WM-5000ES iButton Guard Tour System

iButton guard tour reader with flashlight, no data downloader needed

The WM-5000ES is a contact-type (iButton/TM) guard tour reader with no data downloader — data goes straight to a PC over the magnetic USB cable. It integrates contact reading, magnetic waterproof USB, flashlight, drop-logging, 200 alarms and a pedometer in one unit, with a triple-protected board and a SUS201 stainless-steel belt clip for easy carry. Gold-plated contacts lift read speed by 20%.

Inquire Now

Are you facing these problems too?

  • Do you have guards on patrol at your site — and any way to prove they actually walked every route?
  • At 2 a.m., is he really patrolling — or asleep in a corner? Without a record, you simply cannot tell.
  • Dark corners are the easiest to skip — a guard with no light will not walk them. A built-in flashlight means the route gets walked, and seen.

Is this the right system for you?

  • Night-shift security guards must patrol unlit areas — they need light and a guard tour reader in one hand, not two.
  • You do not want a comm base on the desk — data can go straight to the PC by cable.
  • You are a security company that must hand clients verifiable patrol records.

1

Patrol the route

Along the route, the reader touches each iButton checkpoint. Every scan is time-stamped and cannot be forged.

3
Shift handover

The incoming guard reads his own guard key — the whole shift is accountable by name.

4
Upload & reports

After the patrol, connect the reader to the PC with the magnetic USB cable and extract the data in the software. Managers get route, time, personnel and event reports.

Checkpoint buttons and guard keys

Everything above is the reader and the software. These two parts are what is actually screwed to the wall and carried in a pocket — and they decide whether the records are worth anything.

iButton checkpoint button

A stainless iButton chip in a plastic wall plate, held by two screws. The reader has to touch it — no radio energy in the area, which is why this is the version used around fuel and chemicals.

  • ✓Read-only DS1990A-F5 chip: the code is written at the factory and cannot be copied or edited.
  • ✓Two screws instead of adhesive — the plate cannot be peeled off or quietly moved to another door.
  • ✓Drill two 6 mm holes, push in the plugs, screw the plate down.
  • ✓No battery and no radio: safe where a spark matters.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Practical answers about guard tour readers, selection and deployment.

What does the WM-5000ES include, and which parts are paid?
The WM-5000ES is a complete guard tour system: guard tour reader, its data downloader or USB data cable (see the What-is-in-the-system table on this page), checkpoint buttons, guard Keys and the Guard tour management System (Windows) — each quoted as a separate paid item so you buy only what you need. Every reader ships with one carrying pouch and one charger (one per reader; extra pouches or chargers are optional paid accessories), and one data cable per system. Checkpoint buttons are sized per patrol route and guard Keys per guard.
What warranty does the WM-5000ES come with?
Every JWM guard tour reader includes a 6-year warranty, 24-hour response and free Guard tour management System upgrades.
Can the WM-5000ES be OEM or custom branded?
Yes. We provide white-label and custom guard tour readers with your logo, firmware and packaging; finished products from 1 unit.
Is the WM-5000ES waterproof, shockproof and tamper-proof?
Yes. Every JWM reader is sealed against water and dust, rated -40°C to +85°C, and built drop- and tamper-resistant with rubber-jacket and multi-layer silicone cushioning; patrol data is retained for over 20 years. See the Specifications table for each model’s exact rating.
Is the WM-5000ES in stock, and how fast do you ship?
Yes — regular models are in stock for orders up to 500 sets. We ship within 3 working days after payment via FedEx, DHL or UPS, and delivery takes about 5-8 working days worldwide. Shipments are DDU: the consignee may need to support import clearance and pay import duties. LOGO-customized orders are quoted after we confirm the customization details.
Is the WM-5000ES safe for explosive environments?
Yes. As an iButton Guard Tour Reader it touches a checkpoint button and emits no RF energy, making it intrinsically safe for oil, gas and chemical zones.
Does the WM-5000ES need a battery in the checkpoint button?
No. The checkpoint button (iButton) is passive and powered by the reader on contact; it stores its unique ID permanently.
Which checkpoint buttons and guard Keys does the WM-5000ES use?
It pairs with WM-90A iButton checkpoint buttons and WM-90S guard Keys. Depending on the model, the system also includes a Data Downloader (WM-5000T/TE/DT series) or a direct USB transmit Cable — see the What-is-in-the-system table on this page.
Does the WM-5000ES need a Data Downloader?
No — it is the contact model that works without one. The magnetic gold-plated USB cable connects straight to the PC for data offload.
How strong is the WM-5000ES flashlight?
120-130 lm with a 20-30 m beam, and it runs up to 7 hours — enough to patrol unlit areas all night.
How long does the WM-5000ES battery last?
The 700 mAh battery gives about 110 days of standby on 500 reads per day, and fully recharges in 2 hours.
What is drop-logging on the WM-5000ES?
The reader records impact events. If a guard throws or knocks the device, the log shows it — a strong deterrent against deliberate damage.
What is the pedometer for?
It tracks the steps between two checkpoints, adding a second layer of proof that the route was actually walked.
