, European or single-gang back-box spacing.
• 9 to 24 V DC, 150 mA maximum at 12 V DC; works from -30 to 70 °C.
• CE, FCC, RoHS 3.0, WEEE, UL 294 and IEC EN / BS EN 60839 Grade 4.

What else you need

An access controller: an Armatura AHDU door unit or AHSC controller over OSDP, or a third-party panel over Wiegand.

A 9 to 24 V DC supply, at least 2.4 W above 0 °C, or a separate supply of at least 8 W below 0 °C.

The Armatura Connect app to set the LEDs, buzzer and Bluetooth range.

Installation

An access control installer should fit it. The job involves fixing it to a mullion or flat surface with the standard or gang-box cover, wiring power and the RS-485 or Wiegand connection to the controller, and setting the indicators and Bluetooth range in the Armatura Connect app.

Software and licences

The Armatura Connect app configures the LEDs, buzzer and Bluetooth read distance. Phone credentials come from the controller’s platform.

Before you buy

• Card support depends on the [SFMH] module, so tell us the card technology you use.
