CDVI Americas Atrium High Security 2-Door Controller W/ 2 K1 Readers & DESFire EV2 Credentials

The A22K1 is the perfect kit for high-security projects. Our A22K controller, 2 mullion KRYPTO readers and 25 DESFire EV2 credentials ensure end-to-end encryption for system wide security.

KRYPTO is the easiest solution to manage DESFire® EV2/EV3 smart credentials on the market making worries of card cloning a thing of the past. The auto restore of encryption keys upon power failure ensures an effortless system start up and management.

Additionally, the A22K can easily be converted to an Elevator Controller (A22KEC), Schlage Door Handle Controller (ADH2K), or Aperio Door Handle Controller (A2PK) as needed. ATRIUM’s efficiency will simplify your life.

CDVI A22K1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What comes in the CDVI Atrium A22K1 kit, and do I need to buy readers separately?
The A22K1 kit ships complete for two openings: one A22K controller, two K1 mullion KRYPTO readers, and 25 TAG-EV2 DESFire credentials, with ATRIUM software included. Readers and starter credentials are in the box, so what you still supply per door is the lock hardware itself, power for the locks, and any request-to-exit or door position devices your job calls for.
2) How many doors will the CDVI A22K controller run?
Two. The A22K is a two-door controller with two relays, one per opening, which is why the kit pairs it with two K1 readers. For a third and fourth door you add another controller rather than expanding this one.
3) Will the K1 readers fit on an aluminum storefront mullion?
Yes, the K1 readers supplied in the A22K1 kit are mullion readers, so they are sized for the narrow face of an aluminum storefront frame or door stile rather than a wide single-gang wall plate. That is the reader form factor glass front and storefront installers usually need.
4) Is the CDVI A22K1 secure against card cloning, or is it another 125 kHz prox system?
This is a smart card system, not prox. The K1 KRYPTO readers and the included TAG-EV2 credentials run MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3 with end-to-end encryption between credential, reader and controller, which is what stops the copy-at-the-kiosk cloning that plagues legacy 125 kHz prox cards. CDVI rates the security level as high.
5) Does the CDVI Atrium A22K support mobile credentials or phone unlock?
No. The A22K1 kit is card and fob only, with no Bluetooth, so users present a DESFire EV2 credential rather than a phone. If mobile unlock is a requirement on your job, look at a mobile-enabled controller-reader such as the Schlage Electronics CTE ENGAGE single door controller with its mobile-enabled multi-technology reader.
6) What is the difference between the CDVI Atrium A22K1 kit and the A22KITSTB kit?
Both are two-door Atrium kits built around a controller with readers, so either one covers a two-opening job on Atrium software. The A22K1 pairs the A22K controller with two K1 mullion KRYPTO readers and 25 TAG-EV2 credentials running MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3 with end-to-end encryption. The A22KITSTB is built as an A22 controller with two STARPB readers and 15 credentials. If the security requirement on the job calls for DESFire EV2 encrypted credentials, the A22K1 is the kit that carries them; if the site is standardizing on STARPB readers, the A22KITSTB matches that reader.
7) I only need to control one door - is there an alternative to a two-door CDVI Atrium kit?
For a single opening, the Schlage Electronics CTE ENGAGE single door controller with a mobile-enabled multi-technology reader is the one-door equivalent, connecting over a direct RS-485 line. The CDVI Atrium A22K1 is built for two doors, with two relays and a controller sized for that pair, so on a one-door job the second relay and second K1 reader go unused. Where the plan already has a second opening coming, the A22K1 covers both from one controller.
8) We want mobile credentials on the door - will the CDVI Atrium A22K1 do that?
The A22K1 is a smart card system: the K1 readers run MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3 credentials and the kit ships with 25 TAG-EV2 cards, with no Bluetooth in the readers. If phone-based credentials are the requirement, the Schlage Electronics CTE ENGAGE controller uses a mobile-enabled multi-technology reader for that purpose. Choose the A22K1 where the site is issuing encrypted DESFire cards and wants the anti-cloning protection those credentials provide.
9) How many cardholders can the CDVI Atrium A22K system hold?
10,000 users with the ATRIUM software. For a multi-tenant building or a campus with rolling staff and contractor badges, that headroom is the number to plan against, and the software comes with the kit rather than as a separate license purchase.
10) What power does the CDVI A22K controller need?
The A22K runs off a 120 V supply, so it needs line power at the controller location, typically a dedicated circuit into the enclosure in the electrical or IT room. Lock power for the strikes or maglocks at each opening is separate from that and is sized by the hardware you are releasing.
11) Can the CDVI A22K be used for elevator floor control instead of doors?
Yes. The A22K converts to an elevator controller as the A22KEC, so the same hardware can be redeployed to floor call restriction in a residential tower or office building. It also converts to a Schlage door handle controller (ADH2K) or an Aperio door handle controller (A2PK) if you are running wireless locksets instead of wired strikes.
12) What happens to the encryption keys on the CDVI KRYPTO system if the power goes out?
The KRYPTO system auto-restores its encryption keys after a power failure, so the readers and credentials come back talking to each other without a technician re-keying the system by hand. For an MRO or facilities team without a security integrator on site, that is the difference between a reboot and a service call.
13) Can I add more DESFire EV2 cards to a CDVI Atrium A22K1 system later?
Yes. The kit includes 25 TAG-EV2 credentials to start, and the ATRIUM software manages up to 10,000 users, so you enroll additional DESFire EV2/EV3 credentials as tenants or staff come on. Order additional credentials in the same TAG-EV2 DESFire family so they match the KRYPTO reader encryption already in place.
14) Can I mix a Schlage CTE ENGAGE controller into a CDVI Atrium system to add a door?
They are separate platforms, so this is a case where two products look interchangeable and are not. The A22K1 controller and its K1 readers run on ATRIUM software, included with the kit and supporting up to 10,000 users, and the A22K itself converts to an elevator controller, a Schlage door handle controller, or an Aperio door handle controller when the job calls for it. The Schlage Electronics CTE ENGAGE single door controller is its own controller with its own reader on a direct RS-485 connection, not an Atrium expansion device. To add doors to an Atrium head end, stay on Atrium hardware.
15) We need more than 15 credentials at handover - which two-door access kit ships with enough cards?
The CDVI Atrium A22K1 includes 25 TAG-EV2 DESFire EV2 credentials with the two-door A22K controller and two K1 readers. The A22KITSTB two-door kit is supplied with 15 credentials. For a building where the tenant roster at turnover runs past fifteen cards, the A22K1 covers more of the initial issue out of the box, and the Atrium software behind it handles up to 10,000 users as the roster grows.
16) Is this CDVI access control kit rated for commercial buildings or is it a residential product?
Commercial. The Atrium A22K1 is a commercial-grade electronic access control package, which is why it is specified with a wired 120 V controller, encrypted smart card credentials and software managing up to 10,000 users rather than an app-and-battery residential lock.
