Technical characteristics of IronLogic Z-2 (mod. RD-ALL)
The desktop card reader Smartec ST-CE010EM is designed for entering proximity identifier codes of the Em Marine standard into software applications via the USB interface of a computer. It is compatible with all major operating systems, is automatically recognized by them and does not require additional installation drivers or specialized software. At the same time, the USB reader identifies cards and key fobs with an operating frequency of 125 kHz, and its reading range is up to 10 cm. For operator convenience, ST-CE010EM is equipped with a light indication of operation and can be operated at temperatures from 0 to +45 degrees. Celsius.
ST-CE010EM has a tabletop design and comes in a rugged plastic case black color. To connect the reader to personal computer, just use standard USB cable, after which it will be detected by the operating system as an HID-compatible device. To indicate the operation of the USB reader, the reader has a built-in LED that turns on when it receives an identifier code, and for ease of card positioning it has a recess. The ST-CE010EM is designed for indoor operation, and its small dimensions allow efficient use of the operator's desk space.
Receive data and power via busUSB
The contactless reader quickly and easily connects to a computer via a USB bus. This connection is made using a regular four-wire cable, in which two wires are for receiving and transmitting data and two are for powering the ST-CE010EM. Due to this, the USB reader works without using additional source power supply, consuming a current of 160 mA in operating mode.
Technology for contactless transmission of an access code from a card
To recognize the card code, these Smartec readers use RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology. In operating condition, the generator built into the device generates a constant electromagnetic field around the card, which creates a supply voltage in it that activates the transmission of the identification code. The Em Marine standard specifies that the USB reader and identifiers operate at 125 kHz. At the same time, ST-CE010EM can support passive cards that do not have a built-in power supply.
This technology is implemented in all Em Marine RFID identifiers based on a miniature chip built into them, which includes a transmitter, receiver, processor and antenna. The processor memory stores a unique identification code for the card, programmed at the factory. Having received a signal from the RFID card, the USB reader decrypts it and transmits the received code to the corresponding software application via USB port computer.
Automation of the data entry process
Using a USB reader greatly simplifies input into various systems identification codes for proximity cards and key fobs of the Em Marine standard. To register an identifier, just bring it to the ST-CE010EM and the device will automatically enter its code into the active field running application(for example, ACS software). Unlike traditional manual method entering codes, a USB reader eliminates errors associated with human factor, and reduce the time for registering a pass. It is especially convenient to use such readers when entering a new user into the system via software module pass office, visitor management module, working time tracking module, etc.
Software integrationTimex
The desktop reader is compatible with all Smartec access control system devices and any software applications, which require entering a pass code. Within the Smartec ACS brand, it is recommended to use Timex software, which fully ensures the organization of an access control system and a time and attendance system. At the same time, the USB reader and other Smartec reading devices allow the Timex program to record both the fact of passage and its time.
Based on the collected data, as well as the algorithms laid down during the organization of access control systems/survey systems and programming of readers, this software generates different kinds reports to control the use of working time. Moreover, even without having a full-fledged access control system at the site (or without integration with it), based on a computer with Timex software and a USB reader, you can organize the simplest recording of employee working hours.

The desktop contactless card reader is designed for reading And records data from contactless tags with an operating frequency of 13.56 MHz standard MIFARE Ultralight, Classic 1K, Classic 4K and data transfer to a computer via USB interface.
The reader is defined in operating system, How virtual serial port or how HID device "keyboard".
Simple text protocol(in CDC mode) allows convenient integration into other programs and systems.
In HID, you can specify the format of the output data using a format string.
Key Features
- Reading and writing MIFARE cards
MIFARE Ultralight, Classic 1K, Classic 4K cards are supported. - Encryption support
Reading and writing encrypted blocks of MIFARE cards with a given key. - Cross-platform free software
We have developed software specifically for this reader for Windows/Linux/macOS - CDC or HID interface
Can work like:
1. "Virtual serial port" (CDC) COM port. Convenient when you need to write a script or integrate with another system.
You can also enter and read data by hand in the terminal.
2. HID keyboard. Displays the UID of the presented card (or other data) in active window on PC.
3. HID device. Slave device for a program working with an HID interface. - Support data transfer via networks
The ODRFIDKit program can transmit data about the read card via TCP or UDP. - Technical support from the manufacturer

The device may become even more functional over time.
Also, using the firmware you can change the device type: HID to CDC and vice versa. - Small dimensions
Thanks to its compact dimensions of 114x70x12 mm (without “legs”), the device does not take up much work space and looks neat on any table.
Program window
Working without a program in CDC mode
Virtual mode serial port convenient for integration with third-party software.
The exchange occurs via AT commands.
Working without a program in HID mode
In HID mode, the reader is recognized by the system as a keyboard, which allows you to “enter” data from the card into the PC automatically.
This mode allows you to significantly save time in commercial organizations when taking inventory, accounting, sorting or other actions with big amount goods. By default, the USB HID reader operates in keyboard mode and performs keyboard input UID numbers (or specified card memory range) of the presented card in HEX-ASCII. The text is entered in the specified this moment operating system language.
