The name you can trust in Time Attendance and Access Control

T1481 Smart Card Scanners

The T1481 range of high speed smart card scanners use well-proven and reliable RF (Radio Frequency) reading technology to operate your time and attendance and access control systems.

Our smart card scanners gives a consistent read range, which is unaffected by most external conditions and is operated by contact less smart cards or key fobs.

The preformed scanner case is available in a range of colors. A choice of beige, grey, or black is for general use. A red scanner is available for fire roll call, and a yellow scanner can be used for barrier control.

Approximate Dimensions

• Height: 93mm
• Width: 93mm
• Depth: 18mm (from the wall to the front of the scanner when mounted)

From a simple network consisting of a single clocking in machine, your time and attendance or access control network can be easily expanded to incorporate additional time clocks and other network devices such as smart card readers and door releases.

The T1481 smart card scanner can only be used with an installed Tensor time and attendance or access control system operating across a cable or Ethernet network.

How Smart Card Scanners Work

Each scanner transmits a 125 KHz frequency field (the electromagnetic field), which is picked up by an aerial in your smart card or key fob. The smart card reader has two read bands within this field; an inner and outer band, and these are controlled and rapidly oscillated by the card reader's on-board microprocessor.

The microchip within the smart card or key fob is a passive device which holds a unique factory encoded ID number that cannot be duplicated, making it very secure indeed. As a card or fob enters the smart card reader's electromagnetic field, it is automatically activated by the field's energy.
