Outdoor access reader

The ZKTECO KR Series is a waterproof card reader built for outdoor access control. It reads both 125KHz proximity cards and 13.56MHz Mifare credentials. The unit connects via standard Wiegand 26 or 34-bit output to compatible controllers. Its IP65 rating and epoxy-sealed ABS housing suit exposed mounting on door frames or mullions.

Dual-frequency range and voltage

At 125KHz the reader reaches up to 10cm; at 13.56MHz the range is 5cm. It operates on DC 5–16V with 12V typical, drawing minimal standby current. The Wiegand link runs up to 100 metres without signal degradation. Operating temperature spans -10°C to 70°C and humidity 10–90% non-condensing.

Replaces indoor-only readers

This model replaces indoor-only readers when an entrance moves outside or needs weather protection. The jump is worth it when a single reader must serve both low-frequency ID cards and high-frequency IC cards. It is not for installations that require encrypted OSDP communication or long-range hands-free detection beyond 15cm.

Questions about this item

Will the 26/34-bit Wiegand output work with my existing access controller?

The reader uses standard 26/34-bit Wiegand output, the default interface for most access control panels, so it connects directly to controllers that accept Wiegand signals.

How can I confirm the reader is operating correctly once mounted?

The built-in dual-colour LED shows green for granted access and red for denied access, while the internal buzzer sounds on each read, giving immediate visual and audible confirmation.

What comes in the box and do I need extra parts to install it outdoors?

The unit is supplied as a sealed IP65-rated reader with epoxy potting; mounting hardware and a 12 V DC power supply are not included and must be sourced separately.
