Qoltec 52446 Proximity Card and Key Fob Reader – 125 kHz RFID, Wiegand 26-bit, IP65

The Qoltec 52446 stands out as a rugged, no-nonsense access control reader built for everyday reliability. Instead of chasing flashy features, it focuses on the essentials: fast 125 kHz RFID reading, a weatherproof IP65 housing, and a simple Wiegand interface that drops into most existing systems without fuss. Whether you're securing a small office, a warehouse, or a residential entrance, this reader gets the job done quietly and consistently.

Highlights

• Reads EM4100 and TK4100 proximity cards and key fobs at 125 kHz
• Wiegand 26-bit output for broad compatibility with access controllers
• IP65-rated ABS housing withstands dust and water jets
• Built-in buzzer and red/green LED for clear user feedback
• Wide 9–16V DC power range suits most installations

In daily use

Mount the reader next to your door, connect it to your access control panel, and you're ready to go. A quick tap of a card or fob within 5–10 cm triggers a beep and a green flash, confirming access. The surface-mount design keeps installation simple, while the low current draw (under 100 mA) means it won't tax your power supply. Even in harsh conditions—from freezing cold to hot, humid environments—the Qoltec 52446 keeps working.
