The MCT12E-IO proximity reader is a state-of-the-art access control device designed for use within the RACS 5 system, making it an essential component for secure environments. This reader offers the capability to identify users via card and code, with an impressive reading distance of up to 7 cm. Operating at a frequency of 125 kHz, the MCT12E-IO is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, ensuring versatile deployment options. Its dual functional keys enhance user interaction, while the relay output allows for seamless integration with various access control systems.


Designed as a subordinate device to the access controller, the MCT12E-IO is equipped with a comprehensive set of input and output lines, enabling complete passage management without relying on additional inputs or outputs from the controller. The reader features three NO/NC input lines, two transistor outputs, and one relay output, all of which can be configured for either normal or reverse polarity. Communication with the controller is facilitated through a modified RS485 standard, allowing for star or tree cabling structures with a maximum bus length of 1200 meters. This flexibility, combined with its compact design, makes the MCT12E-IO an ideal choice for installation on door frames or structural profiles.


In addition to its robust technical specifications, including a built-in speaker with adjustable volume and a backlit keyboard, the MCT12E-IO also incorporates advanced features such as housing tamper detection and low-level configuration via RS485. The device supports firmware updates through the same interface, ensuring that it remains up-to-date with the latest technology. With its CE marking, the MCT12E-IO stands out as a reliable and efficient solution for access control needs.
