MS Series Readers
As with all Keri’s Proximity Readers, they are designed to blend aesthetics, read range
performance, and small package size with an extremely thin profile into a product that is
priced significantly less than competing proximity readers. The readers can be used with
the PXL range of controllers and NXT when using the NXT Reader Interface module.
The smallest readers in the series are the MS-3000 MicroStar™ Reader and the MS-
5000 MiniStar™ Reader.
The MS-3000 MicroStar™ Reader measures just 3.4" long x 1.4" wide x 0.38" thick
(86mm x 36mm x 10mm) thick, and is designed to mount on a metal window or door
frame (mullion) or directly on a wall. Read range is up to 4" (10cm).
The MS-4000 ShootingStar™ Reader is a very tough reader designed for high crime
areas. It has a beveled stainless steel housing so it cannot be pried from its mounting
place, has a front surface that can withstand a bullet from a .357 or 9mm handgun, and is
flame resistant. In addition to the normal front mounting holes, it also has rear "blind"
mounting screw holes for extra security. Measures 5.25 x 2.0 x 0.75 inches (134 x 51 x
19mm). Lifetime warranty.
The MS-5000 MiniStar™ Reader measures just 4.3” long x 3.0” wide x 0.38” thick
(109mm x 76mm x 10mm), with a read range of up to 7” (18cm). This reader is designed
to mount on a standard USA single gang box and can be mounted on a single gang elec-
trical box or flat on a wall. If the reader is mounted using a metal electrical junction box
with the thickness of the wall material separating the reader from the box, read range will
be reduced.
The MS-7000 SuperStar™ Reader measures just 8.5” long x 6” wide x 0.83” thick
(21.6cm x 15.2cm x 2.1cm), with a read range of up to 14” (35cm). This reader is
designed for applications where greater read range adds to the convenience of the sys-
tem, such as parking access or physically challenged access.
The readers are attractively designed with a thin profile and modern appearance and in
black or white. The readers are compatible with all of Keri's proximity card styles as well
as the small, extremely robust Keri Key Tag. Additionally, they can read any Indala ASP
Card or Tag if they are to be used in conjunction with a PXL-500 Controller.
