• Integration with ZKTeco standalone devices and control panels
• Outdoor installations requiring weather resistance

This reader may not be suitable for environments requiring high-security biometric authentication, as it relies solely on proximity card identification. Additionally, it is designed specifically for Wiegand-based systems and may not be compatible with non-Wiegand access control architectures without additional interface hardware.

Key specifications

• Frequency: 125KHz and 13.56MHz
• Ingress protection: IP65 waterproof
• Reading range: Up to 10cm for 125KHz
• Operating temperature: -10°C to +70°C
• Dimensions: 42.8mm x 16.5mm x 77.5mm
• Communication protocol: Wiegand

How to use

The ZKTeco KR310 is designed for straightforward installation as an external reader connected to a ZKTeco control panel or standalone access controller. Once mounted, the device communicates via the Wiegand protocol to verify credentials presented by users. The LED indicators will signal the status of the access request, providing immediate feedback to the user. Ensure the wiring is correctly connected to the controller inputs according to the technical documentation provided with your specific access control system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing access control panel supports Wiegand communication.
• Ensure the card technology used in your facility matches the 125KHz or 13.56MHz frequencies.
• Check the mounting surface to ensure it accommodates the device dimensions.

For optimal performance and longevity, ensure the reader is mounted securely and that all cable connections are properly sealed against moisture if installed in exposed outdoor locations.
