Waterproof IP65 Card Reader

The ZKTECO KR101E/M KR101M is a waterproof access control reader rated IP65 for outdoor installation. It reads 125KHz proximity cards and 13.56MHz Mifare IC cards. The unit outputs standard Wiegand 26/34bit signals to controllers. It operates on DC 5-16V power with reverse polarity protection.

Simple Mounting on Metal Frames

The compact 78*43*16mm ABS+PVC housing fits narrow mullions and metal door frames. Solid epoxy injection seals the electronics against moisture. Wiring uses the Wiegand interface with external LED and buzzer control lines. The built-in double-colour LED and loudspeaker give immediate visual and audible feedback for allowed or denied access.

Suited for Outdoor Single-Door Access

This reader suits installers needing a rugged, weatherproof device for one entry point with Wiegand controllers. It is not for buyers who want multi-door controller integration, long-range hands-free reading beyond 15cm, or a unit powered by Power over Ethernet.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the ZKTECO KR101E/M KR101M reader is working correctly after wiring it to the controller?

Apply DC12V power; the built-in dual-colour LED should light and the internal buzzer will sound. Present a valid 13.56 MHz Mifare card within 15 cm — the LED changes colour and the buzzer tone shifts to indicate access granted, while the controller receives 26-bit or 34-bit Wiegand data up to 100 m away.

What comes in the box with the ZKTECO KR101E/M KR101M and what must I source separately?

The reader itself (78×43×16 mm, ABS+PVC, IP65) with integrated dual-colour LED and buzzer is supplied. You must provide a DC 5–16 V power supply (typically 12 V), Wiegand cable to the controller, mounting hardware for metal door frames or mullions, and 13.56 MHz Mifare credentials.

Which version should I choose — the E series or the M series — for my installation?

Select the E series when you need up to 10 cm read range with 125 kHz proximity cards, or the M series for up to 5 cm range with 13.56 MHz Mifare cards; both share IP65 waterproofing, -10 °C to 70 °C operation, 26/34-bit Wiegand output and 100 m communication distance.
