Access Control Card Validation and Capture Station

ACP-CC-RR-FF

'Card Management for People and Vehicle Access Control'

The Access Control Station provides an elegant access control point for people and vehicles entering or leaving a restricted area. It is specifically designed to provide a card capture facility where single-use cards are used, or where it is necessary to capture expired and/or stolen access cards.

PRODUCT FEATURES & BENEFITS

The access control card validation and capture pedestal is fitted with Nortech’s MRC350-NR01 externally rated card capture reader together with a card hopper for the collection of captured cards. The card capture reader can support a wide range of contactless card types by the integration of an appropriate card reader. The retrieval of access cards can be made through a lockable access door that is separate to the maintenance access door.

Optionally, the pedestal can be fitted with an intercom for which there are several options available.

The pedestal height is ideally suited to normal cars and vans as well as pedestrians. For vehicles with a higher driver position, the pedestal can be mounted on a raised plinth.

The main body of the pedestal can be finished in user specific colours.

There is space within the pedestal for the installation of a third-party access control unit.

Professional Credential Management for Vehicle and Pedestrian Entry Points

The Access Control Card Validation and Capture Station provides an elegant, all-in-one solution for premises requiring strict card lifecycle management at vehicle and pedestrian entry points. Corporate headquarters use it at staff car parks to recover cards from departing employees, while visitor car parks deploy it to capture single-use access credentials.

Distribution centres position it at goods-in areas where temporary contractor cards require automatic collection. This freestanding pedestal houses Nortech's MRC350-NR01 externally rated card capture reader, integrated heater, and secure card collection hopper.

The 1200mm height serves standard vehicles and pedestrians, with optional plinth mounting for HGV and lorry access lanes. Facilities managers appreciate the separate lockable card retrieval door for secure credential collection, while the space for third-party control panels enables integration with existing security infrastructure.

Custom RAL colour finishing ensures the pedestal complements site branding and architectural aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions
What card types can the station accept? Frequently Asked Questions

The station supports any ISO proximity or smart card technology via the integrated MRC350-NR01 card capture reader. Cards must conform to ISO/IEC7810 ID-1 standard (85.60 × 53.98mm) with thickness between 0.6mm and 1mm. Third-party reader integration enables compatibility with existing credential formats.

How is power supplied to the pedestal? Frequently Asked Questions

The pedestal operates on 240V AC mains supply, with low voltage adaptors included for the card capture reader and other internal components. The integrated heater maintains reliable operation in cold weather conditions.

Can the pedestal be used for lorries and high-cab vehicles? Frequently Asked Questions

For vehicles with higher driver positions such as lorries or HGVs, the pedestal can be mounted on a concrete plinth raised 995-1000mm. This positions the card slot at an ergonomic height for commercial vehicle operators while maintaining standard height for cars and pedestrians.

What intercom options are available? Frequently Asked Questions

The pedestal supports Aiphone compatible intercom slave units for connection to existing Aiphone master stations, or mounting brackets for Telguard GSM intercoms enabling cellular-based remote communication without wired infrastructure.

Can I integrate my existing access control system? Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the pedestal includes space for installation of a third-party access control unit, or can be fitted with Nortech's CRC200+ control panel. The MRC350-NR01 reader forwards card data to your controller, which then signals capture or return decisions back to the reader mechanism.
