Description

The R20DC RFID reader is a versatile proximity sensor module that combines two common radio frequency identification standards into a single compact device. It operates on a +5V DC supply provided via its USB connection, drawing approximately 70mA, and communicates using a standard 9600 bps baud rate for serial data output. The reader outputs the unique serial number of a presented RFID card or tag directly as keyboard wedge data, making it compatible with any text field or software without requiring custom drivers on supported operating systems.

Its slim form factor (95mm x 60mm x 10mm) allows for discreet integration into kiosks, turnstiles, or desktop setups. The device is engineered for reliable operation in access control, time attendance, and inventory management applications, providing a straightforward interface between physical RFID credentials and digital management systems.

Key Features

  • Dual-frequency 125KHz/13.56MHz RFID reader supports a broad range of common card types.
  • USB HID keyboard emulation enables plug-and-play compatibility with Windows, Linux, and Android systems.
  • Integrated buzzer and multi-color LED offer immediate user feedback for successful reads.
  • Optimized antenna design delivers a consistent reading distance of up to 8cm.
  • Robust ABS plastic housing ensures durability for daily use in office and industrial environments.
  • Low 70mA power consumption allows for reliable bus-powered operation from any standard USB port.
  • Includes a 1-meter USB cable for flexible installation and immediate deployment.

Applications

  • Office and apartment building access control and door entry systems.
  • Employee time and attendance logging for workforce management.
  • Library asset tracking and inventory management.
  • PC login security and two-factor authentication setups.
  • Prototyping RFID-based identification for maker projects and kiosks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of RFID cards are compatible with the R20DC reader?

The R20DC reader is primarily compatible with 13.56MHz ISO14443A standard cards, specifically Mifare Classic 1K (S50) and Mifare Classic 4K (S70) cards. For the 125KHz frequency, it supports EM4100-compatible cards and tags. Cards are not included and must be purchased separately based on your application's frequency requirement.

How do I connect and use this RFID reader with my computer?

Simply connect the reader to an available USB port on your Windows PC, Linux machine, or Android device (using an OTG adapter) using the included cable. The reader emulates a USB HID keyboard. Open a text editor like Notepad, present a compatible RFID card within 8cm of the reader, and the card's UID will be automatically typed out as a string of characters.

What is the power requirement and communication protocol for this device?

The reader is powered directly from the USB port, requiring a standard +5V DC supply and drawing approximately 70mA. It communicates via a virtual COM port (VCP) or as a keyboard wedge device at a fixed baud rate of 9600 bps. No external drivers are needed for basic keyboard emulation functionality on most operating systems.

Can this reader be used for door access control systems?

Yes, the R20DC is commonly used as an input device for access control systems. Its keyboard wedge output can be integrated with access control software running on a PC to grant or deny entry. For standalone systems, you would need a microcontroller (like an Arduino) to parse the serial data from its VCP interface and control a relay or lock mechanism.
