The KeyMaster AC-1100 is a slimline proximity card reader/writer for a range of contactless 
identification and transaction applications, including access control, time & attendance 
reporting, membership cards, electronic keys, parking systems and prepaid card systems. 

The AC-1100 employs very large scale integration (VLSI) surface-mount components, and 
utilizes the I/O capability of the system controllers to deliver a compact, flexible proximity 
solution.  A single tri-color LED and an internal piezo buzzer indicate status and error 
information. 

This document forms part of a set covering the installation of KeyMaster Systems and should 
be read in conjunction with the master document, entitled ‘KeyMaster Systems Hardware 
Installation Guidelines’, which is distributed as
