DST Arc Series
Same body. Same reader.
Only the wiring changes.
Three models on one platform. Pick by how the door is wired: to a panel, to a serial line, or to the network.
Arc-100
The panel reader.
For doors already wired to a controller. Wiegand out, nothing else to configure — the lowest-cost way to put a DST reader on an existing system.
- Wiegand — Fitted
- RS-485 — Not fitted
- Ethernet — Not fitted
- Wi-Fi — Not fitted
Arc-200
The serial reader.
Wiegand plus RS-485 on the same unit. Run several readers on one line over long distances, or keep Wiegand as the fallback.

Arc-500
The network reader.
Ethernet and Wi-Fi on top of RS-485 and Wiegand. Manage it centrally, drive the lock from its own relay, or hand it to a panel — the same unit does all of it.

The product
An IP card reader that
speaks every line you already run.
Access hardware usually forces a choice: a networked reader, or one that talks to the panel you already own. This one does not ask.
Four ways to connect
Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Wiegand and RS-485 in one reader. Retrofit it onto an existing panel over Wiegand, or run it over the network — the same unit does both, with no adapter in between.

Reads what is already in the field
A dual-frequency (13.56 MHz + 125 kHz) multi-protocol reader, so an installed base of credentials keeps working. The antenna is built into the reader itself, not a bolted-on module.
