ZKTeco KR201E: Slim Outdoor Mullion-Mount RFID Proximity Reader

In commercial access control setups, turnstile integrations, and narrow door frame installations, deploying compact slave card readers with seamless controller compatibility is essential. The ZKTeco KR201E is an advanced Wiegand proximity card reader engineered to deliver quick, contactless credential verification for entry and exit points.

125 kHz Proximity Reading and Standard Wiegand Output

Designed for effortless integration with ZKTeco access controllers (such as the C3, InBio, and Atlas series) as well as third-party control panels, the KR201E operates on the 125 kHz frequency (EM ID cards). It transmits card data using standard Wiegand 26-bit protocol, offering rapid card detection in under 300 ms with an effective read range of up to 10 cm.

Slim Mullion-Mount Profile and IP65 Weatherproof Enclosure

Featuring a narrow rectangular form factor measuring 84.5 x 44 x 16.8 mm and weighing just 55 g, the reader easily mounts directly onto narrow aluminum door mullions, posts, and compact wall areas. Encased in high-durability textured ABS+PC material rated to IP65 ingress protection, it guarantees reliable operation across tough outdoor environments and extreme temperatures from -20°C to 65°C.

Visual/Audible Indicators and Reverse Polarity Protection

The KR201E includes dual-color status LED lights (Red/Green) and an internal acoustic buzzer, both controllable via external wiring inputs to provide clear user feedback during access attempts. For safe installation and high field reliability, the reader incorporates built-in reverse polarity protection to guard against accidental wiring errors.
