ETS RDA-3 Wiegand Card Reader Distribution Amplifier Features
The RDA-3, (formerly known as RDA-1) is an essential component for modern security systems. This Wiegand card reader distribution amplifier effectively manages data transmission from a single Wiegand reader to up to three access control panels.
One of the standout features of the RDA-3 is its ability to monitor LED outputs from data panels. It intelligently indicates status by providing an LED “access granted” signal for valid card reads. Conversely, it displays an “access denied” message if all three panels report invalid attempts.
By incorporating the RDA-3 into your security framework, you ensure efficient data distribution and enhanced control over access management, significantly improving the overall reliability of your security system.
