ZKTeco KR500-M RFID IC Card Reader Mifare 13.56MHz 34-bit Wiegand 5CM Read Range IP65 DC 6-14V Access Control

ZKTeco KR500-M is a compact, professional-grade RFID/IC card reader from ZKTeco’s trusted KR500 Series, designed for seamless integration into access control systems across commercial, industrial, and institutional environments. Supporting Mifare (13.56MHz) IC card technology with a 34-bit Wiegand output (default), the KR500-M delivers reliable, fast card reading with a read range of up to 5cm and a reading time of ≤200ms — ensuring smooth, uninterrupted access flow at entry points.

Housed in a slim ABS+PC textured body measuring just 78 × 44 × 16mm and weighing only 50g, the KR500-M is one of the most compact card readers in the ZKTeco portfolio — making it ideal for installations where space is limited or a discreet, low-profile aesthetic is required. The IP65 ingress protection rating confirms full dust-tight and water jet-resistant construction, enabling reliable outdoor and harsh indoor deployment without additional weatherproofing.

The KR500-M operates on a wide DC 6–14V input voltage range with a maximum current draw of just 70mA, making it compatible with virtually all standard access control power supplies and panels. External LED control (Red and Green LEDs) and external buzzer control input ports allow the reader’s visual and audible feedback to be managed directly by the connected access controller, enabling fully customised user indication behaviour. A built-in beeper provides immediate local audio confirmation of card read events.

With CE, FCC, and RoHS certifications and ZKTeco’s globally recognised quality and reliability, the KR500-M is a dependable reader solution for door controllers, turnstiles, barriers, elevators, and any Wiegand-compatible access control system.
