The Sentry Card Reader is designed for use in hazardous or harsh environments, with versions able to read a range of different card technologies. The Sentry is Intrinsically Safe (IS) and suitable for use in the most hazardous of areas, including those classified as Zone 0 (Div.1) with a constant risk of an explosive atmosphere. Sentry models are available to read a range of different card technologies – including HID and EM4001 (or compatible) Proximity cards and the Wiegand swipe card and now supports Mifare and iCode.

Proximity cards: A non-contact technology where a card is read by passing it within a few centimetres of a radio frequency window on the front of the Sentry. With proximity technology the identification media can take a number of different formats, including a key fob device as an alternative to the standard Proximity card. Currently HID and EM4001 (or compatible) devices can be read with a Sentry. Wiegand cards: A high security swipe card where data is encoded using wires embedded within the card during manufacture. Card data cannot be changed or reprogrammed. Wiegand cards are robust and reliable.
