Akuvox AV-A02 Access Control Terminal

Door controller, card reader and code keypad in one compact device

The Akuvox AV-A02 is an IP-based access control terminal that combines a door controller, RFID card reader and a touch-sensitive numeric keypad in a single, compact device. Akuvox promotes it as “smart, compact and stylish” – compared with the otherwise identical AV-A01, the AV-A02 additionally allows access to be granted via PIN code. Users can therefore choose between card, PIN code or NFC on a compatible Android smartphone, depending on which release method is most convenient at the moment.

Stylish, robust design: The touch numeric keypad is framed by an aluminium frame. Despite its slim appearance, the device is protected to IP65 against dust and water jets as well as to IK07 against impact, making it suitable for outdoor use as well.

With capacity for 20,000 cards, 20,000 PIN codes and 100,000 access logs, plus compatibility with Akuvox Cloud and ACMS, the AV-A02 can be operated either as a standalone unit or as part of a larger, centrally managed access solution.

Compact, yet fully equipped

The AV-A02 combines card recognition, PIN entry, door control and access management in one device.

How the AV-A02 is built

The AV-A02 is designed as a flat, compact terminal with clearly structured functional areas.

More than just door opening

Beyond pure access release, the AV-A02 offers several management functions that are otherwise more commonly found in larger access systems.

• Export and import of access schedules (time windows for access rights)
• Management of different access levels for various user groups
• Switchable to pure reader mode, for example for connection to an external access control panel
• Query and export of door access logs
• Flexible shift planning and attendance management, for example for time & attendance at the workplace

Integration into existing systems

The AV-A02 can be operated either as a standalone door controller or as a card reader within a larger access infrastructure.

On the network side, the AV-A02 supports among other things IPv4, HTTP(S), FTP, DNS, NTP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, DHCP and ARP.

Designed for larger user numbers as well

Maintenance and operation from a distance

For professional operation and remote maintenance, the AV-A02 includes several administrative functions.

• Auto-provisioning for automated initial setup
• Management via a web-based management portal
• Web-based packet dump for network diagnostics
• Backup and restore of the configuration
• Firmware updates via the web interface
• System logs

Robustly built for continuous outdoor use

Despite its slim design, the AV-A02 is designed for continuous use at outdoor doors.

• Touch numeric keypad without moving parts, making it particularly low-maintenance
• Aluminium frame for additional mechanical robustness
• IP65 protection against dust and strong water jets
• Impact resistance according to IK07
• Integrated tamper alarm in case of forced dismantling
• Operating temperature range from −20 °C to +55 °C for outdoor use

Commissioning in a few steps

Setting up the AV-A02 can be completed in a short time even without prior knowledge.

1. Determine mounting type: use flush-mount or surface-mount installation
2. Mount the device and connect the Ethernet/PoE cable; alternatively use an external 12 V power supply
3. Perform basic setup via the terminal’s web interface
4. Enrol users, cards and PIN codes on the device or centrally via Akuvox Cloud or ACMS
5. Wire the relay to the door opener
6. Optional: set the operating mode (standalone controller or pure card reader)

Why the AV-A02 is suitable

Practical application examples

• Single access point where both card and PIN access are desired
• Office buildings requiring time & attendance and shift planning at the access point itself
• Retrofitting existing access control panels as an additional card reader in reader mode
• Sites where individual users prefer a PIN code rather than a card
• Outdoor doors and side entrances with higher requirements for weather resistance

The Akuvox AV-A02 combines card recognition, PIN entry, door control and access management in a compact, weatherproof terminal – a cost-efficient solution for access points where flexibility in release methods is required.
