RF IDEAS AIR ID 82 RDR-7582AKU RFID Reader

13.56 MHz RFID desktop reader

The RF IDEAS AIR ID 82 RDR-7582AKU is a contactless smart-card reader that operates at 13.56 MHz. It reads iClass and MIFARE credentials used by over 500 million cards, tags and labels. The device draws power from a USB port and requires no external supply. It is intended for organisations that want to extend existing building badges to new applications.

USB-powered integration for SSO and attendance

The reader connects through a single USB connector and uses a callable DLL rather than keystroke emulation. This lets developers embed card-data retrieval directly into single-sign-on, time-and-attendance or other custom software. The desktop form factor measures 4.2" x 2.5" x .8" and weighs .45 lbs, so it fits on a counter or workstation without crowding other peripherals.

Suited for developers adding badge-based workflows

The DLL interface suits teams building or integrating software that consumes credential data programmatically. Buyers who need a reader that simply types a card number into any text field should look elsewhere, because the 82 Series does not use keystroking. Environments outside the -22 °F to 150 °F operating range or above 95 % humidity are also not a fit.
