Aiphone AC-BT-M Bluetooth Mullion Reader

Product Description

The AIPHONE AC-BT-M is a Bluetooth-enabled mullion-style credential reader designed for access control applications. Mullion readers are slim-profile units engineered to mount on door frame mullions or narrow stiles where a standard-format reader would not fit. This unit uses Bluetooth communication to authenticate mobile credentials, making it suited for modern access control deployments where smartphone-based entry is required. It is typically installed by licensed low-voltage or access control technicians as part of a broader door access system.

The AC-BT-M is intended for use in commercial and light-industrial access control installations. Its mullion form factor makes it a practical fit for interior and exterior doors where mounting space is limited, such as vestibule entries, stairwell doors, and office suite entrances. The Bluetooth capability supports mobile credential readers commonly deployed in cloud-managed and on-premise access control platforms. Installation is part of a complete door hardware assembly that typically includes an electric strike or magnetic lock, a controller, and a power supply.
