The CR100 series are compact USB desktop readers designed for efficient enrollment and management of contactless credentials across access control, time attendance, visitor management, and card issuance applications.
CR100 and CR100FR support both 13.56 MHz (HF) and 125 kHz (LF) technologies, the readers provide broad compatibility with legacy proximity cards and modern smart cards and NFC tags.
Built on a high-integration RF circuit design, the CR100 delivers reliable card detection with minimal electromagnetic interference, fast read performance (typical detection time ≤500 ms to UID), and read ranges up to 30 mm depending on card type. The USB 2.0 (Type-C) interface enables plug-and-play deployment via standard Custom USB Device and USB keyboard wedge modes on Windows, Android, mac OS, and Linux (on request)—no proprietary drivers required.
