The USB keyboard wedge proximity reader connects to a PC/laptop via USB. It reads the code from an RFID transponder and outputs the code in the form of keystrokes, enabling the user to capture the transponder code into any PC application which accepts keyboard entry.
A 10-way DIP switch on the back of the unit is used to select the required output formats which include hexadecimal or decimal digits with or without leading zeros and Wiegand formats with selectable 40-bit, 32-bit, 24-bit or 16-bit number. A green LED and a beeper are used to indicate a successful read and a red LED indicates an error condition.
The reader has a type B USB socket and when connected to the PC the device enumerates as a human interface device (HID) class device. The unit is powered from the USB bus and the current consumption is typically 60 mA.
The reader can be used with all proximity access control and time recording systems, but is also suitable for a wide range of RFID applications, where data from cards and tags needs to be collected.
