AAS / Security Brand 27-215 Edge E1 Keypad + Intercom .
The Security Brands 27-215 Edge E1 + Intercom is a smart access-control keypad designed for entry points that need code entry plus visitor communication. Instead of a simple relay keypad, the Edge series adds Bluetooth connection to a mobile administrator app so managers can program users, update settings, review events, and handle access schedules more efficiently. This makes the 27-215 a stronger choice for sites where a basic keypad no longer provides enough control.
This model is the Edge E1 keypad-with-intercom version. It is commonly used as a post-mounted gate entry unit, but it can also be part of a broader access-control setup when the site wiring and controller design support it. The 27-215 should not be confused with Edge E2 card-reader-only models or Edge E3 keypad/card-reader models. Match the customer need - keypad, card reader, HID, SecurePass, Secura Key, intercom, and Wiegand input - before ordering.

Technician Note
Use the 27-215 when keypad access and intercom communication are both needed. If the site needs built-in card reading, look at the correct Edge E2 or Edge E3 reader/keypad model instead of trying to adapt the E1 keypad page.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the desired Edge model is 27-215, not 27-210, 27-220, 27-225, 27-230, or another Edge variant
- Confirm whether the site needs keypad-only access or card/fob access also
- Verify power, relay outputs, Wiegand accessory wiring, and intercom/base station wiring
- Confirm Bluetooth app administration is acceptable for the property manager
- Check post-mount space, conduit entry, and enclosure clearance
Professional Advisory
Access-control wiring should be planned before replacement. A qualified gate or access-control technician should verify relay, Wiegand, intercom, and power wiring so the unit is not damaged during installation.
Important Ordering Warnings
- Do not order 27-215 if the customer needs a built-in HID, SecurePass, or Secura Key card reader.
- Edge model numbers are close; verify the exact model before replacing an existing unit.
