For the AXS-10, AXS-10 Pro & AXS-100 Access Control Systems

Installation Guide

Product Overview

The RDC-3 and RDC-3MP are
ISO 7811 compliant magnetic strip
card readers for the VisAccess
AXS-10, AXS-10 Pro and
AXS-100 access control systems.

The RDC-3 is designed for indoor
installations, while the anti-vandal
RDC-3MP is suitable for high-risk,
all-weather locations where polymer
constructed readers are not usable.

Both readers feature long reader
head life durability, low power
consumption and bi-direction read
capability of single or dual mag
tracks. The RDC-3MP also has
triple track read functionality of
high or low coercivity mag-strip
cards.

The RDC-3 is supplied with a 1m (3.2 ft) 4-conductor shielded
cable, while the RDC-3MP has a 1.5m (5.0 ft) 7-conductor
shielded cable for wiring the devices to the AXS-10 controller.

Optionally, the RDC-3/3MP readers may be interfaced with
AXS-100 access control systems through the RDA-4 reader
interface module.

Additionally, the RDA-PC Batch Enrollment Adapter facilitates
the usage of RDC-3/3MP readers for the enrollment of card
ID data from large numbers of mag-strip cards into Visonic
Technologies’ AXSalert (all versions) or EIRIS V4.6
(or higher) enterprise software platforms.

CAUTION: It is important that you read, understand,
