CRC220 and CRC221 Online Door Controllers

Print this page

CRC220 online door controllerThe CRC22x family of reader controllers comprises versatile modular on-line access controllers suitable for controlling access points such as doors and vehicle barriers by validating credentials such as cards, key fobs and vehicle tags.

The CRC220 and CRC221 controllers are components of  an online access control system linked to Norpass3 Access Control Management Software via either TCP/IP or RS485.

Supporting a comprehensive range of Clock & Data and Wiegand interface formats, each CRC22x module can be used to control access through one or two doors/barriers while supporting a wide range of managed access control features. There are several enclosure options available with up to four reader interfaces per enclosure plus an integral power supply unit.

Users can configure and manage all controllers remotely from Norpass3. Once in service, updates to the system such as card validity are automatically updated via the network connection. Records of all events taking place at the reader inputs are passed to Norpass3 over the network connection as they occur. The network interface to Norpass3 can be either RS485 or TCP/IP.

Benefits

  • Easily managed using simple centralised management of data
  • Choice of mix and match module types enables cost-effective network structure  
  • Support for a wide range of card formats and card reader interfaces makes it the ideal choice for enhancing an existing access control system
  • Security levels can be tailored to customer needs using optional security features
  • Improved visitor card management when used with our card capture reader
  • Meets demanding customer requirements through a choice of enclosures with tamper alarms fitted as standard plus features such as fire alarm control input, individual door alarms and configurable inputs and outputs
