Buyer's notes

How to choose wiegand card & keypad readers

These readers connect to any controller with a Wiegand input. Most families come in capability tiers, so one housing covers several card types:

  • 125 kHz EM: EM4100/EM4200-family cards and fobs, Wiegand 26/34.
  • 13.56 MHz UID: serial numbers of MIFARE Classic, Ultralight, DESFire, NTAG and CPU cards.
  • Secure-read tiers: MIFARE sector or CPU-card data read with a card key, plus ISO/IEC 15693 UIDs and the iCLASS CSN only, with Wiegand 66 available.
  • FeliCa, LEGIC and dual-frequency versions on selected housings.

Most models are set up by presenting a configuration card (Wiegand length, read mode, card key, number format), so there are no DIP switches or PC tools to take to site. On many models, tying the yellow lead to GND fixes Wiegand 26.

Picking a housing

  • Mullion: 153 × 45 mm bars fit narrow frames and glass-door stiles (mullion reader).
  • Square: 86–93 mm housings suit 86-type wall boxes. Metal 93 mm and 120 × 80 mm versions are also offered.
  • Wet areas: IP67 epoxy-potted models, including rubber-key keypads, suit exposed doors.
  • Harsh sites: a metal multi-technology reader rated IP65 and –40 to +85 °C.
  • Other options: a glass-and-metal pair ships without a logo, and a large-frame 125 kHz reader works with dedicated thick cards in vehicle lanes.

Readers without a stated IP rating should be mounted indoors or under a cover. Before wiring, check D0/D1, LED and buzzer lines against How to Wire a Wiegand Card Reader.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose Wiegand 26 or Wiegand 34 output?

Match your controller. Wiegand 26 carries an 8-bit facility code and a 16-bit card number between two parity bits. Wiegand 34 carries 32 data bits, enough for a full 4-byte MIFARE UID without truncation. Most readers here switch between the two with a configuration card, and many can also be fixed at 26-bit by grounding a select lead.

Can one reader read both 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz cards?

Yes. Dual-frequency versions are offered in several housings, including slim ABS, 89.5 mm square, the IP67 86 mm keypad, glass-panel and multi-technology models. They read EM4100-family 125 kHz cards and 13.56 MHz MIFARE-family cards at the same door.

Do these readers read HID iCLASS or Seos credentials?

Upper-tier models read the iCLASS card serial number (CSN) only. They do not read protected iCLASS credential data, and Seos is not on the supported list. If your panel enrolled users by iCLASS credential number, the numbers will not match.

How does a keypad reader send the PIN to the controller?

The keypad version sends keypresses over the same Wiegand lines as card data, and the controller checks the PIN. Controllers expect different PIN formats, so tell us your controller model and we will confirm the PIN output before dispatch.
