Opition: Select KR101E -ID Card

  • Read cards up to 10 cm away with 125 kHz proximity
  • Authenticate Mifare credentials at 13.56 MHz within 5 cm range
  • Integrate easily using 26 or 34 bit Wiegand output
  • Operate outdoors reliably with IP65 waterproof rating
  • Mount on metal frames measuring 78 by 43 by 16 mm

Outdoor Card Reader with IP65 Protection

The ZKTECO KR101E/M is a waterproof proximity card reader designed for outdoor access control systems. It operates at 13.56MHz for Mifare cards and 125KHz for proximity credentials with a read range up to 10cm. The unit supports standard Wiegand 26/34bit output for integration with controllers such as the C3 series. Its ABS+PVC housing with solid epoxy injection achieves an IP65 rating for reliable indoor or outdoor installation.

Sustained Operation in Harsh Environments

The reader functions across a temperature span of -10°C to 70°C and handles humidity from 10% to 90% without condensation. Reverse polarity protection guards the electronics during wiring, while the built-in buzzer and dual-colour LED provide continuous real-time feedback on access decisions. Power input accepts DC5-16V with a standard 12V supply, and communication remains stable over cable runs up to 100m. The compact 78mm by 43mm by 16mm profile fits metal door frames or mullions.

Replaces Non-Weatherproof Indoor Readers

This device upgrades installations where an indoor-only reader fails due to rain, dust or temperature extremes. It is not suited for projects requiring long-range hands-free detection beyond 15cm or multi-technology support beyond Mifare and 125KHz proximity. Sites needing anti-vandal metal housings or integrated keypad entry should specify a different model. The jump is worthwhile when the entry point is exposed to the elements and a compact IP65-rated Wiegand endpoint is required.

Questions about this item

Does the reader generate noticeable heat or noise when powered continuously at 12 V DC?

It draws power from a 5–16 V DC supply, typically 12 V, with no moving parts or fan, so heat and noise remain minimal during all-day operation.

What existing controller or wiring must I already have to use the Wiegand 26/34-bit output?

A compatible access controller with a Wiegand input — such as the C3 series — and a cable run up to 100 m for real-time communication.

Will the 125 kHz proximity and 13.56 MHz Mifare reads work alongside older 125 kHz-only badge readers on the same door?

Yes, the unit reads both 125 kHz proximity cards up to 10 cm and 13.56 MHz Mifare cards up to 5 cm, so it can replace or supplement legacy readers without changing credentials.
