Anti-Pass Back with Dual Antennas and Dual Wiegand Ports
Our XT-5 RFID Long-Range Reader continues to set the benchmark in modern access control, and we’re pleased to highlight two key capabilities that elevate performance and reduce system complexity: Dual Wiegand ports and support for an external antenna, enabling full anti-pass back functionality.
External Antenna for Extended Performance
The XT-5 comes with an integrated antenna and a dedicated connector for an external antenna. When paired with TagMaster’s high-performance external antenna, you gain maximum read reliability and greater flexibility in how you design your access lanes, all without additional cabling challenges.
Dual Wiegand Ports – Smarter Access Management
Unlike conventional readers with a single output, the XT-5 features two Wiegand ports, allowing clear separation of Entry and Exit data. This gives system administrators precise visibility into vehicle flow and improves operational control.
Anti-Pass Back Made Easy
With one Wiegand port assigned to Entry and the second to Exit, the XT-5 fully supports anti-pass back rules. This ensures that a single tag cannot be reused to enter or leave a site multiple times without proper sequence, strengthening security and preventing credential misuse.
An Efficient and Cost-Effective Installation
Choosing the XT-5 gives integrators and system owners several advantages:
- Cutting Costs: Only one reader and one external antenna is required
- Simplified installation: Reduced wiring and simple set up, since all power and Wiegand connections go to a single reader.
- Anti-Pass Back: Always know if the vehicle is entering or exiting, maximizing control and system reliability.
