Dual-frequency USB card reader

The ZKTECO CR10 connects via USB and reads both 13.56MHz IC cards and 125KHz EM ID cards. It is intended for door access control and time-attendance systems in office environments. The device outputs the card serial number for integration with compatible software.

Read distance and voltage limits

The reader operates at a distance of 0 to 15 cm from the card. It requires a DC 12V supply drawing up to 60 mA. Operating temperature range is 0 to 60 degrees Celsius, while storage temperature spans -20 to 80 degrees Celsius.

Simple USB installation

Connection uses a standard USB interface with no extra cabling described in the data. The plastic housing measures 140 x 100 x 30 mm and weighs 130 g. Ensure the host system can provide the required 12V USB power; insufficient voltage is the typical cause of read failures.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the CR10M or CR10E model for my cards?

CR10M reads 13.56MHz IC cards while CR10E reads 125KHz EM ID cards; pick the one matching your card frequency.

What does the 15 cm read distance mean when the reader is mounted on a wall?

Cards can be detected up to 15 cm away, so users need only hold a badge near the unit without contact.

How does the USB interface limit the reader in a door access system?

USB connects the reader to a host PC for power and data, so the computer must stay on for access control to work.
