KR901

ZKTeco KR901 Series: Compact Outdoor Access Control RFID Reader

In modern access control, security turnstile integrations, and commercial building management, deploying reliable, weatherproof RFID card readers with broad controller compatibility is essential. The ZKTeco KR901 Series (comprising KR901E for 125 kHz EM Proximity cards and KR901M for 13.56 MHz Mifare IC cards) is engineered to provide fast, contactless credential verification in space-constrained installations.

High-Speed RFID Reading and Wiegand Interface

Designed for seamless integration with ZKTeco access controllers and third-party control panels, the KR901 Series utilizes standard Wiegand protocols (26-bit for EM and 34-bit for Mifare models). It provides high-speed card reading performance with a response time under 200 ms and an effective read range of up to 10 cm for 125 kHz cards and 5 cm for 13.56 MHz cards.

Compact Surface-Mount Design and IP65 Enclosure

Featuring a sleek square form factor measuring 86 x 86 x 16.3 mm, the reader mounts easily onto standard gang boxes, wall surfaces, and metal posts. Encased in durable ABS+PC plastic rated to IP65 ingress protection, it ensures long-term operational stability in harsh outdoor environments subject to rain, dust, and temperature extremes from -20°C to 65°C.

Integrated Visual/Audible Indicators and Protection

The KR901 includes a dual-color LED (Red/Green) and an internal audio beeper to give clear status feedback to users upon card presentation. For maximum installer safety and field reliability, it integrates built-in reverse polarity protection to prevent electrical damage during installation wiring errors.
