Description
The AWID KP-6840 Sentinel-Prox™ combines a high-performance proximity reader with an integrated keypad, providing an ideal solution for access control applications that require dual-factor authentication. Designed for commercial, institutional, and high-security environments, the KP-6840 allows users to gain access using a proximity credential, PIN code, or a combination of both for enhanced security.
Featuring a read range of 6 to 8 inches, the KP-6840 supports industry-standard 125 kHz proximity credentials while delivering flexible keypad output options, including 4-bit burst, 8-bit burst, and 26-bit Wiegand formats. Its attractive switch plate design mounts easily to a standard single-gang electrical box or directly to interior and exterior wall surfaces.
Built with epoxy-potted electronics for long-term durability, the KP-6840 includes programmable red or green LED indicators, an integrated piezo sounder, and rugged weather-resistant construction. The result is a reliable and professional-grade access control reader suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.
