2N Access Unit M
The 2N Access Unit M is the ideal reader for offices. Its controller is built-in and all you need to connect and power the device is a single UTP cable. Thanks to its compact design, you can easily install the unit on a door frame. Choose from several versions – RFID, RFID combined with mobile access via Bluetooth, or RFID with a keypad, which is perfect for projects that require two-factor authentication. Show in 3D

Features & Benefits
-
Slimline designThe reader’s slimline design is ideal for installation on the door frame at the entrance to a meeting room. However, it will come in handy wherever you’re short on space.
-
Fastest mobile accessWith our WaveKey Bluetooth technology, users only need 0.3 of a second to gain access. What’s more, this is the securest method of access on the market.
-
Controller and reader in oneDon’t worry about looking for a place to put the controller plus save on cabling. Our reader has full smart technology built in. In addition, it works without the need to communicate with a server.
-
Perfect for the office or outdoorThe glass front panel will be scratch-free even after five years of daily use. With an IP55 protection coverage, you can install the reader outside. Despite all this, the units remain affordable.
-
Quick installationInstall the reader in 4 minutes. Drill three holes in the frame, feed through the UTP cable, connect the lock and screw it in place. It couldn’t be any quicker.
-
Encrypted two-way communicationThe reader securely communicates with the web interface, with 2N® Access Commander administration software and the 2N® Mobile Key mobile application.
