Fixed RFID Reader for Enrollment

The RF IDEAS RDR-62W1AKU is a fixed USB reader designed to manage employee identification and mustering. It suits time and attendance, training meetings and visitor management tasks. The device eliminates errors associated with manual or keystroke entry of individual IDs. It integrates with existing systems for streamlined enrolment workflows.

USB and PoE Power Limits

The reader operates as a USB self-powered device or via PoE, with serial RS-232 as an alternative power path. Typical current draw is 70 mA and maximum is 150 mA. Operation is rated from -30° to 65°C and storage from -40° to 85°C. Humidity tolerance spans 5% to 95% relative humidity, noncondensing.

Wall-Mount Installation Notes

The compact 4.3” x 2.5” x 0.35” form factor weighs 2.6 oz and mounts directly to a wall surface. USB connectivity allows simple plug-and-play setup on a host PC. Installers must ensure the chosen power source delivers sufficient current within the 150 mA peak. The fixed position requires careful site planning for badge presentation ergonomics.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the USB or the serial RS-232 version for my wall-mount enrollment reader?

The RDR-62W1AKU is a single model that offers USB self-powered, PoE and serial RS-232 power options in one unit, so you do not select between versions — you simply connect the interface your installation requires.

What does the 150 mA maximum current draw mean when the reader is plugged into a PC?

At peak operation the reader draws 150 mA from the host USB port, well within the standard USB current budget, so it operates without an external power adapter on most PCs and powered hubs.

Does the RS-232 interface cap the data rate or distance compared with USB?

The serial RS-232 connection is limited by the RS-232 standard itself, while USB and PoE provide higher throughput and simpler cabling for typical enrollment and mustering deployments.
