MORX SEM03 RFID Card and PIN Access Control Keypad, 500 Users

Overview

The MORX SEM03 is a keypad door controller with a built-in proximity card reader that works on its own, with no software or PC. A person presents an RFID (radio frequency identification) card or enters a PIN, and the SEM03 switches its lock output to release the door. It is for internal doors in offices, schools, shops, clinics and apartment blocks where a simple card or code entry is enough.

Is it right for you?

• It suits an internal door: the plastic housing is for indoor mounting only.
• It suits a place where users are managed on the unit itself with master cards, with no software.
• The lock output is rated below 1 A, so it suits smaller locks; for a larger lock, use a power supply with its own relay.
• If you need fingerprints, look at the mBio-ST2. If you need a weatherproof reader for a gate, look at the WebPass range.

Key features

• Touch button keypad in a plastic housing, 114 x 75 x 16 mm.
• Reads proximity cards at 3 to 6 cm.
• Door open time adjustable from 0 to 99 s, plus a relay toggle mode for doors that should stay unlocked until the next card or code.
• Reader mode with Wiegand 26 or 34 output, selected by the user, so it can also act as a reader for an access control panel.
• Data backup between two SEM03 units over the D0 and D1 lines, so a second unit can be loaded with the same users.
• Static current below 30 mA.

What else you need

• A 12 V DC supply (plus or minus 10%); the unit is supplied without a power adaptor, so add a 12 V, 2 A supply.
• An electromagnetic (EM) lock or electric strike and an exit button.
• Compatible proximity cards or key fobs.

Installation

An access control installer should mount it indoors beside the door, wire the 12 V DC supply, lock output and exit button, then enrol cards and PINs using the master cards. If the lock draws more than the output can carry, switch the lock through the power supply’s relay instead.

Before you buy

• The lock output is rated below 1 A: check the lock current.
• Indoor mounting only.
• The power adaptor (12 V, 2 A) is not supplied with the unit.
