Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this RFID USB keypad reader require any special drivers to install?
A: No — this reader uses the USB HID (Human Interface Device) protocol, making it a true plug-and-play device. Simply connect it to a USB port on your computer or Android device and it will be recognized automatically. No additional drivers are needed on Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10, Linux, or Android.
Q: What types of RFID cards are compatible with this 13.56MHz reader?
A: This reader supports all ISO 14443A standard contactless cards, including Mifare Classic M1 S50 and S70, FM1108, MF Plus 4-bit, NTAG213, NTAG215, NTAG216, DESFire, and Ultralight chips. It outputs the card's UID both in decimal and hexadecimal format for easy integration with software systems.
Q: What is the maximum card reading distance for this RFID keypad reader?
A: The effective reading distance is 0 to 5 cm. For best results, hold the card within a few centimeters of the reader's scanning area. The read time is under 100ms, ensuring a fast and responsive experience.
Q: Can this RFID reader be used for both card scanning and PIN entry?
A: Yes. The integrated numeric keypad allows users to enter a PIN code in addition to scanning an RFID card, making it suitable for two-factor verification setups where both a card and a numeric code are required for access.
