KR101 Waterproof Dual-Frequency Reader
The ZKTECO KR101 is a dual-frequency access control reader that supports 125KHz proximity cards and 13.56MHz Mifare credentials. It connects to controllers via standard Wiegand 26 or 34-bit output and is built for indoor or outdoor mounting on metal door frames. The unit is rated IP65 waterproof with an operating temperature range of -10°C to 70°C.
Wiegand Interface and Read Range Limits
Communication uses the Wiegand protocol over distances up to 100 metres to the controller. Proximity read range reaches up to 10cm for 125KHz cards and 5cm for 13.56MHz Mifare cards. The reader requires a DC 5-16V power supply, with 12V as standard, and includes reverse polarity protection for safer wiring.
Replaces Standalone Keypads or Indoor-Only Readers
This reader upgrades installations that previously relied on separate keypads or indoor-only proximity readers by combining dual-frequency card support with a weatherproof housing. The jump is worth it when a single device must serve both card types at an exposed entrance and integrate with existing Wiegand-based access controllers.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 125 kHz or 13.56 MHz version for my cards?
This single reader supports both frequencies; it reads 125 kHz proximity cards up to 10 cm and 13.56 MHz Mifare cards up to 5 cm.
What does the 10 cm read range mean when the unit is mounted on a door frame?
A 125 kHz card works up to 10 cm away; a 13.56 MHz Mifare card needs to be within 5 cm for reliable reads.
How does the Wiegand 26/34 bit interface limit cable length to my controller?
The Wiegand output is rated for up to 100 m communication distance to the controller.
