IP68 Waterproof RFID Card Reader Wiegand 26/34 – UP002
Asia-Teco UP002 IP68 Waterproof RFID Proximity Card Reader
The Asia-Teco UP002 is a rugged, weatherproof RFID card reader designed for reliable access control in demanding environments. With an IP68 waterproof rating, it stands up to rain, dust, and outdoor exposure — making it an ideal slave reader for gates, doors, and secure entry points. It outputs standard Wiegand 26/34 data, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of access control panels and attendance systems.
Please Note: This is a slave card reader only — it cannot store user data, add/delete cards, passwords, or fingerprints independently. It must be paired with a compatible standalone access control board, fingerprint attendance machine, or similar access control host system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the UP002 RFID card reader work as a standalone access control device?
A: No — the UP002 is a slave/peripheral card reader only. It reads RFID cards and outputs data via Wiegand 26 or Wiegand 34 protocol to a host access control panel or attendance system. It cannot independently store user data, enroll cards, or control door locks on its own.
Q: What RFID card types does the UP002 support?
A: The UP002 is available in two variants: the UP002-EM reads 125 kHz EM/ID proximity cards, while the UP002-MF reads 13.56 MHz Mifare cards. Please select the correct model to match your existing card system.
Q: Is the UP002 suitable for outdoor installation?
A: Yes. The UP002 carries an IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating, making it fully suitable for permanent outdoor installation in rain, humidity, and dusty environments. Its durable plastic enclosure protects internal components from the elements.
Q: What voltage does the UP002 require?
A: The UP002 operates on 9–16V DC, which is standard for most access control systems. Ensure your power supply falls within this range for optimal performance.
Q: What is the reading range of this RFID reader?
A: The reading range is approximately 5–6 cm for 125 kHz EM cards and 3–5 cm for 13.56 MHz Mifare cards. Actual range may vary slightly depending on the card type and environmental conditions.
