Speco Technologies AWRR44 Long Range Receiver
Overview
The Speco Technologies AWRR44 is a long-range wireless receiver designed for access control integration in demanding outdoor and indoor environments. Operating at 433MHz using ultra high frequency (UHF) technology, the AWRR44 delivers read capability up to 200 feet with a 360-degree reception radius, eliminating line-of-sight installation requirements. The unit interfaces directly with standard Wiegand 26-bit credentials and rolling code + encryption transmission protocols, making it compatible with most modern access control systems and readers.
Key Features
- 200-Foot Read Range: Installer-adjustable transmission distance supports campus-scale deployments and perimeter access points
- 433MHz UHF Technology: Ultra high frequency operation provides reliable penetration through walls and outdoor obstacles without line-of-sight requirement
- 360-Degree Reception Radius: Omnidirectional antenna design eliminates angular dead zones and mounting constraints
- Wiegand 26-Bit Interface: Industry-standard 26-bit output with support for custom Wiegand formats via installer configuration
- IP65 Weather Resistance: Sealed electronics and potted proximity/contactless smartcard module rated for indoor and outdoor deployment across -40°F to 149°F operating temperature range
- Rolling Code + Encryption: Secure transmission protocol prevents replay attacks and credential interception in RF-dense environments
- Compact Dimensions: 3.4" W × 6.3" H × 2.3" D form factor accommodates USA/European wall boxes or direct surface mounting
- Audible/Visual Feedback: Standard beeper (installer switchable) and four-state LED indicator (red, green, amber, off) plus power and channel status lights provide real-time operational confirmation
- 12VDC Nominal Power: 120mA typical current draw at 12VDC; standard 24 AWG multiconductor strand cable with overall foil shield
- ETL-Listed & NDAA Compliant: FCC, ICC, CE, and C-Tick certifications; compliant with NDAA Section 889 Part B Guidelines for federal and protected infrastructure deployments
Integration & Compatibility
The AWRR44 integrates with access control systems via its standard Wiegand 26-bit output interface, compatible with most modern door controllers, readers, and management platforms. Transmission is compatible with Speco long-range transmitters including the AWRT4, WRT-2+ (all variants), and WRT-4+ (all variants). ONVIF compliance ensures flexibility in mixed-vendor environments where integration with video surveillance and analytics platforms is required. The 12VDC powered design supports both AC/DC supply configurations, enabling flexible installation in retrofit and new construction scenarios.
Deployment Specifications
The AWRR44 is rated IP65 and weather-resistant, supporting both indoor and outdoor installation. Electronics are sealed in an off-white plastic enclosure with black label, designed to mount in standard USA/European wall boxes or directly to flat surfaces. Operating temperature range spans -40°F to 149°F, accommodating harsh climates and unheated outdoor enclosures. Cabling requires 24 AWG minimum, multiconductor stranded wire with overall foil shield to maintain signal integrity over extended runs. One-year warranty covers all components and labor.
