ABUS SECURITY-CENTER AU1320 Standalone Access Control Controller with Wiegand Interface

The ABUS AU1320 stands out as a compact standalone access control controller that brings professional-grade door management to small installations without the complexity of a networked system. While many controllers demand a permanent PC connection, this unit operates independently, storing up to 1000 users and 2000 events locally, making it ideal for offices, shops, or residential buildings where simplicity and reliability are paramount.

In daily use

Installation is straightforward: connect the controller to a Wiegand reader, a door lock, and a 12 V DC power supply. Programming can be done via master card, programming card, or the optional AU1100 PC software. The controller logs every access attempt, and the built-in buzzer provides audible feedback. The plastic housing is rated IP20 for indoor use, and the operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C ensures reliable performance in most environments. With its compact dimensions and DIN-rail mountable design (mounting bracket included), the AU1320 fits neatly into electrical cabinets.
