Off-Line Wall Reader
Off-line readers are stand-alone units that do not require
connections to a central computer. To operate, the off-
line readers require a 12 volt DC power supply which is
supplied by Onity. They are used to control an electrical
locking device, such as an electric strike, magnetic
lock, automatic door and gate operator. In all other
regards, the off-line reader behaves like the stand-alone
lock.
The off-line readers are typically configured to allow
access to multiple guest keys and Staff Card holders.
