T-525W
Overview
Transition™ Series multi-technology access
readers feature simultaneous compatibility with
multi-vendor credential technologies—UTC and
HID 125 kHz Proximity, HID Corporate 1000
Proximity, 13.56 MHz contactless smart card
technologies for MIFARE® Card Serial Number
(ISO 14443A), MIFARE/DESFire Card Serial
Number, and Vicinity Card Serial Number (ISO
15693), including HID iCLASS® Card Serial
Number—all in one reader.
With this remarkable technology combination,
security administrators can now deploy the
Transition readers into existing or new facilities or
systems—continuing to serve existing
card-carrying users while migrating to the latest in
security and smart-card technology
advancements.
No matter which credential technology an
organization currently employs, Transition readers
allow continued use of existing systems and
features—but more importantly, they also offer
the ability to transition to new and more secure
smart card technology. Transition readers offer
security system administrators an economical
solution to migrate to this new technology and
better secure their businesses, all on their own
timelines and budgets.

“SW” series of Transition
readers provides superior value
when performance-matched with
select access control platforms. UTC
offers intelligent supervision (F/2F
Supervised mode) that continuously
monitors communication between the
access control panel, the reader at
the door, and door contact and
Request-to-Exit (REX)equipment.
The unique four-state supervision of
the Transition readers monitors and
reports cut and short-circuit lines.
There’s also an internal
tamper-alarm mechanism, so
security staff are immediately notified
if a reader is tampered with, a door is
breached or a cable is cut or shorted.
Tri-color LED and audible alerts
indicate status, alarm and
perimeter-tampering
conditions—giving you more
security than is possible with
conventional Wiegand-based
installations.
