The P-300 Cascade—part of the Pyramid Series Proximity® line of 125-kHz proximity readers—boasts a read range of up to 5 inches (126 mm). Fully encapsulated in weather- and tamper-resistant epoxy potting, it can be installed with confidence indoors or out. Further, the compact P-300 mounts to flat surfaces including metal mullions, supports today's most popular credential protocols, can be custom branded, and is backed by Farpointe's limited lifetime warranty.
