ZKTeco FR1200 Finger & RFID Exit Reader
The ZKTeco FR1200 Finger & RFID Exit Reader is designed to support secure entry and exit management in compatible access control systems. It combines fingerprint verification with RFID card reading, allowing authorised users to verify their identity using a supported fingerprint or access card.
The FR1200 communicates with compatible access control panels and fingerprint terminals through an RS485 interface. It is suitable for organisations that want to add a reader at an entry or exit point without installing a complete standalone attendance terminal at every door.
Fingerprint and RFID Card Authentication
The ZKTeco FR1200 supports two authentication methods: fingerprint verification and RFID card reading. This gives system administrators flexibility to configure access according to the requirements of their installation and the capabilities of the connected controller.
The standard configuration supports 125 kHz ID cards. Support for 13.56 MHz IC cards depends on the optional reader module, so confirm the exact configuration before ordering cards or planning an installation.
RS485 Communication and System Compatibility
The FR1200 uses an RS485 communication interface to transfer fingerprint and card information to compatible access control equipment. It is intended to operate as part of a supported system rather than independently controlling a door.
Before purchasing, confirm that your existing ZKTeco controller or fingerprint terminal supports the FR1200 and the required communication protocol. Wiring, controller configuration and software requirements depend on the complete system.
IP65-Rated Protection
The IP65-rated enclosure provides protection against dust and water jets under specified test conditions. This makes the FR1200 suitable for a range of indoor, outdoor and semi-enclosed access points when correctly installed.
IP65 does not mean the reader can be submerged in water. Use suitable installation practices and confirm environmental conditions before fitting the device outdoors.
