Key Features
- IP68 Waterproof Rating – Fully protected against dust and continuous water submersion; ideal for outdoor gates, car parks, and exposed entryways.
- 10,000 User Capacity – Store and manage up to 10,000 proximity card credentials directly on the controller — no software required.
- Wiegand 26/34 Interface – Compatible with a wide range of third-party EM/IC card readers and existing access control infrastructure.
- 125 kHz RFID Technology – Reads EM/IC proximity cards and key fobs at a distance of 3–8 cm for quick, contactless access.
- Standalone Operation – Functions independently without a PC or network connection; add or delete users directly using master cards.
- Adjustable Door Open Time – Set lock release duration anywhere from 0–99 seconds to match your specific door hardware.
- Fail-Safe / NO & NC Modes – Supports both normally open and normally closed lock configurations for flexible installation.
- Wide Operating Voltage – Runs on DC 12–24V for compatibility with standard access control power supplies.
- Consecutive Card Enrollment – Batch-add sequential user cards quickly without enrolling each card individually.
- Short-Circuit Protection – Output short-circuit protection triggers in ≤100 μS to safeguard connected lock hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the Asia-Teco M3 access controller be used outdoors?
A: Yes. The M3 carries an IP68 waterproof rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust ingress and sustained water exposure. It also operates across an extreme ambient temperature range of -45°C to 60°C, making it well-suited for outdoor gates, car parks, building perimeters, and other exposed locations.
Q: How do I add or remove users on the M3 standalone controller?
A: The M3 supports a simple master-card enrollment system. You can designate a master add card and a master delete card to enroll or remove individual user cards without needing a PC or software. It also supports batch enrollment of consecutive card numbers for quick large-scale setup.
Q: What types of cards and readers are compatible with this RFID access controller?
A: The M3 reads standard 125 kHz EM/IC proximity cards and key fobs. It also supports a Wiegand 26/34 output interface, which means it can function as a standalone reader or connect to external EM/IC WG26/34-compatible readers for extended-range or multi-door setups.
Q: What lock types can I connect to the M3 access control system?
A: The M3 supports both Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) lock configurations with a lock output of up to 3 A. It is compatible with electric strikes, electromagnetic locks, and other standard door hardware. The door release time is fully adjustable from 0 to 99 seconds.
Q: What is the Wiegand 26/34 interface and why does it matter?
A: Wiegand 26 and Wiegand 34 are industry-standard communication protocols used by the vast majority of RFID card readers and access control panels. A Wiegand-compatible controller like the M3 integrates seamlessly with existing security infrastructure, third-party readers, and multi-door access control systems, giving you maximum flexibility in your setup.
