Product Features
Technical Overview
The R40-H reader operates with a maximum range of 3.10 inches (78.74 mm), allowing for convenient card presentation without direct physical contact in contactless mode. This range balances user convenience with security by minimizing unintended reads. The cable connectivity ensures a stable and secure connection to access control panels, reducing wireless interference risks.
This reader is built to handle the demands of continuous operation in secure facilities. Its contact interface supports ISO 7816 compliant smart cards, while the contactless interface works with 13.56 MHz RFID credentials, including those used in federal PIV programs. The dual-media capability future-proofs installations by accommodating legacy and modern card technologies.
