ABB-Welcome Display Module with Card Reader

Outdoor Station Module for ABB Door Entry Systems

Add a customized welcoming message to your entrance with the ABB Display Module with Card Reader. This outdoor module installs onto an ABB Door Entry System outdoor station to display digital customized messages, codes, or names. Additionally, the built-in card reader can be used to unlock a connected door lock or trigger a third-party Wiegand access controller. When a visitor or resident waves an authorized proximity card/tag (sold separately) in front of the module, the lock/controller is activated.

• Large screen displays programmable digital messages
• Built-in card reader unlocks door or triggers Wiegand output
• Supports up to 3,000 different proximity cards/tags
• On-screen menu allows local card registration/deletion
• Installs into an ABB Flush Mounted Box with an audio module

The reader is compatible with third-party ID/IC cards and tags, not included. Choose between either an ID card reader or an IC card reader. The ID model is compatible with third-party cards using the 125nKHz frequency, while the IC model works with cards using the 13.56 MHz frequency.

Through the on-screen display menu, you can locally register/delete up to 3,000 different cards/tags. When connected to an audio module (sold separately), the card reader can also trigger different sounds, one for an accepted card and another for a rejected card.

Installation Details

As an outdoor station module, the ABB Display Module connects to the System Controller (sold separately) using two wires, and installs into an ABB Flush Mounted Box (sold separately) at the size of your choosing. The module should be combined with at least an audio module (sold separately) in a multi-gang box. Once your box size is chosen, a same-size ABB Aluminum Faceplate is also required to finish the custom-built outdoor station.

After the module is wired into the Door Entry System, it simply snaps into the box, and the faceplate snaps over it onto the box. The box can be flush- or surface-mounted with accessories.

NOTE: Requires 2-wire connection to a System Controller, sold separately. Installation hardware and proximity cards/tags not included.

• Complete intercom and access control solution for any building
• One system supports up to 60 buildings and 250 stations per building
• Connections require only 2 wires for ultra-flexible installations
• Standard range up to 1,968 feet (600 m), extends with power boosters
• Free mobile apps for iOS and Android provide remote intercom access
• No fees required to enable Internet connection – ABB provides servers

Station Features:

• Modular outdoor stations allow easy customization and repairs
• Pre-assembled outdoor stations facilitate quick installation for standard applications
• Optionally install ABB indoor stations and/or use mobile devices as indoor stations
• Indoor stations optionally support door strike release for remote unlocking
• Optionally select indoor stations with built-in induction loops for hearing aid users

How to Build Your System

Every ABB Door Entry System needs at least two components: a System Controller (either standard or mini) and an Audio Module (any variation). With these two foundational components, the system can be expanded and customized as needed. Additional system components may include:

• Custom Modular Outdoor Stations
  • Audio Module (speaker/mic, with or without pushbuttons)
  • Pushbutton Module (with or without built-in card reader)
  • Keypad Module (with or without built-in card reader)
  • Display Module with Built-In Card Reader
  • Camera Module
  • Nameplate Module
• Pre-Assembled Outdoor Stations
• Hands-Free Indoor Stations (with or without video screen and/or induction loop)
• Handset Indoor Stations (with or without video screen and/or induction loop)
• Guard Unit (specialized station for security monitoring)
• Mobile Devices (requires Telephone Gateway and/or IP Gateway)
• Telephone Gateway (for integrating mobile or landline phones)
• IP Gateway (for enabling remote Internet access)
• Switch Actuator (for relay control)
• Camera Interface (for connecting third-party analog cameras)
• Elevator Lift Control Relay Module (for elevator/floor access control)

Other accessories are also available for installation and connection. Most notably, in order to build a custom modular outdoor station, you will need to select the modules you wish to include in the station, and then match the number of modules to the appropriate size Flush-Mounted Box and Faceplate. (Flush-mounted boxes support optional surface-mounting in addition to flush-mounting. When surface-mounting, a Rain Hood is also required; only optional when surface-mounting.) The screwless, snap-on design of both outdoor and indoor stations makes installation a breeze.
