Secure access with 13.56 MHz RFID cards (Mifare)

The reader supports 13.56 MHz RFID technology (Mifare standard chips), reading proximity cards and key fobs with a read range of 0–5 cm. After connecting it to an electric lock or door controller, presenting a valid card grants instant access to the secured area. The Wiegand 34 interface makes integration straightforward — the reader connects easily to any access controller, time attendance recorder, or other Wiegand-compatible device located indoors. Note that 125 kHz cards (EM standard) are not supported by this model.

Compact design, simple outdoor mounting

The SecureEntry-CR20HF is designed for effortless installation. Its compact dimensions (120 × 48 × 20 mm) and low weight (105 g) allow it to be mounted discreetly next to any door frame or gate post. The included mounting kit (studs and screws) and straightforward wiring with the integrated cable make setup quick and clean. Power supply accepts 9–18V DC with a typical current draw of just 50 mA.

Integrated time attendance and access control

A typical deployment places the SecureEntry-CR20HF outdoors while a time attendance recorder or access controller is installed indoors. Employees badge in at the outdoor reader and the data is instantly transferred to the indoor device via the Wiegand 34 cable. This makes the CR20HF an excellent front-end reader for biometric terminals, dedicated door controllers, and visitor management systems. The reader does not store user data itself — all rules and logs are managed by the controller.

Frequently asked questions

Is the SecureEntry-CR20HF a standalone access controller or just a reader?

The SecureEntry-CR20HF is a reader only — it reads the card UID and sends it via the Wiegand 34 interface to a separate access controller or time attendance recorder. It does not make access decisions on its own and does not store user data. You need a compatible controller (e.g. a Wiegand-capable time recorder or door controller) to define access rules.

What cards are compatible with the SecureEntry-CR20HF?

The reader works with 13.56 MHz RFID cards and key fobs using Mifare standard chips (Mifare Classic, Mifare DESFire, and compatible). These are widely used in modern office and building access systems. Cards operating at 125 kHz (EM standard, HID Prox) are not supported by this model.

Can the SecureEntry-CR20HF be used outdoors year-round?

Yes. The IP66-rated housing provides full protection against dust and strong water jets, while the operating temperature range of -25°C to 60°C makes it suitable for year-round outdoor use in most climates. It is designed for permanent outdoor mounting next to doors, gates, and barriers.

What is the difference between SecureEntry-CR20HF and SecureEntry-CR10LF?

The main difference is the RFID frequency: the CR20HF reads 13.56 MHz cards (Mifare), while the CR10LF reads 125 kHz cards (EM standard). The CR20HF also uses a Wiegand 34 interface (more bits, higher security) compared to the CR10LF’s Wiegand 26. Both share the same IP66-rated housing and are designed for outdoor installation.
