CDVI SOLARKPB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the CDVI SOLARKPB reader work with my existing HID 125 kHz proximity cards?
The SOLARKPB reads CDVI, HID and most popular 26-bit Wiegand card formats at 125 kHz, so an existing 125 kHz HID credential population on 26-bit Wiegand will read on it. If your site runs 13.56 MHz smart credentials, this is the wrong reader, it is a 125 kHz device only.
2) Can the CDVI SOLARKPB prox reader and keypad be mounted outdoors on an exterior door?
Yes, it is rated indoor/outdoor with the PCB sealed in epoxy and an IP53 rating, and it operates from -13F to 158F (-25C to 70C). That temperature band covers most North American exterior installs. IP53 is protection against limited dust and spray water, not driving rain or washdown, so mount it where it gets some shelter rather than on a fully exposed wall face.
3) What power supply do I need to run a CDVI SOLARKPB keypad reader?
12 Vdc at 150 mA draw. Any regulated 12 Vdc access control power supply with battery backup will carry it, and at 150 mA per reader you can budget several readers onto a common supply alongside your lock current. Size the supply for the locks first, the reader load is small by comparison.
4) Is the CDVI SOLARKPB a standalone door controller or does it need a separate access control panel?
It is a Wiegand reader with keypad, not a controller. It sends credential and PIN data out on Wiegand to a panel or door controller that makes the access decision and drives the lock. If you want reader and control in one package for a single opening, look at a controller-with-reader product such as the Schlage Electronics CTE ENGAGE single door controller with mobile-enabled multi-technology reader, or the CDVI Atrium A22KITSTB two-door kit which bundles the A22 controller with STAR readers and credentials.
5) Does the CDVI SOLARKPB include the door controller, or is a separate controller needed?
The SOLARKPB is a proximity reader with keypad - the credential-reading device at the door, sending 26-bit Wiegand to a controller that makes the unlock decision. If the controller is not already in place, the CDVI Americas A22KITSTB Atrium 2-door kit is the counterpart to look at: it pairs an A22 controller with two STARPB readers and 15 credentials, so the controller and the reading points arrive together. Buy the SOLARKPB when an A22 or similar Wiegand panel is already installed and only the door-side device is being added or replaced.
6) What is the difference between a CDVI SOLARKPB and a Schlage CTE-MTB11-485-B for a single door?
They divide the work differently. The SOLARKPB is a 125 kHz proximity reader with a touch-sensitive keypad that outputs 26-bit Wiegand to a separate access control panel. The Schlage Electronics CTE-MTB11-485-B is a single-door ENGAGE controller with a mobile-enabled multi-technology reader built in, connecting by direct RS-485. Choose the SOLARKPB when the site standardizes on Wiegand panels and 125 kHz cards; choose the Schlage CTE when the door needs its own controller and mobile or multi-technology credentials.
7) How close does a card have to be held to a CDVI SOLARKPB reader?
Read range is up to 2.75 inches (7 cm), and it varies with the card or tag type, thinner clamshell and fob formats often read at less. That is a present-the-card range, not a hands-free one. If your tenants want to walk through without pulling a badge out of a bag, this is not the reader for it.
8) Can I set up card-plus-PIN or PIN-only entry with the SOLARKPB?
The unit combines a touch sensitive keypad with the prox reader and takes codes of 4 to 8 digits, so it supports keypad entry as well as card presentation. Which modes are enforced (card only, PIN only, or card and PIN together) is set at the controller receiving the Wiegand data, not at the reader.
9) We need mobile phone credentials at the entry - is the CDVI SOLARKPB the right reader?
The SOLARKPB reads 125 kHz proximity cards and fobs plus a 4 to 8 digit keypad code, so entry is by card, tag, or PIN. For an opening that has to accept credentials from a phone, the Schlage Electronics CTE-MTB11-485-B is the peer to specify - it is a mobile-enabled multi-technology reader combined with a single-door controller on a direct RS-485 connection. Sites that want a PIN option at the door and card-based credentials stay with the SOLARKPB.
10) Can a CDVI SOLARKPB replace a STARPB reader on an Atrium A22 system?
Both are CDVI reading devices intended to feed a CDVI controller, and the A22KITSTB Atrium 2-door kit ships with STARPB readers on its A22 controller. The SOLARKPB differs in that it combines the proximity reader with a touch-sensitive keypad, so the door can be opened by card or by a 4 to 8 digit code rather than card alone, and it reads CDVI, HID and most popular 26-bit Wiegand encoding, so existing cards issued with the kit continue to work. It is the device to specify when one opening on an Atrium system needs PIN entry added.
11) For a gate or exterior door in cold weather, is a keypad reader like the SOLARKPB or a door controller with reader the better choice?
The SOLARKPB is built for exposed use: polycarbonate housing with the PCB sealed in epoxy, IP53, and an operating range of -13 F to 158 F (-25 C to 70 C), with the controller electronics living inside on a separate panel. That split keeps the intelligence out of the weather. A combined unit such as the Schlage Electronics CTE-MTB11-485-B puts the single-door controller and the reader in one device at the opening, which reduces the wiring back to a panel but places the control electronics at the door. For an outdoor gate fed from an interior panel, the SOLARKPB is the reader to mount outside.
12) Does the CDVI SOLARKPB give the user any feedback that their card was accepted?
Yes. The reader gives both audible and visual feedback, with an illuminated reader that shows blue, green and red. In practice that means a tenant or delivery driver can tell a valid read from a rejected one without staring at the door, which cuts down the calls you get about a door that will not open.
13) Is there a white version of the CDVI SOLAR keypad reader?
Two finishes are made: SOLARKPB in black and SOLARKPW in white. Both are the same 125 kHz keypad reader, the difference is the polycarbonate housing color. Match the black to dark anodized aluminum storefront and the white to painted or light frames.
14) Is the CDVI SOLARKPB suitable for a commercial building or is it a residential product?
It is a commercial access control device. The polycarbonate housing with epoxy potted electronics and the -13F to 158F operating range are built for multi-family entries, storefronts, and back-of-house doors rather than home use. It carries RoHS, WEEE, IP53, CE, FCC and R&TTE marks.
