Why the KR-500E RFID Wiegand Reader Stands Out

If you need a high-performance card reader that balances speed, range, and reliability, the KR-500E RFID Wiegand Reader is a top contender. Here’s what sets it apart:

  • Quick Authentication: Reads cards in 200ms, ensuring rapid entry
  • Strong Read Range: Up to 10cm for fast, contactless use
  • Flexible Output: Supports both 26-bit and 34-bit Wiegand formats
  • Weather-Resistant: IP65-rated enclosure for indoor and outdoor use
  • Universal Compatibility: Works with all 125KHz proximity cards and tags
  • Custom Control: Dual input ports for external LED and buzzer control

In short, it’s engineered for seamless integration with most access systems while maximizing ease of use and resilience.
