Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What card types are compatible with this RFID access control reader?
A: This reader supports both EM (125kHz) and Mifare (13.56MHz) cards and fobs — commonly labeled as IC or ID cards. This dual-protocol compatibility makes it highly versatile for most existing access control setups.
Q: Is this RFID reader truly suitable for outdoor use in all weather conditions?
A: Yes. The reader carries an IP68 waterproof rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand prolonged exposure to water. Its operating temperature range of -45°C to 60°C makes it suitable for extreme climates as well.
Q: How do I switch between WG26 and WG34 output formats?
A: Switching between Wiegand WG26 and WG34 output is handled via the gray wire (Wire No. 7). Connect or configure it according to the instructions in the included user manual to select your preferred output protocol.
Q: What voltage is required to power this access control reader?
A: The reader operates on 9–12V DC power. Connect the red wire (+12V) and black wire (GND) to your power supply accordingly. Most standard access control power supplies are compatible.
Q: What is the typical card read range for this RFID reader?
A: The effective read range is approximately 3–8 cm, depending on the card type and environmental conditions. This close-range design ensures accurate, intentional reads at access points.
