The Neptune ACKPW1C is a mullion-format access control keypad with a built-in 125 kHz EM proximity reader. Its narrow 2 x 6 push-button layout is designed to fit slim door frames and mullions where a full-size keypad will not sit, while still offering both PIN and card entry.
The unit works as a complete standalone controller for a single door, with one relay output driving an electric strike, magnetic lock or bolt, and it also provides a Wiegand interface for connection to an external system. Capacity runs to 2,000 users. The fully potted electronics are rated to IP68 and housed in a vandal-resistant zinc alloy case for indoor or outdoor use.
This is an access control keypad, not a door lock. It switches the door hardware through its relay and is designed to be paired with the lock and power supply appropriate to the installation.

Neptune Standalone and Wiegand Keypads - Item Code Family
Compatible Neptune Accessories - Build the Full Door Package
The ACKPW1C switches the door hardware through its relay, so a complete installation also needs the locking device, a power supply and usually an exit device. The matching Neptune access control range is stocked on our sister site, Terry's Gold Coast Hardware:
Compatible 125 kHz EM credentials, also on Terry's Gold Coast Hardware: EM ISO cards, overmoulded pear fobs, Urban keyfobs, adhesive tags and silicone wristbands (choose the EM / Presco 125 kHz options - this model does not read HID or Mifare).

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose the mullion version over the standard keypad?
The ACKPW1C is only 58 mm wide, so it fits narrow door frames, mullions and jambs beside glass where a full-size 3 x 4 keypad will not sit. If you have room for a larger keypad and want EM and HID plus dual relays, the Neptune ACKPWB6K is the wider alternative.

Is it suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. The unit is rated to IP68 and described as suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Seal the cable entry points and avoid mounting where water can pool against the housing. See our guide to IP ratings. For an exposed gate, pair it with the Neptune waterproof monitored maglock.

What cards will it read?
The reader supports 125 kHz EM proximity cards and fobs only. It does not read HID or 13.56 MHz Mifare cards. Compatible EM credentials include the Neptune EM ISO cards, pear fobs and Urban keyfobs. Compare card and PIN credentials in the Access Methods buyers guide.

What lock can the relay drive?
The relay is rated to a maximum 2 ampere lock output. Choose the electric strike, magnetic lock or bolt to suit the relay rating, and power the lock from a dedicated access control power supply rather than directly from the keypad.

Can it be used as a reader for another controller?
Yes. The keypad provides a Wiegand 26 output, so its data lines can connect to any controller that accepts a Wiegand 26 input, letting it act as a reader rather than a standalone controller.

Additional Information
- Because this is a mullion keypad, plan cable routing carefully; space inside a narrow frame is often limited. A door loop protects any cable that crosses to the door leaf.
- For outdoor mounting, seal the cable entry and avoid a position where water can pool against the housing.
- The two supplied manager cards (Add and Delete) let you enrol and remove user cards quickly without entering full programming mode.
- Block enrolment can add a run of sequential cards at once, which saves time on larger user lists - order sequential-numbered EM cards and fobs to suit. Power the system from a dedicated supply in our power accessories range.
- This is an access control keypad, not a smart lock: it has no app, no Bluetooth or WiFi, and no mechanical key. Browse the wider Neptune range or the full Keypads for Smart Locks category for other options.
