Schlage MT11-485 Blk Mullion Smart Card Reader RS-485

Product Description

The SCHLAGE MT11-485 BLK is a mullion-mount smart card reader designed for access control applications. It supports both RS-485 and Wiegand output protocols, giving installers flexibility when integrating with a wide range of access control panels and systems. The unit ships in a black finish, suited for installations where aesthetics and a low-profile form factor are required. This reader is sold individually and is typically installed by licensed security or low-voltage technicians on commercial door frames, mullions, and similar mounting surfaces.

The MT11-485 BLK is intended for commercial access control installations where mullion-style readers are preferred for their narrow profile. It fits standard mullion mounting locations on door frames and glass entry systems. Its dual-protocol support makes it adaptable to both legacy Wiegand-based access control infrastructures and newer RS-485 networked configurations, reducing the need for additional interface hardware during system upgrades or new installations.

Key Features

• Mullion form factor for low-profile mounting on door frames and narrow surfaces
• RS-485 output protocol support for networked access control systems
• Wiegand output protocol support for compatibility with legacy and current access control panels
• Black finish for clean, unobtrusive appearance in commercial environments
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation smart reader for commercial access control systems supporting RS-485 or Wiegand input protocols.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NEC guidelines. Power down the access control panel before wiring the reader to prevent damage to the panel or reader circuitry. Confirm the panel's input protocol setting matches the reader output mode selected before commissioning. Follow the manufacturer's wiring documentation for proper termination of RS-485 or Wiegand connections.
