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.

Benefits

  • Compact design allows it to be fitted in small spaces
  • Can be configured for one or two doors
  • Can be used with most reader technologies thereby supporting a wide range of applications
  • Capacity to handle up to 65,000 cards with a wide range of access rights
  • Comprehensive range of access control features supports added security and flexibility
  • Block validation and voiding for quick and easy card management
  • Fast and simple card verification
  • Can be used with a card capture reader
  • Variable output relay timing to match most applications
  • Prevents card misuse
  • Can be readily incorporated into the Norpass3 software to reduce the cost of expansion

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many doors can the CRC200+ control? Frequently Asked Questions

The CRC200+ supports two independent reader interfaces, allowing it to control access through two separate doors, barriers, turnstiles, or bollards from a single unit.

What reader technologies are compatible with the CRC200+? Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Can the CRC200+ be upgraded to a networked system? Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Does the CRC200+ support anti-passback? Frequently Asked Questions

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.

What is the maximum user capacity? Frequently Asked Questions
