How to choose tamper-proof & explosion-proof readers

Tamper-proof IP65 readers

Four models, 86 × 86 mm or 93 mm square, raise a tamper alarm if removed from the wall. They are rated IP65 and run from –20 to +65 °C.

  • Card support: each model reads UIDs and encrypted CPU (microprocessor) card content. A site can move from UID-only or 125 kHz cards to anti-copy CPU cards without swapping readers.
  • Frequencies: two models add 125 kHz EM reading. One 93 mm model has a metal mid-frame that limits detuning on metal surfaces.
  • Power and interface: all run on 9–15 V DC and output Wiegand or RS485. Firmware and settings update over RS485.
  • Keypad: each is offered card-only or with a touch keypad.

No IK impact rating is published. On high-abuse doors, add a protective cover and confirm how the tamper event reaches your controller.

TP-110: supplier-reported Ex ia markings

The supplier reports Ex ia IIC T6 Ga for gas and Ex ia IIIC T200 85 °C Da for dust. These are reported marking strings, not verified certification or zone approval. Current records contain no verified ATEX/IECEx certificate, certified system drawing or entity-parameter set.

  • Reader specifications: 125 kHz EM and 13.56 MHz ISO/IEC 14443A/B card support, with Wiegand 34/66 or RS485 output.
  • Housing: a potted 120 × 80 mm metal housing with tamper detection, in card-only and physical-keypad versions.
  • Installation evidence: the supplier's claim that no external barrier is required remains unverified. The accepted equipment documents and complete circuit design must establish the arrangement.

Treat TP-110 as a document-review candidate. Classified-area suitability, certified ambient range and dust-temperature conditions must be verified before project selection. Ordinary tamper-alarm models in this category do not inherit Ex suitability. See the hazardous-area reader selection guide.

Frequently asked questions

Is TP-110 verified as ATEX or IECEx certified?

No verified ATEX or IECEx certificate is available in our current records. The supplier reports Ex ia gas and dust markings, but specific zone suitability and the claimed installation without an external barrier remain unverified.

What does tamper-proof mean on these readers?

The IP65 models raise a tamper alarm when the reader is removed from its mounting, and they read encrypted CPU-card content to resist card copying. No IK impact rating is published, so add a protective cover on high-abuse doors and confirm how the tamper signal reaches your controller.

Can these readers be installed outdoors?

IP65 means dust-tight and protected against water jets, and the IP65 models operate from –20 to +65 °C. They suit sheltered or partly exposed entrances. Avoid positions where water pools on the reader or where it will be pressure-washed.
