Card Reader SATEL OP-KT-1 — proximity card interface module

SATEL OP-KT-1 — proximity card interface module is a compact reader module intended for integration with access control and alarm systems. It reads contactless proximity cards and supplies a user identification interface for compatible SATEL devices. The module supports straightforward connection to control panels and door entry controllers to enable card-based access management and authentication for alarm systems.

Advantages

The module offers simple integration with SATEL control panels and door controllers, a compact form factor suitable for flush- or surface-mounted installations, and reliable reading of contactless proximity cards. As an interface module, it reduces installation complexity by providing standard signalling compatible with SATEL equipment and helps centralize user credential management within existing security setups.

Suitable for

• Controlled door entry in small and medium commercial or residential buildings
• User authentication for alarm panels and security systems
• Integration into SATEL access control setups where proximity card credentials are used

Key specifications

• Contactless proximity card reader functionality for standard 125 kHz / compatible proximity cards
• Module interface designed for connection to SATEL control panels and compatible access controllers
• Compact module dimensions suitable for mountings behind panels or inside housings
• Low-power operation suitable for continuous readiness in access control applications
• Signal output for card data transmission and required control lines for integration

How to use

Install the SATEL OP-KT-1 module according to the site plan and the SATEL device wiring diagram. Mount the reader module in the intended enclosure or behind an access point surface, then connect the interface wiring to the compatible SATEL control panel or access controller following polarity and signal line instructions. After physical connection, register proximity cards in the control panel or management software and verify that card readings are correctly received and processed by the host system.

Usage recommendations

Place the module in a dry, protected location and avoid exposure to direct weather unless installed in a weatherproof enclosure. Use the manufacturer’s wiring diagrams and configure the host SATEL device to recognize and manage card IDs. Regularly test card reading and user registration after installation or system changes.
