It supports two TTL reader ports or a single RS-485 reader interface capable of connecting up to two readers for flexible deployment. The platform communicates over Ethernet using Power over Ethernet (PoE) or a local 12 VDC power source, enabling easy integration into modern networked security infrastructures. Designed for professional access control installations, it supports alarm inputs, reader communication, and device signaling for secure door access management. Key Features: Single Door Access Control: Designed to manage and monitor one controlled door opening within an access control system. Dual Reader Support: Provides two TTL reader ports or a single RS-485 interface capable of supporting two readers. Power over Ethernet Capability: Supports PoE with optional local 12 VDC power supply for flexible installation. RS-485 Communication Interface: Enables long-distance reader communication up to 2000 ft. Integrated Reader Signaling: Provides LED and buzzer outputs for credential feedback and user notification. Alarm Input Support: Allows integration with door contacts, sensors, or alarm monitoring circuits. Compact Controller Design: Small footprint suitable for mounting within control enclosures or equipment cabinets. Wide Operating Environment Range: Designed to operate reliably in typical commercial security installations. The EP1501 delivers the reliability and precision required for secure door access control and credential reader integration.
