Rx1
Rx1 is a security controller that links access readers and locks and decides whether access is allowed. The unit is mounted on a DIN rail inside an electronics closet, so the form is restrained and suited to that context. Printed graphics show which wire connects to each plug pin, and LEDs indicate which plug has a fault. An internal atrium and side vents cool the processor when the housing is wall mounted. The LED boards sit close to the surface, which removes the need for light pipes. The case is made from flame resistant plastic.
