HID Identity iCLASS RW400 6121BKT0600 Dépliant

64-bit authentication keys are extremely secure. Readers and cards 

require matching keys to function. All RF data transmission between the 

card and reader is encrypted, using a secure algorithm.  The key 

management system reduces the risk of compromised data or duplicated 

cards.

Key management is made easy!  All cards are shipped with unique diver-

sified keys, and readers are shipped with compatible keys.  All keys are 

derived from the HID Standard transport key.  While cards and readers 

with Standard keys are interchangeable, the keys are highly secure, and 

cards can be made unique by ordering with iCLASS

®

 Elite formatting.  

Cards and readers with site-specific Custom keys are also optionally 

available from the factory, or the iCLASS CP400 programmer can be 

used to create site-specific keys and a reader configuration card, allowing 

the user to re-key cards and readers on-site.  The programmer also 

enables users to protect card data with DES or triple DES encryption.  

Custom keys provide the highest level of security, where cards and 

readers are uniquely matched to individual sites or customers, and are 

non-interchangeable. 

The reader’s Wiegand output easily interfaces with most existing 

Wiegand protocol access control panels.  The reader reads standard 

proximity format data from HID iCLASS cards, and will output data as 

encoded.

Bi-directional RS232 serial port communicates at data rates up to 57.6 

Kbaud, using ISO 7816 protocol, the standard for contact smart card 

applications, allowing connection to a PC or microcontroller. A Software 

Developers Kit is available.

When reading MIFARE

®

 cards, the reader can be configured to output 

26-bit, 32-bit, 34-bit or 40-bit Wiegand formats based on the card serial 

number.

The iCLASS RW400 reader is compatible with all iCLASS credentials.  

The reader’s versatility allows it to read credentials meeting several ISO 

standards:

  •  15693 – read/write; 2k bit (256 Byte), 16k bit (2k Byte) and 32k bit 

    (4k Byte) iCLASS credentials

  •  14443A – read only; MIFARE (serial number)

  •  14443B2 – read/write; 16k bit (2k Byte) iCLASS credentials

Audio transducer provides various tone sequences to signify access 

granted, access denied, power up and diagnostics.  Visually impaired card-

holders can easily distinguish between access granted and access denied.

High-intensity light bar provides a clear visual status indication in red, 

green or amber, even in bright sunlight.  

Normally Open logic output, controlled via RS232 port.  Switches up to 

50 mA at 12 VDC.  Use interposing relay for larger loads.

A three-part reader makes installation easier!  Mounting plate attaches 

to U.S., European and Asian back boxes or to any flat surface. Reader 

body snaps onto mounting plate. Cover snaps over reader body, secured 

with a screw. Mounts on metal with minimal read range impact.

Rugged, weatherized polycarbonate enclosure, designed to withstand 

harsh environments, provides reliable performance and resistance to 

vandalism.  Permanent magnet built into housing facilitates tamper alarm 

when used with a magnetic reed switch.

Warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for life. (See 

complete warranty policy for details.)
