ZKTeco ZL500 Hotel Door Lock

Overview

What it is

The ZKTeco ZL500 is a wireless hotel lock with a zinc alloy and PMMA (acrylic) finish and an American standard mortise with five latches. It links over ZigBee to an SLG410 gateway so that ZKBioHLMS can monitor room and gateway status in real time.

What it is used for

It is aimed at upscale hotels and resorts that want contactless guest entry, live room status at reception and a single guest card for rooms, lifts, gyms, dining areas and meeting rooms.

Key features

• ZigBee wireless link to the SLG410 gateway
• Real-time remote monitoring of door and gateway status
• Contactless unlock from a smartphone HTML5 (H5) page
• One-card solution for guest room, access control and elevator rights
• Free egress: the lock always opens from the inside in an emergency
• Reads ISO 14443 Type-A S50 and S70 cards
• Four AA alkaline batteries, about 1 year battery life

Buying considerations

The ZL500 fits doors 35 to 45 mm thick with an American standard 5-latch mortise, so check door preparation before ordering. Gateways need network connection, so plan their positions with the IT team. An open Application Programming Interface (API) allows third-party hotel software integration.

Compatibility and what you need

You need ZKBioHLMS (ZKBioSecurity) software, SLG410 gateways, a D147-H card encoder, MIFARE S50 or S70 cards and AA alkaline batteries. Rated -20 °C to 55 °C, CE-RED certified.
