The RFID readers and modules of the Palon Compact family support two RFID frequencies (125 kHz / 13.56 MHz), NFC and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technologies. All devices are available with an NXP or LEGIC frontend and support a wide range of interfaces, for instance USB, RS-485 and, optionally, the OSDP protocol. A cost-optimized “light” variant with fewer interfaces and without BLE is also available. Although the readers are general-purpose devices, they are particularly appropriate for time attendance and access control. Depending on the intended application, the readers are available as modules integration into a host device, as panel mount readers with IP65 protection or as in-wall readers with an IP54 protected housing.
