AWID’s KP-6840 Proximity Card and Keypad Reader is a switchplate-type reader combined with a 12-key numeric Keypad, in a unit that fits on a single-gang box. Read range with cards is up to 8 inches. The keypad may be used for PIN entry, programming a controller, enrolling card codes, and general data entry.

The KP-6840 contains (a) a 3-color LED to indicate successful card read and access-granted, (b) a beeper for attention and alarm, and (c) a “hold” circuit to delay data transmission. LED and beeper are controlled by the reader itself. All three functions can be controlled externally by the host system.
