KR601M+IC access reader for outdoor entry systems

The ZKTECO KR601M+IC reads ID and M1 cards at up to 10 cm range with 26 or 34 bit Wiegand output. It operates on 9 to 12 V DC and draws a maximum of 70 mA. The IP65 rated ABS+PC housing withstands temperatures from -20 °C to +65 °C.

Steady current draw and environmental tolerance

The unit maintains a constant maximum draw of 70 mA across the full 9 to 12 V supply range while the dual LED and beeper provide continuous status feedback. Sealed to IP65 and rated for 10 to 90 percent humidity non-condensing, it sustains reliable reads through rain, dust and temperature swings without thermal throttling or current spikes.

Wiring and mounting checks before ordering

Verify that your controller accepts 26 or 34 bit Wiegand and can supply 9 to 12 V DC at 70 mA per reader. Confirm the 116 by 75 by 17.3 mm footprint fits the intended surface and that the two input ports for external LED and buzzer control match your wiring plan.

Questions about this item

How much current does the KR601 reader draw when it runs all day?

It operates from a single DC 9-12 V supply and draws a maximum of 70 mA.

What external connections must I provide for the KR601 to function?

You need a DC 9-12 V power source and a Wiegand 26/34 bit input on the controller; the reader also accepts optional external LED and buzzer control signals.

Will the KR601 work with my existing Wiegand 26-bit access controller?

Yes, the reader outputs both 26-bit and 34-bit Wiegand formats, so it is compatible with controllers expecting the 26-bit format.
