Kantech Us P225W26 Proximity Reader 26-bit Wiegand

Product Description

The KANTECH US P225W26 is a proximity card reader designed for access control applications. It operates on the 26-bit Wiegand protocol, the widely adopted standard format for credential data transmission between readers and access control panels. This reader is finished in black and is sold as an individual unit. Security installers and low-voltage electricians typically specify and install this type of device in commercial and light-industrial access control systems. The 26-bit Wiegand output makes it compatible with the broad range of controllers that accept this standard format.

This reader is suited for door-entry access control installations where proximity card or fob credentials are used. Typical applications include interior and exterior door access points in commercial buildings, office environments, and secured facilities. The reader mounts at the door position and communicates credential data back to the access control panel or controller over the Wiegand data lines. It is categorized as a proximity reader, meaning it reads passive RFID credentials without physical contact.

Key Features

• 26-bit Wiegand output protocol for broad controller compatibility
• Proximity-based credential reading — no physical card contact required
• Black housing finish for standard commercial installation aesthetics
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation proximity reader for access control systems accepting 26-bit Wiegand protocol input.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or access control installer. Power down the access control panel and de-energize all associated wiring before connecting or disconnecting the reader. Wiring should comply with applicable local codes and the access control panel manufacturer's wiring guidelines. Verify that the host controller is configured to accept 26-bit Wiegand data format before commissioning.
