· Mass: 35.1g · Dimensions (W x D x H): 62.5 x 33.4 x 10.9 mm.
· To be operating, the RCC 6470 must be mounted on an ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions electronic product that works as a host system. The inteface with the host is by the connector that allows data communication and provide 4,5VDC power to the module.
· Three radio technologies RFID, BLE and Zigbee are mainly used for card access, mobile device access and local system monitoring respectively. LED indication as user inteface and USB-C as service connector are other functions of the module.
· The module RCC 6470 can only be integrated in the ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions hosts placing it in a specific position by mechanical fixing and by the dedicated connector to the electromechanical part of the host.
· Once the end product is installed and the module is physically embedded in the end product, take place the commisioning process to initialize the communication with the host and with a compatible local or cloud based service.
· The installation and commissioning process is performed or monitored by ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions personell using ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions software and hardware tools.
· A configuration check is performed after installation.
