Generic WG26/34 125KHz RFID Contactless IP65 Smart Card Reader - ABS+PC Housing, Wiegand Output

The reader outputs data using the standard Wiegand protocol, configurable for either 26-bit or 34-bit format. You connect the DATA0 (Green) and DATA1 (White) wires from the reader's cable to the corresponding Wiegand input pins on your access control panel, Arduino (with a Wiegand library), or other microcontroller. The module also requires a 6-14V DC power supply connected to the V+ and GND wires.

This reader is compatible with common 125KHz passive RFID cards and tags that use the EM4100, TK4001, or compatible protocols. It is designed for read-only ID cards and does not support higher-frequency 13.56MHz MiFare or NFC cards. Ensure your cards operate at the 125KHz frequency for proper functionality.

Yes, the IP65 rating indicates the housing is dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for outdoor installation. However, for prolonged direct weather exposure, additional protective mounting (like an overhang) is recommended to extend the product's lifespan. The operating temperature range of -25°C to +75°C supports use in most climates.

The module has a dual-color LED (Red/Green) and a buzzer that provide feedback: typically, a green flash and beep indicate a successful card read, while a red flash indicates an error or no read. The reader includes two input ports (often labeled LED and Buzzer control) that allow an external system (like a central controller) to manually activate or disable these indicators for customized system behavior.
