RF IDeas WAVE ID Plus Preto 5V Pin9 RS-232 RDR-80531BK5

For environments where a standard USB badge reader falls short, the WAVE ID Plus delivers dependable serial connectivity and dual-frequency credential support in a compact desktop form. This model reads both 125 kHz proximity cards and 13.56 MHz contactless smart cards, giving you flexibility across legacy and modern access control systems. The black housing blends into any workstation, while the RS-232 DB9 interface ensures compatibility with industrial PCs, thin clients, and specialized equipment that still rely on serial ports.

Highlights

• Multi-technology reading: HID Prox, Indala, EM410x, iCLASS, MIFARE, FeliCa, PIV, CAC, and NFC
• RS-232 serial output via DB9 connector, powered by 5V DC
• Tri-color LED and audible beeper for clear user feedback
• Read range up to 3 inches (7.6 cm) for convenient badge presentation
• Field-upgradeable firmware to support new card types and security features
• Wide OS compatibility: Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android via serial

In daily use

Place the reader on a desk or mount it near a turnstile, kiosk, or time clock. Employees simply tap their existing ID badge—whether it's a proximity card or a smart card—and the reader instantly sends the credential data over RS-232. The LED changes color to indicate status, and the beeper confirms a successful read, reducing errors in busy settings. Because it draws power from the 5V pin of the DB9 connector, no external power supply is needed in most installations.
