- Compact physical profile
- 16V DC power compatibility
Deployment / Use Cases
The ProdataKey RK reader is designed for commercial and institutional access control applications where security requirements demand flexible authentication options. Its dual-function capability makes it particularly valuable in environments requiring mixed credential strategies.
Typical installations include corporate offices requiring both employee card access and visitor code entry, educational facilities with varied user groups, healthcare environments with different security zones, and light industrial settings where environmental protection is needed. The compact dimensions allow for installation on standard door frames and mounting surfaces without requiring extensive modification.
Commercial Office Security
Ideal for office buildings requiring both employee card access and temporary visitor codes. The dual authentication supports permanent staff with proximity cards while allowing temporary access via numeric codes for contractors or visitors.
Educational & Institutional Access
Suitable for schools and universities where different user groups require varied access methods. Faculty can use proximity cards while students or temporary staff utilize code-based access with scheduled validity periods.

FAQ
What identification methods does the ProdataKey RK reader support?
The RK reader supports dual identification methods: proximity card reading at 13.56MHz frequency and numeric keypad code entry. This allows organizations to implement either card-based access, code-based access, or a combination of both authentication methods depending on their security requirements and user preferences.
What is the operating range for the proximity functionality?
The proximity reading functionality has an operating range of 4 inches (101.60 millimeters). This range provides convenient access while maintaining security by requiring users to present their credential in close proximity to the reader, preventing accidental or unauthorized activation from greater distances.
What environmental protection does the IP55 rating provide?
The IP55 rating indicates the reader is protected against dust ingress that could interfere with operation and against water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for installations in environments where occasional moisture exposure or dust accumulation may occur, though it is not designed for continuous immersion or high-pressure water exposure.
What connectivity options are available for system integration?
The RK reader offers both Wiegand interface for traditional wired access control system integration and Bluetooth for wireless connectivity. The Wiegand output works with standard access control panels and controllers, while Bluetooth enables wireless configuration, mobile device integration, and potential future connectivity enhancements.
What power requirements does this reader have?
The reader operates on 16 volts DC input power, which is compatible with standard access control power supplies commonly used in security installations. This voltage specification ensures reliable operation with typical access control system power infrastructure without requiring specialized power conversion equipment.
What are the physical dimensions and weight of the RK reader?
The RK reader measures 5.10 inches (129.54 mm) in height, 3.25 inches (82.55 mm) in width, and 0.71 inches (18.03 mm) in depth, with an approximate weight of 320.3 grams. These compact dimensions allow for installation on standard door frames and mounting surfaces while maintaining a low-profile appearance that doesn't protrude significantly from the mounting surface.
