RPP2-56 Two-stage Noise
Tolerant (NT) Reader
Figure 1. APOGEE Security Technologies’
two-stage noise tolerant reader.
Description
The RPP2-56 Noise Tolerant (NT) Reader provides a
significant improvement in long range reading
consistency. New signal processing techniques
incorporated in this passive proximity card reader
provides a high tolerance to burst and other transient
types of ambient RF interference. This makes the
RPP2-56 reader ideal for installations incorporating
parking control, or where special consideration is
needed to facilitate access for the physically
challenged.
The RPP2-56 NT reader packages all of the
electronics in one rugged, attractive and easy-to-
install housing. The broad selection of APOGEE
Security Technology System (ASTS) proximity
readers allows the use of one card for all your access
control requirements.

Extended Read Range
The RPP2-56 NT reader provides up to 30" (76cm) of
consistent read range.
Mounting
Mount reader on non-metallic surfaces for optimal
read range performance.
Audiovisual Indication
When a proximity card is presented to the reader, the
red LED flashes green and the beeper sounds. The
multicolor LED and beeper can be controlled locally
or by the system.
Diagnostics
On reader power-up, an internal self-test routine
checks and verifies the setup configuration,
determines the internal or external control of the LED
and beeper, and initializes the reader operation.
