Kantech Us WLS-A2 Wireless Access Control Dipole Antenna

Product Description

The KANTECH US WLS-A2 is a dipole antenna designed for wireless access control systems. It extends and improves RF signal reception for wireless access control panels and readers, allowing for more reliable communication between system components. Licensed security technicians and low-voltage installers typically deploy this antenna where direct-connect or built-in antenna performance is insufficient. The WLS-A2 is sold as a single unit and is compatible with the WLS-5401 wireless access control platform.

The WLS-A2 is suited for commercial and residential access control installations where wireless communication between panels, readers, or credential devices requires a dedicated external antenna. It is particularly useful in installations with physical obstructions, longer cable runs, or dense construction materials that attenuate wireless signals. Installers use it to improve system reliability without relocating hardware.

Key Features

• Dipole antenna design for improved omnidirectional RF signal coverage
• Compatible with the WLS-5401 wireless access control system
• Single-unit quantity per package for straightforward procurement
• Designed to extend wireless communication range in access control applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with the KANTECH US WLS-5401 wireless access control system. Verify antenna connector type and frequency band against your specific panel or reader before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician in accordance with applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines. Power down the access control panel before disconnecting or connecting antenna leads. Mount the antenna away from large metal surfaces and other RF-emitting devices to minimize interference. Do not exceed the antenna connector's rated mating cycles to avoid degrading the RF connection over time.
