An access point to secure, users to manage and no need for remote supervision: for many installations, stand alone access control is the most appropriate solution.
With the PASS range, Sewosy offers keypads and proximity readers designed to manage access permissions locally. Users identify themselves using a code or a badge, after which the device directly controls the unlocking of the door.
A simple and reliable approach, designed for professionals looking for an effective solution without making the installation unnecessarily complex.
PASS means stand alone access control without compromise.
Stand Alone Access Control: Local and Controlled Management
Unlike a centralised system, stand alone access control does not rely on a management unit shared by several doors. Users are registered directly in the keypad or reader installed near the access point.
This architecture is particularly suitable for installations with a single door or a limited number of access points, such as a technical room, stockroom, workshop, office, secondary entrance, communal area, gate or garage door.
The operating principle is simple:
- the user enters their code or presents their badge;
- the device checks their authorisation;
- the integrated relay controls the locking equipment;
- the access point is released for the programmed period.
The keypad can therefore be connected to an electric strike, an electromagnetic handle or another locking device compatible with the installation.
PASS: A Range Designed to Make Access Easier
The name PASS naturally evokes the act of passing through an access point. Access remains smooth for authorised users while staying protected against unwanted entry.
The range was developed with a clear objective: to offer installers devices that are easy to integrate while offering users an intuitive identification method for everyday use.
Depending on the level of convenience required and the way the site operates, access can be controlled using:
- a confidential code;
- a proximity badge;
- either a code or a badge on the same device.
This variety makes it possible to adapt the solution to the building’s actual operating requirements rather than imposing a single technology.
Code or Badge: Which Identification Method Should You Choose?
A Code Keypad to Reduce the Management of Physical Credentials
A code keypad is suitable for installations where issuing badges is not necessary. Users simply memorise their identifier to access the protected area.
This solution is particularly suitable for access points used by a small team or for areas where access permissions rarely change.
The K1000 meets this requirement by providing identification exclusively by code, with a wired connection.
A Badge to Make Frequent Access Smoother
A proximity reader provides greater convenience when users enter the building frequently. They simply present their badge in front of the reader to be identified.
One badge = one memory slot = one user. Each badge is unique and assigned to an individual user.
The PASS range includes several models combining badge and keypad identification:
- KR1000 and KRN1000: code and EM 125 kHz badge, with a wired connection;
- KRB1000 and KRB1000-N: code and EM 125 kHz badge, with a terminal block connection;
- KR1000-M: code and badge using Mifare 13.56 MHz technology.
This variety makes it easier to integrate the solution into either an existing installation or a new project.
Installation Designed with Installers in Mind
In the field, the relevance of an access control solution does not depend solely on its functions. Connection speed, ease of programming and clarity of use are equally important.
The devices in the PASS range have been designed to eliminate unnecessary steps. Configuration is carried out directly on the device, without the need to install dedicated software.
Depending on the model, various functions allow the keypad to be adapted to the site environment:
- registering several badges in succession, for keypads equipped with proximity readers;
- activating or deactivating the buzzer;
- activating or deactivating the keypad backlighting;
- single-use code function.
The choice between a wired connection and a terminal block connection also allows installers to select the solution best suited to their installation methods and the configuration of the project.
A Robust Solution, Right Down to Its Design
Installed close to the door, an access control keypad must blend into its environment over the long term.
The PASS range offers different formats and finishes to meet both technical constraints and aesthetic requirements. With its black INTOM® finish, the KRB1000-N model is particularly well suited to contemporary door frames or equipment requiring a more discreet appearance.
Beyond appearance, the design must also make the device easier to use, with clearly identifiable keys and an intuitive badge presentation area.
When Should You Choose Stand Alone Access Control?
PASS is particularly suitable when a specific access point needs to be secured without deploying a complete infrastructure.
The range can notably be used for:
- an office door;
- an IT or technical room;
- a stockroom;
- a workshop;
- a staff-only area;
- a secondary entrance;
- a door leading to communal areas;
- a gate or independent access point.
How to Choose Your PASS Stand Alone Keypad
Before selecting a model, several criteria should be considered.
Identification Method
A code reduces the need to manage physical credentials. A badge makes frequent access smoother and allows an individual identifier to be removed when the user is no longer authorised.
Reading Technology
EM 125 kHz models meet common proximity identification requirements. The Mifare 13.56 MHz model is suitable for projects already built around this technology.
Connection Type
The choice between pre-wired cables and a terminal block depends on the installation environment, cable routing and the installer’s preferences.
Architectural Environment
The keypad’s format, finish and colour should be consistent with the door frame and the overall appearance of the building. A black finish can, for example, provide a more harmonious integration with dark profiles.
Associated Locking Equipment
The keypad must be integrated into a complete solution comprising a locking device, a suitable power supply and, depending on the project, additional control or exit devices.
Single-Use Codes for Temporary Access
The single-use code function can create up to six temporary codes, which are automatically deleted after their first use.
It is particularly suitable for granting temporary access to a service provider, delivery driver, visitor or maintenance team without giving them a permanent code.
The authorisation disappears as soon as the person has passed through the access point, simplifying access management while providing greater control.
This function is available across the entire PASS range, with the exception of the KR1000-M.
PASS: Stand Alone Access Control Serving Protection
With PASS, Sewosy offers a range of stand alone access control devices designed to meet a variety of requirements, from a simple code keypad to a Mifare proximity reader.
Every model shares the same objective: to provide fast identification, control door opening effectively and simplify the installer’s work.
Because securing an access point should not necessarily make a project more complex, PASS brings all the essential functions directly to the door.
A protected access point. Intuitive operation. Stand alone management.
