TMR-01A Copper TM Probe with Guide Ring
The TMR-01 with a polymer guide ring — the ring helps guide the key onto the contact.
Mechanically the same chrome-plated copper contact as the TMR-01, with one addition that changes the user experience: a white polymer guide ring around the rim. The ring is designed to funnel the key onto the contact instead of letting it skid across a flat face, which matters at an entrance door where people present the key one-handed, in the dark, without looking. It is also intended to cushion the impact of a metal can hitting a metal face. Panel-mount body with a threaded neck and nut, 200 mm of 24 AWG red/black sheathed lead, no terminal fitted — cut and crimp to whatever your controller expects.

The guide ring is the whole point
A bare probe asks the user to aim; this one is designed to aim for them. The raised polymer ring catches the edge of the can and guides it toward the contact, which can make a first-touch read more likely — the difference between a resident who taps once and one who scrapes the key around the panel in the rain. It may help reduce "the reader is broken" call-outs that turn out not to be a reader fault at all; price against the plain TMR-01 is confirmed in the quote. Choose the plain TMR-01 where the panel already has a recess doing the same job, or the TMR-01-4P when you also need an LED.

Frequently asked questions
What does the guide ring actually improve?
It is designed to funnel the key onto the contact instead of letting it skid across a flat face, to help first-time landings when users present one-handed, in the dark, without looking. It is also designed to cushion a metal can striking the metal face thousands of times a year.
What are the mounting dimensions?
Ø24.0 mm face with Ø16.3 mm contact, 18.0 mm overall depth, 6.3 mm flange; panel mount through a Ø19.8 mm threaded neck with nut, 200 mm 24 AWG lead.
Can the ring colour be customised?
Ring colour, wire length, connector type and other customization options: feasibility, MOQ and cost are confirmed in the quote. The TMR-01 is the same probe without the ring if you prefer a bare face.
