The MRC350 card capture reader is a front-end device that can replace any standard proximity or smart card reader and provide the added capability of capturing cards under instruction from an access control unit. It can be integrated into roadside pedestals, turnstiles or any appropriate housing as an OEM card reader for access control applications. The card data is read by an attached reader and passed onto an access control unit. The access control unit then makes a decision based on this data and signals back to the card capture unit to either capture or return the card and to indicate whether or not the card has been accepted. The MRC350 card capture reader can use third party readers to support any card format, making it ideal for integration into existing systems. Proximity or Smart Card Reader with card capture capability. Supports most technologies with transparent forwarding of card data to the controller. Requires a voltage free closed contact signal from the controller for capture and return requests. Reader must be free issued to Nortech. For use with ISO cards only.
