RFID 125 kHz USB enroll reader

The RF IDEAS pcProx Enroll Series RDR-6E81AKU is a USB-connected RFID reader operating at 125 kHz. It reads EM 410X and Rosslare credentials and draws power directly from the host USB port. The compact enclosure measures 3.40" by 2.00" by 0.60" and weighs 0.25 lb. It is suited for desktop enrollment stations that need to register existing proximity cards into new software systems.

Suited for indoor enrollment workflows

This reader fits integrators adding badge enrollment to identity management, time-and-attendance or logical-access platforms. It works across a wide temperature range from -22 °F to 150 °F and 5 % to 95 % non-condensing humidity. It is not for deployments that need contactless smart-card support or ruggedised outdoor housings. Buyers needing multi-frequency operation should look at a different device.

Single specification: 125 kHz operating frequency

The reader communicates only at 125 kHz, so it will only read credentials that operate at that frequency. Verify that your existing cards or fobs are EM 410X or Rosslare compatible before purchasing. If your credential population uses a different frequency, this unit will not read them.

Questions about this item

Will the 125 kHz USB reader work with my existing EM 410X cards?

The reader supports EM 410X and Rosslare formats at 125 kHz, so your current proximity cards will be recognised without reprogramming.

How can I verify the reader is active once plugged in?

The device draws power from the USB port; when the host enumerates the HID keyboard interface the reader is ready to output card IDs.

Does the package include a mounting bracket or do I need to buy one?

The box contains only the reader and its integrated USB cable; no bracket or separate power supply is supplied.
