LocksOnline TAG-Pro Long-Range Active Proximity Reader

This incredible stand-alone active proximity reader gives you the ability to grant access to cardholders within up to 15 meters* of the reader! This gives a completely hands-free access control solution for up to 30 users, requiring no physical presentation of the card to the reader. 

This range is fully adjustable, allowing you to control how 'sensitive' the proximity detection of the reader is.  This makes these readers ideal for a multitude of different applications, from remotely unlocking your front door when you get home with your shopping, right up to triggering a depot's electronic gate system when a card holder approaches in their vehicle.

One of the distinct advantages with these long-range readers, is in fact the design of the cards.  Forget the old days where this type of long-range system would cost a fortune replacing cards once their internal batteries had drained, these cards can be opened and have their batteries changed!  Powered by a simple flat-cell CR2032 battery, you can pick these up off the shelf of most shops that sell batteries, as they are one of the most popular cell batteries used in many devices these days.

What's more, you can also opt for the power-saving cards, which have an integral motion detector.  This means they will sit in 'stand-by' mode, conserving battery, until they are physically moved, which will then trigger the internal active transponder to begin transmitting to the reader.

When a user approaches the reader, their card will 'speak' to the reader and the reader will then attempt to validate the user's authorisation. On successful authentication, the reader will flash a green light and sound to prompt the user they have been granted access.  When an unauthorised card is detected, a red light will flash to acknowledge the failed attempt.

With the accepted operating voltage being anything from 12 volts up to 30 volts (DC), these can be implemented into access control systems with a whole range of different components.

The tags battery life for the standard is around two years and the for the power saving version would depend on how much its moves. If you plan on keeping the power saving version in the glove box of your car as an example the power saving mode would be triggered all the time and may not last as long as the standard version. 

* The exact range is dependant on environmental conditions, mounting proximity to metal objects and battery condition of the transmitter.   We recommend a location based 'bench-test' prior to installation.
