BP-2002-W Series Guard Tour Readers improves upon the BP-2002 Series Guard Tour Readers, adding many advanced technical improvements such as wireless data transfer, making the products more durable and easier to use. BP-2002-W Series Guard Tour Readers works with the popular EM format signal cards, which are low in cost and have been widely used in systems including work-attendance checking, access control, fee collection, parking management, etc. The readers have been used in guard tour systems as well as other applications including time and attendance, vehicle management, animal identification, parts management, etc. The BP-2002-W Series Guard Tour Readers are available in two models: BP-2002-W has a four-digit alphanumeric LCD display, and is able to display information such as time, card number, event number, serial number, etc. It is suitable for applications where it is important to have access to the information related to the signal cards read. BP-2002B-W comes without the LCD display, and is able to work at a lower temperature range than the BP-2002 (-40C° instead of -20C°). Because of this, it has been widely used under frigid conditions in northern regions. The BP-2002B is also more durable due to the lack of a LCD display. The exterior of the BP-2002-W Series Guard Tour Readers can be processed in two different ways: electroplating or plastic-coating. Other than making the appearance different, the two exterior treatments do not affect the devices operations differently. The electroplated exterior has a more elegant look, while the plastic coated exterior is more durable and has a better hand-feel. 1. Ultra Energy Efficient Can make over 700,000 readings with a set of single-use batteries (two AA sized 3.6v lithium batteries). Equal to an average of 5 years battery life in actual usage. 2. Wireless Data transfer Uploads reader data wirelessly without the need for connection ports. Does not consume energy from reader during transfer (using comm stations BS-1000, BS-2000, BS-3000, or BS-4000), making usage more convenient and the readers more resistant to damage. 3. Ruggedized and Shock-Absorbent Design First in the industry to use super-reinforced aluminum-alloy casing, and have shock-absorbent internal designs. Can withstand over 200 drops onto concrete floor from over 2 meters height. 4. Completely Waterproof Sealed against liquids, work under water. 5. Reliable Flash Memory Data Storage Use advanced Flash memory technology, do not lose their data even when batteries run out. It is capable of storing 30,719 pieces of guard tour data. Competing products use battery-operated RAM, can lose all of their stored information once the batteries run out, and can only store a few thousand pieces of data. 6. Remote Upload Able to remotely upload data to the PC over phone-line or GPRS mobile phone networks. 7. Make readings without contact Can read from signal cards by moving the readers near them, not affected by dust, rain, snow, ice, or other environmental factors. Much more convenient than traditional readers that require precise contacts with information buttons, especially at night. Moreover, prolonged usaged of traditional contact-type readers can cause the contact-points to wear out, and they are very difficult to use under adverse weather. 8. Easy to Carry Length: 150 mm, Width: 42 mm, Thickness: 26 mm, weigh less than 200 g, making them convenient to carry. 9. Protect Against Battery Draining The devices automatical
