The Mircom TX3-CX-1NP-256 is a single-door access controller in the TX3 family. It manages one entry point, with optional networking to other TX3 controllers via RS-485 or TCP/IP.
First, the controller mounts directly to a single-gang electrical box. Then, it powers up over 12 VDC, 24–48 VDC, or PoE-capable input on the base platform. As a result, integrators can drop a TX3 access node into a wiring closet without building a separate enclosure.
Mircom TX3-CX-1NP-256 — Verified Capabilities
- Controls one door (built-in 125 kHz proximity reader on the TX3-CX-1 base hardware)
- Accepts one optional external Wiegand reader for two-sided access
- Two programmable Form C relays (24 VAC/DC, 2 A)
- Four supervised EOL inputs (RTE, door position switch, battery trouble, general purpose)
- 26-bit Wiegand and generic Wiegand card formats
- 12 V / 500 mA solid-state output for DC door strikes
- LED diagnostics: trouble, alarm, access granted, access denied
- Tamper detection on the controller and on the comm cable
- Programming via local USB or remotely via TCP/IP
- Operating temperature: 0–40 °C (32–104 °F)
- Networks up to 63 nodes per RS-485 loop; essentially unlimited over TCP/IP
Where the TX3-CX-1NP-256 Fits
Specifically, this controller suits small-to-medium commercial buildings, condo amenity rooms, IT closets, and tenant suite doors. In addition, the single-gang form factor cuts install time on retrofits. Therefore, building owners get networked access control without a panel-grade enclosure.
