Overview
The Dialoc ID MR50 is a general-purpose industrial RFID reader operating at 13.56 MHz, designed for secure access control and identification applications in demanding environments. This ruggedized reader features a sealed epoxy enclosure that protects internal electronics from dust, moisture, and industrial contaminants, making it ideal for manufacturing floors, secured facilities, and outdoor installations. The MR50 communicates via RS232/EIA-232 serial interface, enabling straightforward integration with host systems, PLCs, and access control networks.
Key Features
- 13.56 MHz RFID technology for standard contactless card and tag reading
