SIFER Keypad Card Reader

994725

The SIFER Keypad is a combined IP67 rated Keypad and Smart Card reader that allows dual credential Card & PIN high security access control. (PIN only or Card only is also supported)


The SIFER Keypad is a multi-drop RS-485 device that employs 128 bit AES encryption from the card/keypad through to the door module, providing a far superior level of security than that of traditional Wiegand based keypads & card readers.


SIFER Keypads utilise the Mifare DESFire© EV1/EV2/EV3 card format. As SIFER Keypads utilise a superset of the OSDP protocol, the keypads may also be deployed on any system capable of using OSDP. SIFER Keypads are connected to the RS-485 reader port for full Reader-In and Reader-Out operation of various Inner Range products as below.


  • Integriti Access Controller (IAC) - Up to 16 on-board

  • Intelligent LAN Access Module (ILAM) - Up to 16 Keypads/Readers

  • Standard LAN Access Module (SLAM) - Up to 4 Keypads/Readers

  • Inception Controller - Up to 8 on-board

SIFER Keypads are IP67 rated and available with site-specific encryption keys.


Multi-Format Version

A SIFER Multi-Format Keypad/Card reader is also available and offers an identical set of features to the Standard SIFER Keypad with additional support for reading the CSN of third party 13.56 Mhz credentials.
