  • Eliminates manual entry to reduce identification errors

Identity Reader

The RF IDEAS RDR-75W1AKU is a surface-mount USB device that reads 13.56 MHz card serial numbers for access-control and point-of-sale workflows. It targets organisations that want to replace manual ID entry with badge taps at workstations, kiosks or self-service terminals. The reader suits deployments where existing employee credentials must stay valid across multiple applications.

Supported Standards

The unit handles ISO 14443 and ISO 15693 card technologies, covering the majority of contactless badges already issued in corporate environments. It outputs the card serial number only, so any application requiring encrypted payloads or multi-sector data will need a different reader. Throughput matches typical enrolment and login volumes without queuing.

Connection Method

A single USB cable supplies both power and data, allowing direct attachment to PCs, thin clients or embedded controllers without an external supply. The surface-mount bracket fixes the reader to walls, panels or countertops for permanent installations. Buyers needing wireless, serial or Wiegand interfaces should select another model.

Questions about this item

Will the RDR-75W1AKU read the 13.56 MHz cards we already issue to staff?

Yes, it reads CSN from ISO 14443 and ISO 15693 cards at 13.56 MHz, so existing badges that follow those standards will work without re-issuance.

How can I confirm the reader is active after I mount it and plug in the USB cable?

The unit draws power from the USB port; when the host enumerates the device it will appear as a HID keyboard device, and presenting a known card should type the CSN into any text field.

Does the RDR-75W1AKU package include mounting hardware and a USB cable, or must I source them separately?

The reader is a surface-mount unit with a fixed USB tail; mounting screws and any wall anchors are not supplied and must be purchased separately.
