Technical Specifications and Features

Core Performance Capabilities

The ZK Teco ProID20WE Reader operates on a 125kHz frequency, providing consistent read ranges up to 10 centimeters for standard proximity cards. The device supports multiple card formats including EM4100, EM4102, and TK4100 compatible credentials, ensuring compatibility with existing access control infrastructures.

Key technical specifications include:

• Operating voltage: 9-16V DC
• Current consumption: 50mA maximum
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to +70°C
• Humidity tolerance: 0-95% relative humidity
• IP65 weatherproof rating for outdoor applications
• Wiegand 26/34-bit output protocol
• LED and buzzer feedback indicators

Installation and Connectivity Options

Professional installation of the ZK Teco ProID20WE Wiegand card Reader requires standard three-wire Wiegand connections: Data0, Data1, and ground. The reader features dual-color LED indicators (red/green) that provide immediate visual feedback for card presentation status, while the integrated buzzer delivers audible confirmation signals.

The compact housing dimensions (110mm x 70mm x 20mm) allow for versatile mounting configurations:

• Wall-mounted installations using included bracket
• Gang box mounting for flush installations
• Pedestal mounting for standalone applications
• Integration with existing door frames and access panels

Security and Access Control Integration

Wiegand Protocol Advantages

The ZK Teco ProID20WE utilizes the industry-standard Wiegand communication protocol, which offers several security advantages over other transmission methods. Wiegand signals resist electromagnetic interference and provide reliable data transmission over distances up to 500 feet from the access control panel.

This protocol compatibility ensures seamless integration with major access control systems including:

• Honeywell Pro-Watch
• Lenel OnGuard
• Software House C-CURE
• Genetec Security Center
• Johnson Controls P2000

Environmental Durability

The IP65-rated enclosure protects internal components from dust ingress and water jets from any direction, making the ZK Teco ProID20WE Wiegand card Reader suitable for challenging environmental conditions. The ABS plastic housing resists UV degradation, temperature cycling, and chemical exposure commonly encountered in outdoor installations.

Implementation Considerations

Card Management and User Enrollment

Organizations implementing the ZK Teco ProID20WE Wiegand card Reader can leverage proximity card technology for efficient user management. The 125kHz frequency supports large-scale deployments with thousands of unique card credentials, while the standardized card formats ensure cost-effective sourcing and replacement procedures.

Card enrollment processes integrate with existing databases through the connected access control system, allowing administrators to:

• Assign time-based access permissions
• Configure area restrictions by user group
• Generate detailed audit trails for compliance reporting
• Implement temporary access credentials for visitors
