Overview

The RC-04 reader controller is an all-in-one intelligent device that requires a single CAT5 cable to provide power and data; eliminating the need for a panel and providing a simpler and smarter alternative leveraging the IT network.

You may also be interested in the Schlage RC series. It is the next generation reader controller that combines the innovative Pure IP™ access control technology pioneered by ISONAS together with Schlage’s intelligent hardware and credentials to deliver a comprehensive and cost-effective perimeter & high security solution that connects direct to the network.

  • Mullion, wall mount and wall mount keypad form factors allow for US and EU compatible mounting options; creating a simpler install process at each door
  • Reader-Controllers are available in two models: Multi-card technology (125 kHz and 13.56 MHz) or a proximity-only version (125 kHz)
  • Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) allows customers to utilize our Pure Mobile application and use their smart phone as their credential
  • Local mode feature allows readers to function without a connection to the network. This results in faster user response times, less network traffic and reduced host system loading
  • Tamper detection via accelerometer senses any type of altering and prevents a security breach with the reader
  • Metal back plate provides additional security, a simple two-piece installation and consistent read range

The RC-04 has been integrated into Pure Access Cloud as well as Open Options.

Complete the installation by choosing the right accessories: 

  • The Advanced Security Module, also known as the ASM or EDK (exterior door kit), is designed to provide an increased level of security to perimeter doors by preventing the lock wires from being in contact with the unsecure side of the door
  • The Magnetic Lock Kit protects your reader controller from in-rush voltages in applications with magnetic door locks
  • To simplify installation, Pure IP™ cables allow pre-wiring to be done in advance.  They are available in 10’ and 25’ lengths
  • Use the RC-03 to RC-04 adapter cable to make upgrading easier. The 12-pin to 8-pin converter will re-orient the wires on the 12-pin pigtail to match the 8-pin pigtail
