Salto Long Distance XS Reader.
The Long Distance XS Reader is Salto's UHF reader for vehicle access: it reads UHF credentials, windshield transponders, or on-metal tags at up to seven meters, so a gate opens without the driver lowering a window. It connects to a Salto XS4 controller (the CU4200 family) through a signal interface and shares the credential model, schedules, and audit trail of the wider system. Frequency is region-specific, so it is ordered to the local US, EU, or AU band.
Where this model fits
- Resort and hotel parking gates and garage entries
- Tenant and community parking control
- Gated yards and barrier access
Parent product line
Long Distance XS Reader is a configuration of the Salto Wall Reader product line. See the parent line page for the full credential stack, PMS integration list, and brand-standard notes that apply across every Salto Wall Reader configuration.
How this model is configured
Every Salto lock is composed to your doors during scoping: finish, mortise and function type, credential technology (BLE, NFC, RFID, with mag-stripe or PIN fallback where needed), and handing. RevKey confirms each selection at the site survey and configures the final composed part number with you, so the lock that ships matches your door prep and brand standard.

Where Long Distance XS Reader fits, and where it doesn’t
Best for
- Amenity and common-area access: pools, fitness, business centers, meeting rooms
- Elevator and restricted-floor access control
- Parking gates and mail rooms under one resident or guest credential
- Surface or flush mount, with design and glass face variants
Not ideal for
- Standalone door locking (a reader needs a controller plus a lock or strike)
- Battery-only installs where running low-voltage wiring is not possible
- Single-door projects better served by a self-contained electronic lock

Things to think about
Needs a controller and the right frequency band
The Long Distance reader is wired to a Salto XS4 controller via a signal interface and ships in US, EU, or AU frequency. Confirm the band for the install location and plan the controller and gate relay alongside it.
