Accessories

Accessories and add-on components for LabKey control units: GPIO connector for sensors, UHF antenna for vehicle access control, DIN rail power supply, and Access Print Kit.

GPIO input connector for sensors

GPIO input connector for sensors

Compatible only with the PRO control unit model.

The GPIO input connector is a hardware plug-in that lets you connect sensors and external modules to collect environmental data and detect anomalies. Up to 4 GPIO inputs are supported, allowing up to 4 sensors to be managed via dry contact.

The management software can also block a gate from opening based on the status of a GPIO (for example, preventing access while an alarm is active), or trigger a device when a GPIO changes state (for example, activating a siren when a sensor is detected).

All inputs can also be managed remotely, with dedicated alerts on the Manage panel.

For the wiring diagram, see GPIO Input Management on the Electrical Wiring page.

UHF antenna for vehicle access control

UHF antenna for vehicle access control

Compatible only with the PRO control unit model.

The UHF antenna automatically recognizes UHF tags, opening the gate without requiring any contact or manual action from the user: ideal for company or private parking areas and for any vehicle access that needs fast, effortless management.

Key features:

  • UHF RFID technology, with contactless tag reading at up to 6 meters
  • 360° reading coverage, able to read up to 100 tags simultaneously
  • IP65 rated, resistant to dust and moisture
  • Connects to the control unit via RS-485 cable
  • Manages a database of up to 50,000 unique codes
  • Supplied with a 5-tag UHF antenna, with the option to request custom tags

Vehicle access management (users, notifications, statistics) is handled through the Manage panel.

For the wiring diagram, see UHF Vehicle Access Control Antenna Wiring on the Electrical Wiring page.

DIN rail power supply

DIN rail power supply

As an alternative to the standard plug-in power supply, a 12V 4.5A DIN rail power supply is available on request, for installation directly on the electrical panel together with the control unit.

This version is the one included by default with the ACCESS PRO 8 kit — see ACCESS PRO 8 Wiringbut it can also be requested for the other models when ordering, as an alternative to the standard power supply.

Access Print Kit

Access Print Kit

The Access Print Kit is an add-on kit that pairs with a LabKey control unit and readers to open gates using a printed ticket. The printing station consists of:

  • LabKey control unit for printing
  • QR Code printer
  • Automation software
  • Manual button to trigger printing
  • Power supplies included
  • Crossover network cable to connect the printer to the control unit

When the button is pressed, the system generates and prints a ticket containing:

  • a single-use QR Code, usable once within a configurable time window
  • a matching numeric code, for use with a keypad

Single-use QR Code: each generated QR code is unique, temporary, and valid for a single access; once used, it’s automatically invalidated.

Through the Stand Alone management panel, you can customize the QR Code’s validity, both in terms of number of uses and time window (for example, a code valid for 2 uses within 2 hours). This helps prevent unauthorized reuse, gives you better control over user flow, and increases security.

Ticket customization: the text printed on the ticket can be customized through the Stand Alone management panel.
