Contact Us Introducing the TX3-CX Card Access System The TX3-CX Card Access System is part of the Mircom suite of products that provide building ready monitoring, control and integrated security solutions for use in the high end multi-tenant residential market. -
Page 7: Applications
Welcome Applications Mircom's Card Access System consists of a controller, two card readers and configuration software. The controller can accept at the same time, a combination of card readers with different formats to control two access points or doors. The Card Access System can set elevator usage if elevator controls are used. -
Page 8: Installer Responsibilities
Welcome The Mircom Card Access System supports a proprietary 37-bit encoding technology and a 26-bit SIA standard format, and consists of a maximum of 63 card access controllers networked together. Each card access controller can have two card readers. The Card Access System provides an optional battery backup and a real time clock. -
