ASSA ABLOY SMARTair i-gate Electronic Padlock R4 – Wireless Online, Openow BLE, MIFARE, IP68 (SNZBP2XI)
The ASSA ABLOY SMARTair i-gate electronic padlock is a professional wireless access control device designed for securing locations where traditional electronic locks cannot be installed. The padlock integrates a contactless RFID reader, control electronics and electromechanical clutch inside a sealed industrial padlock body.
This configuration (SNZBP2XI) supports SMARTair Wireless Online architecture together with Openow mobile credentials. Users can unlock the padlock using authorised MIFARE cards, tags or smartphones via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
Unlike conventional mechanical padlocks, the SMARTair i-gate padlock forms part of a fully managed access control ecosystem. Credentials can be issued or revoked through the SMARTair management platform, access events are recorded, and permissions can be scheduled or updated remotely when connected to the Wireless Online system.

The SMARTair i-gate electronic padlock is designed for outdoor environments and carries an IP68 environmental protection rating. The sealed electronic module and protective rubber housing help protect internal components from dust, moisture and harsh weather conditions, making the padlock suitable for gates, infrastructure enclosures, cages and external equipment storage.
Important installation guidance for weatherproof performance:
- The padlock must be installed vertically with the shackle facing upwards.
- Weatherproof protection is guaranteed only while the shackle is fully closed.
- Do not leave the padlock open when installed outdoors, as this compromises the environmental sealing.
Following these installation guidelines ensures the padlock maintains its rated environmental protection and long-term reliability in outdoor conditions.

Item Code Family – SMARTair i-gate Electronic Padlocks
The following products belong to the ASSA ABLOY SMARTair i-gate electronic padlock range. Variants differ primarily by system architecture and credential technology, while all models share the same IP68-rated outdoor padlock hardware platform.
Both MIFARE and HID iCLASS are secure RFID credential technologies used in commercial access control systems. The SMARTair i-gate padlock can be supplied with either reader type depending on the credential system already used in the building.
- MIFARE is a widely used open RFID standard commonly deployed in access control, universities, transport cards and multi-application credential systems.
- HID iCLASS is a proprietary HID credential platform typically used in enterprise security systems and facilities already using HID card technology.
- The reader type must match the credential technology used by the building's existing access control cards or fobs.
If you are unsure which credential technology your site uses, our team can help identify compatibility before purchase.
