RF IDeas WAVE ID Plus Keystroke RA FactoryTalk Black Surface Mount IP67 Reader

For industrial environments where dust, moisture, and rough handling are daily realities, this reader stands apart by combining IP67-rated protection with native Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk integration. Unlike generic USB badge readers, it delivers keystroke emulation that works instantly with any HID-compatible software—no drivers, no middleware—while supporting both 125 kHz proximity and 13.56 MHz contactless smart card technologies in a single compact unit.

Highlights

• IP67 sealed housing: dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion, ideal for factory floors, warehouses, and outdoor kiosks.
• Dual-frequency multi-technology: reads HID Prox, EM410x, Indala, AWID at 125 kHz, plus MIFARE Classic, MIFARE DESFire, iCLASS, FeliCa, and NFC at 13.56 MHz.
• USB keyboard emulation: plug into any Windows, macOS, Linux, or Android host and card data appears as keystrokes in your existing application.
• Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk ready: seamless integration with FactoryTalk View, AssetCentre, and other RA software for badge-based authentication and data capture.
• Rugged surface-mount design with integrated 1.8 m (6 ft) USB cable and multi-color LED plus audible buzzer for clear user feedback.

In daily use

Mount the reader at a machine control station, time clock, or secure access point. Operators simply present their existing corporate badge—whether HID Prox, iCLASS, or MIFARE DESFire—and the reader instantly sends the badge ID to the host as if typed on a keyboard. The multi-color LED and buzzer confirm a successful read, even in noisy environments. Because the unit is IP67-rated, it withstands washdowns, dust, and temperature swings from -30°C to 65°C, making it a reliable choice for demanding industrial automation and access control applications.
