IP68 Waterproof RFID Card Reader | Wiegand 26/34 | 125kHz & 13.56MHz

Asia-Teco UP002 IP68 Waterproof RFID Proximity Card Reader

The Asia-Teco UP002 is a heavy-duty, IP68-rated RFID proximity card reader designed for reliable access control in demanding indoor and outdoor environments. Supporting both 125 kHz (EM) and 13.56 MHz (Mifare) card technologies, it delivers versatile compatibility with most access control systems via its standard Wiegand 26/34 output. Built from high-quality ABS plastic with a fully weatherproof housing, this slave card reader is the perfect addition to gates, doors, and secured entry points exposed to rain, dust, or moisture.

Please Note: This is a slave card reader only — it does not store user data and cannot independently add or delete cards, passwords, or fingerprint profiles. It must be paired with a standalone access control board, fingerprint attendance machine, or compatible access controller to function as a complete system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What types of RFID cards are compatible with the UP002 card reader?

A: The UP002 supports both 125 kHz EM proximity cards (with a reading range of 5–6 cm) and 13.56 MHz Mifare smart cards (with a reading range of 3–5 cm), making it compatible with a wide range of standard access control card formats.

Q: Can the UP002 work as a standalone access control unit?

A: No — the UP002 is a slave card reader only. It does not store user data or manage card enrollment independently. It must be connected to a standalone access control board, fingerprint attendance machine, or a compatible controller that handles user management and door lock operation.

Q: Is the UP002 suitable for outdoor installation?

A: Yes. The UP002 carries an IP68 waterproof rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust and capable of withstanding prolonged water immersion. This makes it an excellent choice for outdoor gates, building entrances, and other exposed environments.

Q: What output protocol does the UP002 use?

A: The UP002 uses the standard Wiegand 26/34 (WG26/34) output protocol, which is universally supported by the vast majority of access control panels, controllers, and attendance systems on the market.
