How to Select and Order Access Keypads at Communica

Selection Criteria for South African Installers

• Installation location: Confirm indoor/outdoor rating, mounting type, and whether you need backbox or surface-mount accessories.
• Integration: Choose Wiegand, standalone, or networked options to match with alarm, intercom, or building automation systems.
• Entry capacity: Estimate user numbers for your site. Many models allow 100-2,000+ unique PIN or card users.
• Supply voltage: Most models operate at 12V DC-confirm with your power supply and cable run length.
• Features: Look for anti-tamper switches, illuminated keypads, and programmable duress codes for higher security needs.

If you need assistance, Communica's technical team can advise on compatibility and installation, helping you select reliable hardware from stocked brands. All options are supported by local VAT invoicing and purchase order processes for businesses and educational institutions.
