IP67 Metal QR Code & 13.56 MHz Card Reader, Keyless: overview
The QC-130 is a keyless IP67 QR code and RFID reader, the card-and-QR-only member of our metal-frame series. With no keypad on the glass, the front is given over to a card target and the scan window, which keeps presentation simple for visitors using the entrance for the first time. It suits sites that authenticate with cards and QR passes and do not need PIN entry.
Inside, a 648 × 488 image sensor and two fill lights read paper tickets and phone-screen QR codes at 5–18 cm, averaging roughly 100 ms per decode. Codes can be turned to any angle and tilted up to ±45°. Card reading covers 13.56 MHz UIDs from MIFARE Classic 1K/4K, MIFARE Ultralight, MIFARE DESFire EV1 and NTAG credentials, other ISO/IEC 14443A cards and ISO/IEC 15693 tags, plus NFC phones in card-emulation mode. Frame and glass are rated IP67.
Integration notes
Outputs are Wiegand D0/D1, RS485 (including an active-upload mode that pushes reads to the host) and USB through a Mini USB port. Power it from 12 V DC ±5%; it draws under 200 mA.
The harness on this model labels its control wires BUZZ (purple), LEDG (gray) and NG (yellow), so check your controller's LED and buzzer logic before final wiring. The housing measures 120 × 80 × 22.67 mm; the mullion-format equivalent is QC-140.

QC-130 FAQ
What is the difference between the QC-130 and the QC-110?
They share the same scanner, card reader, outputs and 120 × 80 mm IP67 housing. The QC-110 adds a touch keypad under the glass; the QC-130 has none, which suits card-and-QR-only entrances.
Will it work with a standard Wiegand controller?
Yes. Card UIDs and QR results are output on D0/D1. Because common Wiegand formats carry a short numeric ID, check that the QR content your platform issues maps to the format your controller expects.
Can it scan QR codes shown on a phone?
Yes. Printed and on-screen QR codes are both supported at 5–18 cm; the working distance depends on code size, angle and ambient light.
Does it read 125 kHz cards?
No. The QC-130 reads 13.56 MHz credentials only. For 125 kHz EM cards, consider the QC-170, which adds 125 kHz EM4100-family support.
