ZKTECO KR601 RFID Access Reader
The ZKTECO KR601 is a new IP65-rated RFID card reader built for door access control and attendance systems. It reads ID or M1 cards at up to 10 cm using a high-sensitivity RF circuit and embedded microcontroller. The unit delivers 26-bit or 34-bit Wiegand output and runs on 9–12 V DC at 70 mA maximum.
Installers needing Wiegand output
This reader suits projects that need a black ABS+PC housing rated IP65 for wall mounting at 116 by 75 by 17.3 mm. It is not for systems that require encrypted card technologies or multi-factor authentication beyond simple card presentation. Buyers needing integrated keypad or biometric verification should look at a different device.
26-bit or 34-bit Wiegand output format
The single specification that decides fit is the Wiegand output format, which must match the controller’s expected bit length. The reader provides two-colour LED indicators and a beeper for local feedback, plus two input ports for external LED and buzzer control. Operating range spans -20 °C to +65 °C at 10–90 % humidity.
