Product Data Sheet
Model 940
2-State Proximity Perfect Reader
Introduction
The Model 940 Proximity Perfect® reader
represents the latest in proximity technology, and
offers true contactless convenience when
entering and exiting secure facilities. The new
Model 940 features two-state intelligent
supervision, and an environment optimization
technology that automatically adjusts to different
types of installation environments. The Model 940
is easy to install on conventional walls, metal
surfaces, and into single-gang US electrical
boxes.
Intelligent Supervision
The Model 940 reader features intelligent
two-state supervision that continuously monitors
for closed circuit conditions at door contacts, as
well as request to exit (REX) connections. The
Model 940 also ensures security personnel are
notified if a reader is tampered with, or
communication is lost between the reader and the
microcontroller - making the Model 940 one of the
most secure readers on the market.
Environment Optimization
The Model 940 reader also features a new
optimization technology that automatically adjusts
to a wide range of installation environments. After
installing the reader, it automatically detects and
optimizes the credential detection (read) field for
challenging environments like metal surfaces. By
optimizing the reader to any metal or non-metal
environment, card-holders will experience
consistent reader performance for all types of
installations. This feature also eliminates the need
for metal back plates or special metal-compatible
readers.
Weather Resistant/Lifetime Warranty
The Model 940 reader housings are made of
durable UV-resistant polycarbonate material that
inhibits discoloration in all types of indoor/outdoor
conditions including direct sunlight. The reader
also features advanced electronics and circuitry
for protection against inclement weather.
Combine all this protection with a lifetime
warranty, and any organization can confidently
expect years of exemplary reader service.
