Rugged Outdoor Build
Crafted for outdoor installation, the XP2‑GDPB features an IP67 rating for dust and water ingress, and IK08-rated housing for resistance to vandalism. This ensures reliable performance—even in Nairobi’s dust, rains, or freezing-altitude conditions.
Support for Multiple RFID Formats
With compatibility across 125 kHz EM, 13.56 MHz MIFARE, iCLASS, and DESFire, this device provides flexibility in how users are authenticated. Whether upgrading existing cards or deploying new credentials, it adapts to your setup with ease.
Installation Simplicity
Designed to snap into standard gang boxes or junction boxes, this reader simplifies installation. The compact form factor reduces cabling clutter, lowering labor costs and installation time, while integrating seamlessly into any architectural setup.
Flexible Communication Interfaces
Choose from Wiegand, RS‑485, or OSDP, depending on your control panel’s specifications. With AES‑128 encryption compatibility via OSDP, data integrity is ensured during transmission.
Robust Performance in Harsh Environments
Engineered to operate from –40 °C to +60 °C, the XPass 2 excels in extreme temperatures—ideal for outdoor installations subject to heavy sun, rain, or even cold dispenser booths and remote installations.
Enhanced Security Features
The unit includes an anti-tamper (Kirk) switch to signal control panels in case of unauthorized opening, and supports alarm-relay outputs for integration with deterrent systems like floodlights or buzzers.
Ideal Applications
1. Perimeter Access Control
Install XP2‑GDPB at driveway entry points to control vehicle and pedestrian access in residential estates, factories, warehouses, or gated communities.
2. Outdoor Staff Entrance
Use for staff entrances at construction sites, schools, hospitals, and mining facilities where outdoor durability is required.
3. Remote Facility Control
Perfect for external entry points such as kiosks, valet drops, parking gates, and outdoor ATM installations.
4. Barrier and Gate Systems
Gate operators, parking lot control systems, and turnstile assemblies benefit from protected RFID access.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can it be used with your current Suprema panel?
Yes. XP2‑GDPB integrates directly into Suprema’s range—BioEntry W2, BioLite Net, CoreStation—or any third-party panel supporting OSDP.
Q: Is the IK08 rating necessary?
Yes. It protects against vandalism, making it essential for outdoor installations and high-risk locations.
Q: Can I mount it on metal surfaces?
Yes. The device compensates for metal-induced detuning, maintaining consistent RFID range.
Q: How do I configure encryption?
Encryption is configured via your access control panel when using OSDP protocol, while Wiegand and RS‑485 offer standard unencrypted connectivity.
