Keri’s NXT-6RK is the newest member of the NXT Series
Proximity Reader family. The NXT-6RK may be mounted
directly to standard U. S. A. sized single-gang wall boxes, and
is ideal for applications requiring an access credential and/or
personal identification number (PIN), such as high security dual
verification. It connects to an NXT Controller via the NXT-RM-3
Reader Interface Module to allow the Wiegand format keypad
data to be read by the controller while at the same time reading standard NXT formatted cards.
The NXT-6RK and NXT-RM3 are sold as a kit together (NXT-KPK) as well as individually.
Keypad data is transmitted via the reader’s data lines in either an 8-Bit Burst or 26-Bit Wiegand data
format, depending upon the PIN length required by the customer. The alpha-numeric keypad itself
makes use of a durable (no moving parts), non-mechanical capacitive technology. It includes advanced
enhancements including blue backlighting and a continuously illuminated 5-key, both for orientation
at night, tactile feedback, and a raised ‘pip’ on the 5-key for use by visually impaired individuals.
NXT Series 6RK Proximity Reader and Keypad
The single-piece NXT-6RK delivers non-contact read ranges up to 6 inches (152 mm), and is powered
by the controller. Physical size is a compact 4.6 x 3 x 0.70 inches (117 x 77 x 18 mm). Mounting is
simplified with horizontal and vertical mounting slots instead of holes which allows the reader to be
conveniently adjusted and leveled. To allow both indoor and outdoor operation the electronics are
sealed in tamper resistant epoxy potting. Concealing the mounting hardware, the NXT-6RK ships with
both black and white covers standard to match building decor.
