Akuvox ACR-CRM11 Metal Wiegand Card Reader with Keypad

Akuvox ACR-CRM11 Metal Wiegand Card Reader with Keypad

The Akuvox ACR-CRM11 is a slim, all-metal access control reader that combines dual-frequency RFID card reading with a physical numeric keypad in a single vandal- and weather-resistant unit. Built with an aluminum front panel and rated to IP65, it is equally suited to exposed outdoor entry points and busy indoor doorways. The reader communicates over the industry-standard Wiegand protocol, so it can be wired into an existing Akuvox access control terminal or connected to most third-party Wiegand-based access panels already in use across commercial, industrial, and residential sites.

Key Features

• Dual-frequency RFID support for 125KHz ID cards as well as 13.56MHz S50, S70, CPU, and Desfire card types
• Integrated numeric keypad for PIN-code entry as a standalone credential or alongside a card for two-factor security
• Wiegand output for straightforward integration with Akuvox door controllers and most third-party access control systems
• IP65-rated, all-metal housing with an aluminum front panel for durability in outdoor and high-traffic locations
• Compact, slimline profile that suits narrow door frames, gates, and mounting posts
• Audible and visual feedback via built-in buzzer and status LED to confirm valid or denied access attempts
• Wide operating temperature range suitable for harsh Australian outdoor climates
• ESD-protected circuitry to help maintain reliable operation in exposed installations

Reliable Access Control for Doors, Gates and Secure Areas

The ACR-CRM11 is designed for installers who need a tough, weatherproof reader that still offers flexible credential options. It is a practical fit for apartment and office building entries, gated communities, warehouses, plant rooms, and any door where both card and PIN-based access are required. Because it speaks standard Wiegand, it slots easily into new Akuvox-based intercom and access systems or into existing third-party controllers, making it a convenient upgrade path for sites moving away from older or damaged readers.
