CRC200+ Standalone Door Controller
CRC200+
'2-Door Access - Standalone or Online'
Extremely versatile standalone 2-door/2-reader controller that can also manage up to 65,000 users and supports both Clock & Data and Wiegand interface formats
PRODUCT FEATURES & BENEFITS
The compact CRC200+ is suitable for controlling access through doors, barriers, rising bollards, turnstiles, etc., by validating cards, key fobs, vehicle tags, PINs, etc. It is easily programmed with the full keypad and LCD. The unit supports 2 readers, on either 1 or 2 doors.
The CRC200+ is compatible with most reader types including proximity, smart card, magnetic stripe and long range readers. It supports a card capture facility when used with a Nortech card capture reader.
By using a Nortech CRC200+ 1 or 2 door controller, you can be sure you will have peace of mind that you are able to control access to your premises.

Versatile Two-Door Control for Growing Commercial Premises
The CRC200+ delivers enterprise-grade access control flexibility in a compact wall-mounted enclosure, making it the go-to solution for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and multi-tenant sites that need to secure two entry points from a single controller.
Typical deployments include warehouse loading bays with separate pedestrian and vehicle doors, office buildings with front and rear entrances, educational facilities controlling classroom wings, and retail environments separating staff areas from public zones.
Its compatibility with proximity, smart card, magnetic stripe, and long-range readers means one controller can unify diverse credential technologies across your site. When operational demands increase, the CRC200+ transitions effortlessly from standalone mode to a fully managed Norpass3 network via RS485 communication. This allows facilities to start with cost-effective local control and scale to centralised user management, real-time event logging, and advanced features like PIN-and-proximity verification—all without swapping out door hardware.
The built-in LCD and keypad simplify on-site programming, while anti-passback control prevents credential sharing at high-security perimeters.
High Capacity
Manages up to 65,000 sequential credentials for large-scale commercial deployments.
Dual Door
Controls two independent entry points with separate reader, relay, and monitoring inputs.
Multi-Technology
Compatible with proximity, smart card, magnetic stripe, and long-range reader formats.
Network Ready
RS485 interface connects up to 32 controllers per port for seamless Norpass3 integration.
The CRC200+ supports two independent reader interfaces, allowing it to control access through two separate doors, barriers, turnstiles, or bollards from a single unit.
The controller accepts Clock & Data (ABA Track 2) and Wiegand formats, making it compatible with Nortech proximity readers, smart card readers, magnetic stripe readers, and long-range vehicle identification readers.
Yes. The RS485 management interface allows you to connect the CRC200+ to Norpass3 Access Control Management Software, enabling centralised user management, event logging, and advanced features like PIN-and-proximity authentication.
Yes. The controller provides local anti-passback control to prevent users from passing their credential back to others, enhancing security at perimeter doors and turnstiles.
In sequential mode the CRC200+ handles up to 65,000 card numbers with 1,700 stored events. In random mode it supports 8,000 cards with 1,300 events, accommodating most commercial and industrial sites.
