The ZKTeco EP10C is an all-weather, multi-technology smart reader designed for robust access control solutions. Supporting over 100 RFID card types, it operates across multiple frequencies, including 125 kHz, 13.56 MHz, and 2.4 GHz Bluetooth, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of credentials. Users can conveniently access secured areas by presenting their smartphones to the reader, utilizing both NFC and Bluetooth communication methods. This flexibility extends mobile access functions to almost all smartphone users. The device’s compact mullion mount design allows for seamless installation on door frames or flat surfaces, with optional single-gang box compatibility to accommodate various installation environments.
Engineered for durability, the EP10C boasts IP68-rated water and dustproof protection, making it suitable for harsh outdoor conditions. Its IK10 vandal-proof certification ensures resilience against physical tampering and malicious attacks. The reader operates efficiently within a temperature range of -30°C to 70°C (-22°F to 158°F), maintaining performance in extreme weather scenarios. Additionally, it meets the UL94-V0 flammability standard, ensuring that burning combustion is not sustained for more than 10 seconds after applying a controlled flame.
Security is a paramount feature of the EP10C, incorporating advanced cybersecurity measures to protect data transmission. It supports the Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) for secure communication between the control panel and reader, utilizing AES128 end-to-end encryption to safeguard data integrity. Certified crypto chips with EAL5+ standards are employed for secure data storage, enhancing the overall security architecture. Visual and audio indicators, configurable via the ‘Armatura Connect’ mobile app, provide user feedback during operation. The reader’s magnetic tamper detection system adds an extra layer of security by alerting administrators to unauthorized access attempts.
