Security Brands 27-220 Edge E2 Smart Proximity Reader

Bluetooth Managed Proximity Access for Gates and Doors

The Security Brands 27-220 Edge E2 SecurePass is a smart prox reader and stand-alone access control unit for gated entrances, doors, parking areas, and controlled perimeter access points. It includes a Security Brands SecurePass CR metal proximity reader, Bluetooth administrator app management, onboard relay control, and local programming through the included internal programming pad.

The 27-220 can operate without a separate access controller. It stores credentials, checks user permissions and schedules, and activates Relay A or Relay B when an approved SecurePass credential, transmitter, remote, vehicle tag, or connected Wiegand device is used. This makes it useful for single-entry locations or two controlled openings where the reader and controller are needed at the access point.

For multi-entry properties, the Edge family also supports a controller-based approach. The Security Brands Edge E4 27-240 is the dedicated smart door controller in the same product family, designed for layouts where separate Wiegand readers, keypads, or access devices are wired back to a controller. The 27-220 is the all-in-one smart prox reader option, while the Edge E4 is the controller option for system layouts that need separate reader placement.

In a typical gate installation, the 27-220 is powered by the included 12-VDC power supply or a compatible 12 to 24VAC/DC source. Relay A is commonly wired from N/O and COM to the gate operator’s open, radio, access, or similar input and common terminal. Relay B can be wired the same way to a second gate, door, lock control circuit, or access device. Exact terminal names vary by operator, so the gate operator or door opener wiring diagram should always be followed.

Conclusion

The Security Brands 27-220 Edge E2 SecurePass is a smart prox reader with built-in access control for up to two gates or doors. It can function as a stand-alone card-based entry system by wiring its relays directly to gate operators, door openers, locks, or control circuits. For larger Edge family layouts that need separate readers wired back to a controller, the Security Brands Edge E4 27-240 is the controller option to consider.
