ZKTeco KR503 Large-Format RFID Card Reader (Wiegand or RS485)

Overview

The ZKTeco KR503 is the large-format card reader in the KR500 family, with a 116 × 75 mm face that gives a bigger target area. That helps where people present a card without looking: a gloved hand at a factory door, or a driver reaching out of a car window at a gate. It is available with Wiegand output for third party panels or RS485 for ZKTeco InBio controllers, in 125 kHz (E) and 13.56 MHz (M) versions.

Is it right for you?

• It suits a gate or factory door where a large, easy target matters more than a slim body.
• It is a reader only and needs a controller behind it.
• Choose the RS485 version for InBio160, InBio260 and InBio460 controllers, or the Wiegand version for other panels.
• Where space is tight, the KR500 does the same job in a 44 mm mullion body.

Key features

• Reads 125 kHz ID cards (E versions) or 13.56 MHz MIFARE S50/S70 cards (M versions).
• Card read in 200 ms or less, at up to 10 cm on E versions and 5 cm on M versions.
• Wiegand output, 26-bit on E and 34-bit on M, or RS485 to InBio controllers.
• IP65 textured ABS and PC housing rated -20 to 65 °C.
• Red and green LEDs with a beeper, and external LED and buzzer control inputs.
• 16 mm deep and 120 g, so it still mounts flat on a wall or post. Runs on 6 to 14 V DC at up to 70 mA.

What else you need

• An access controller: InBio160, InBio260 or InBio460 for the RS485 version, or any panel with a Wiegand input for the Wiegand version.
• A 6 to 14 V DC feed, usually from the panel.
• A lock and an exit button for the door.

Installation

An access control installer should fit it. The reader mounts flat on a wall or post and wires to the controller over Wiegand or RS485 with its DC feed.

Before you buy

• Choose E or M to match your card frequency, and Wiegand or RS485 to match your controller.
• It is a reader only.
