Centrios Smart Reader & Expansion Unit – Versatile Electrified Access Control

The Centrios Smart Reader is the ultimate solution for securing non-standard openings. Designed to manage access for glass doors, perimeter gates, and garage entries, this device acts as both a high-security reader and a controller in one sleek, commercial-grade unit. It integrates seamlessly with the Centrios platform, providing a unified access experience across your entire facility.

Key Features & Performance

• Universal Opening Control: Securely manage any opening that requires electrified hardware, such as electric strikes, magnetic locks, or automatic door operators.

• Three-Way Access: Offer your team maximum flexibility with three secure entry methods: the Centrios mobile app, high-security physical cards/fobs, or PIN code entry via the integrated capacitive keypad.

• Dual-Relay Functionality: Features two onboard relays—one dedicated to the electronic lock and a second specifically designed to trigger an auto-operator with a configurable delay for ADA compliance and ease of entry.

• Ruggedized for the Elements: Built to perform in the harshest environments, the Smart Reader is rated for temperatures ranging from -40°F to 122°F, making it ideal for exterior gates and parking garage entrances.

• Intelligent Inputs: Equipped with two dedicated inputs to support Door Position Switches (DPS) and Request-to-Exit (REX) sensors, giving you full visibility into the status of your doors.

Technical Specifications

• Power: Operates on 12-24 VDC; designed for hardwired reliability in professional installations.

• Mounting: Versatile design allows for mounting directly to narrow stile frames, masonry walls, or standard electrical J-boxes (trim plate included).

• Expansion Capabilities: Pair with the optional Expansion Unit to move wiring terminations to the secure side of the door and add physical "Passage Mode" buttons with visual status indicators.

• Safety Standards: FCC/IC Certified and ADA compliant to meet modern commercial building requirements.
