Description
The Schlage RC15 Single-Gang Keypad Reader from Schlage—part of the Allegion portfolio—is a next-generation, all-in-one access control solution designed for modern, scalable security environments. This single-gang, wall-mounted keypad reader controller combines credential reading, keypad entry, and door control into one streamlined device, reducing system complexity and installation time.
Built on Schlage’s Pure IP™ architecture, the RC15 connects directly to your network using a single PoE (Power over Ethernet) cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies or control panels while simplifying deployment and lowering infrastructure costs.
The RC15 supports a wide range of credential technologies, including Bluetooth®, NFC, 13.56 MHz smart cards, and 125 kHz proximity, making it ideal for facilities transitioning to mobile credentials or multi-technology environments. Its integrated keypad adds an additional layer of authentication for higher-security applications such as data centers, healthcare facilities, education campuses, and enterprise offices.
Designed for flexibility and performance, the RC15 delivers:
- All-in-one reader + controller + keypad functionality
- Single-gang mounting for clean, low-profile installations
- Real-time IP-based access control
- Seamless integration with open PACS platforms and cloud systems
- Reduced wiring and faster installation with PoE connectivity
Whether you’re upgrading legacy systems or deploying a new access control infrastructure, the Schlage RC15 offers a powerful, future-ready solution that combines security, convenience, and scalability in one device.
Overview The Schlage® RC is an IP reader controller that combines patented Pure IP™ access control technology together with Schlage's intelligent hardware, delivering a cost-effective all-in-one edge device that easily integrates into open PACS solutions. The Schlage RC connects to existing IT networks via a single PoE cable; reducing installation time and eliminating the need to run separate power to the door. The Schlage RC provides real-time connectivity with local mode feature, and can be managed in the same system as Schlage NDE and LE wireless locks. Three models are available to allow for common mounting options; creating a simple install process at each door. § RC11: Mullion mount, multi-technology IP reader controller § RC15: Single gang mount, multi-technology IP reader controller § RCK15: Single gang mount, multi-technology IP reader controller with keypad Schlage RC reader controllers provide both a modern look and an advanced feature set. Designed with technology to support Bluetooth, NFC (Near Field Communication), smart credentials (13.56 MHz) and standard proximity credentials (125 kHz); end users can define their migration path to secure credentials. Features and benefits § Host and local modes supported - Host mode allows for real time connectivity where the host makes real time decisions for access, LED and buzzer sequencing, etc. Should the connection drop, the device will switch to local mode. - Local mode allows the Schlage RC to function without a connection to the network. This results in faster user response times, less network traffic, and reduced host system loading. § Reader controllers support 125 kHz proximity, 13.56 MHz smart technology, 2.4 GHz Bluetooth and Near Field Communication (NFC) § Tamper detection via accelerometer senses any type of altering and prevents a security breach with the reader. § Communication is secured using industry standard TLS 1.2 encryption § Supports network communication speeds of 10 or 100 mbps half or full duplex § Commission via ENGAGE™ mobile app for easy configuration § Three configurable inputs; Door Position (DPS), Request to Exit (REX), and Auxiliary (AUX) § Mullion, wall mount and wall mount with keypad form factors § Credential parity with Schlage readers and wireless locks; ISONAS credential parity is a factory orderable option § Accommodates interior, exterior, metal and non-metal installation environments.
