Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the LIHTNE C30 RFID keypad work without being connected to a computer or access control panel?
A: Yes. The C30 operates as a fully standalone access controller — all programming, user card management, and password configuration are done directly from the built-in keypad. No computer or external software is needed. It can also be used as a Wiegand card reader connected to a third-party access control panel if preferred.
Q: What types of RFID cards are compatible with this keypad?
A: The C30 reads 125 KHz EM-format proximity cards and compatible equivalents. It does not support 13.56 MHz smart cards (e.g., MIFARE). The read range is approximately 5–10 cm for reliable, contactless operation.
Q: Is the C30 keypad truly weatherproof for outdoor installation?
A: Absolutely. The C30 carries an IP65 waterproof rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. Its operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C makes it suitable for outdoor use in most climates year-round.
Q: How many users can be stored on the device, and how do I add or remove cards?
A: The device stores up to 8,000 user cards and 1 master password in onboard memory. Users are added or removed directly via the keypad using the programming menu — no tools, PC, or smartphone app are required. A management card can also be set up for simplified card enrollment.
Q: What electric lock types are compatible with the C30?
A: The C30 features an imported dual-point relay output that supports both active (powered) and passive (unpowered) lock signal modes, making it compatible with electric strikes, magnetic locks (maglocks), and electronic deadbolts running on a 12VDC/2A circuit.
