Kaba AD 500

Kaba Access Control AD 500
Kaba AD 500

The Kaba AD 500 provides the interface between all access point readers and hardware, including door frame contacts, request to exit button, and door strikes. Each Door Unit supports two reader connections, including multiple door modes such as a single door secured exit or two individual doors using a “Request for Exit” configuration.

Via the AM300, from one to four Door Units can be utilized in one system configuration and accommodate up to eight readers. The AD500 is compatible with standard access control readers using an RS485 or Wiegand data connection. When implemented with optional OC8/IC8 extension module(s) with Door Unit(s), a single reader allows users to selectively open specific access points (up to 24), eliminating Fingerprint Keys or Wiegand readers at every access point. This alternative configuration is ideal in retail, healthcare, and banking facilities where users need to open a specific display case, cabinet, drawer, safe, or server cabinet.

The Kaba AD 500 is suited for environments that require enhanced security at access points. Installed at a tamper-proof location and physically separated from the main Access Manager controller, the AD500 accommodates a wide range of door combinations and components, including motor locks and automatic doors.
