CR20 Series EM/Mifare USB Reader – Compact, High‑Speed RFID Access
Description
The CR20 Series EM/Mifare USB Reader delivers fast, reliable contactless card access in a convenient, plug‑and‑play form factor. Designed for reading (CR20E/M) and writing (CR20M/W) proximity cards, these USB-powered readers are perfect for access control, data input, and time attendance systems.Effortless Integration: Plug‑and‑play USB connectivity ensures seamless setup—no drivers required for most Windows environments.
-
Fast Transactions & Responsive Indicators: High‑speed reads in ≤ 200 ms paired with dual-color LED indicators and buzzer feedback help ensure smooth user interactions.
-
Supports Multiple Models:
-
CR20E: Reads 125 kHz EM cards—up to 5 cm range.
-
CR20M: Reads 13.56 MHz Mifare cards—up to 3–5 cm range.
-
CR20M/W: Reads and writes 13.56 MHz Mifare cards; includes communication protocol for development.
-
-
Built Tough & Compatible: Crafted from textured ABS+PC, the reader is durable for daily use. Compatible with Windows and certain access panels like ZKTeco’s InBio series.
-
Wide Operating Range: Operating temperature ranges from –20 °C to 65 °C (or –10 °C to 70 °C depending on region) with humidity tolerance up to 90% non‑condensing.
-
Flexible Output Options: Models provide RS485 output or keyboard-emulation for easy data handling.
