Encrypted Access Control Card Reader, Anti-Clone, 86 mm: overview
AX-130 is an encrypted access control card reader for sites where copied cards have become a real problem: apartment blocks, managed rentals, offices and staff entrances. It is set up to accept cards issued under its own encryption key, so a blank card carrying a duplicated UID is not treated as a valid credential. Toward the controller it behaves like any Wiegand reader.
The 86 × 86 × 15.6 mm housing matches the footprint of an 86-type wall box. Cards are read at up to 8 cm, depending on the card and the mounting surface, and card data arrives in under 120 ms once the card is in range. The circuit is protected against electrostatic discharge and mis-wiring, and the RF design holds up well next to metal and neighboring readers.
Behavior is set on site with a configuration card: encryption key, Wiegand format (26, 34 or 66-bit), read mode and the data that is output. Encrypted cards can carry a validity period and a cap on the number of uses, which covers short-term tenants, contractors and visitors. A standalone card-issuing program prepares the cards, and the third-party access software that receives the Wiegand number needs no modification.
Integration notes
Supply 12 V DC ±5% with at least 200 mA available. Land white (D1) and green (D0) on the controller's Wiegand input; purple and gray take beeper and LED control from the controller. Tying the yellow lead to GND fixes the output at Wiegand 26. Because this is a customized-card system, we confirm the card chip, key handling, card supply and issuing-software language for your region before quoting.

Where the AX-130 is used
- Apartment entrances where copied resident cards are circulating
- Short-let and serviced apartments that need cards to stop working at checkout
- Contractor and visitor cards limited to a set number of entries
- Elevator lobbies and turnstiles fed by an existing Wiegand controller
- Office floors replacing UID-only 13.56 MHz readers without changing the access software
Elevator Access Control Readers
Elevator card readers for car panels and lift lobbies: anti-clone encrypted cards, QR codes for visitors, Wiegand or RS485 output to the floor controller.
Turnstile & Speed-Gate Readers: QR, RFID and Face
Turnstile card readers, QR scanners and face terminals for tripod, swing and speed gates, with Wiegand, RS485, RS232 or TTL output to the gate board.
AX-130 FAQ
Will AX-130 accept the MIFARE cards we already use?
Not as encrypted credentials. The anti-copy function depends on cards issued under the reader's key set, so plan to issue matching encrypted cards rather than enrolling existing UIDs.
Does our access control software need to change?
No. Cards are prepared with the standalone issuing program, and the controller receives an ordinary Wiegand 26, 34 or 66-bit number that it enrolls like any other card.
How do I change the Wiegand format?
Present a configuration card set for 26, 34 or 66-bit output. For a permanent 26-bit output, connect the yellow lead to GND.
What read range should I expect?
Up to 8 cm. The actual figure depends on the card type and the mounting environment; card data is received in under 120 ms once the card is in range.
Can cards be limited by date or number of uses?
Yes. The card system supports a validity period and a use-count limit, which suits short-term tenants, contractors, visitors and visit-pack memberships.
