Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What access control panels is this RFID reader compatible with?
A: This reader uses the standard Wiegand WG26/WG34 protocol, which is supported by the vast majority of access control panels on the market. If your panel accepts a Wiegand input, this reader should integrate seamlessly.
Q: Can this RFID card reader be used outdoors?
A: Yes. The reader carries an IP68 waterproof rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand prolonged submersion in water. It also operates across an extreme temperature range of -45°C to +60°C, making it suitable for outdoor installation in virtually any climate.
Q: What types of cards does this reader support?
A: It supports 13.56MHz EM and Mifare (MF) proximity IC cards — two of the most common card standards used in commercial and residential access control systems worldwide.
Q: What power supply does the reader require?
A: The reader requires a DC 9–16V power supply and draws an idle current of ≤30mA, making it energy-efficient and easy to power from a standard access control power supply unit.
Q: How far away can the reader be installed from the access control panel?
A: The Wiegand data line supports a communication distance of up to 100 metres (approximately 328 feet) between the reader and the access control panel, giving you flexible installation options.
