S3040

Portable hand-held card reader

The S3040 is a lightweight and rugged hand-held portable card reader for use with the CEM AC2000 access control system. It can be used for ID card validation at temporary entrances or remote sites which have no power, and can be used as a mobile device for random checks within pre-defined zones.

A large full colour TFT touch screen provides quick and easy navigation and also provides information about card validity, including cardholder details (cardholder photograph, name, job title and card validity). The cardholder image display on the S3040 reader provides visual verification which is ideal for mustering support and minimizing the threat of card sharing.

Up to 200,000 card ID’s can be held in the reader’s database for differentiation between authorised and unauthorised personnel and up to 8,000 offline card swipe transactions can also be stored for on-line transmission to the AC2000 system. Card technologies supported include 125kHz HID Proximity, MiFare or DESFire CSN, HID iClass/iClass SE, PicoPass Sector and CEM DESFire.

sPass DESFire Smart Card Reader

Contactless, encrypted smart card reader

A cost effective contactless smart card reader with powerful security and encryption features. The sPass reader utilizes 128bit AES encryption, 3DES (Triple DES) encryption and highly secure DESFire technology. It is designed to be connected to the CEM DCM 350 or eDCM 380 (Door Controller) with encrypted RS485 serial communications between the sPass reader and the controller.

Combined as one solution, the sPass reader and DCM 350 or DCM 380 controller range offers a cost effective solution which combats against the threats of card cloning and Wiegand controller signal cloning.

The sPass reader is designed for use with CEM’s pre-personalized DESFire smart card. With a pre-personalized card memory, the CEM DESFire smart card holds up to 28 different security applications. Using 3DES or AES 128 bit encryption, memory keys are securely stored on the DESFire smart card. No keys permanently reside within the sPass reader, with each card having uniquely encrypted keys for high levels of security.
