TM-Q2 QR Code and RFID Card Reader EM 125 kHz for 86×86mm Installation Box, Wiegand/TTL/RS232/RS485, Black

Product detailed description

The TM-Q2 reader combines a QR and barcode scanner with an EM 125 kHz RFID card reader and is designed for mounting in a standard 86 × 86 mm installation box. It reads codes from paper as well as phone displays, and handles contactless cards or fobs just as effectively, allowing you to cover both code-based and traditional chip entries with a single device. Data is transmitted via Wiegand, TTL UART, RS232, or RS485, meaning it can be connected to virtually any door controller, turnstile, or barrier; it can also be connected directly to a computer via USB-C for configuration. Scanning is triggered automatically; the reader features its own LED illumination and confirms successful scanning with a beep and a coloured LED.

Specifications:

• Model: TM-Q2
• Type: flush-mount QR code and contactless card reader for access control systems

• Scanning Method: image decoding (CMOS), auto-sense, built-in LED illumination
• Communication interface:
  • Wiegand: terminals WG-D0 / WG-D1
  • TTL UART: terminals TTL-TX / TTL-RX
  • RS232: terminals 232-TX / 232-RX
  • RS485: terminals 485-A / 485-B
  • USB: USB-C connector on the side of the device
• Power Supply: 8–12 V DC (terminals 12V / GND)
• Current Consumption: up to 800 mA, power consumption approx. 9.6 W
• Reading distance:
  • Card / fob: 3–6 cm
  • QR and barcode: 0–20 cm
• Reading speed:
  • Code: less than 200 ms
  • Card: approx. 0.1 s
• Recommended Scanning Angle: up to 45° from the lens axis
• Signalling: buzzer, red operation LED, green confirmation LED
• Material: PC plastic, tempered glass scanning window
• Mounting: recessed into a standard 86 installation box (frame 86 × 86 mm)
• Dimensions:
  • Reader: 86 × 86 × 42 mm
  • Weight: 150 g
• Operating conditions:
  • Temperature: −20 °C to +70 °C
  • Humidity: 10–90 % (non-condensing)
• Supported systems: Windows XP/7/8/10, Linux
• Colour: black

Data output and configuration:

• TTL and RS232: directly sends the scanned code text or card number. Optional termination character: none, CR (0x0D), LF (0x0A), CR+LF (0x0D0A) or TAB.
  • Serial link speed: 300 to 115 200 Bd, default 115 200 Bd
• USB:
  • HID: the reader behaves as a keyboard and "types" the scanned code directly into any application
  • VCP: virtual serial port
• RS485:
  • PLAIN: plain code text
  • Modbus RTU: frame FEEF + data length + BAAB + device address + data + CRC16-Modbus, address 0–255. The protocol also supports querying the availability of devices on the bus.
• Wiegand:
  • Wiegand 26 / 34: the last 10 digits of the code are taken and converted into a 3-byte (W26) or 4-byte (W34) number
  • Wiegand 256: sends the entire content of the code in hexadecimal form
• Card number format: decimal or hexadecimal, with optional reversed byte order and zero-padding to 10 digits
• Settings: all parameters can be configured by scanning the configuration QR codes from the included manual – interface, speed, buzzer, illumination, read repeat interval, and factory reset

Package contents:

• 1× TM-Q2 reader, Black
• 1× USB-A / USB-C cable, 1 m length

Note:

• This variant reads ID cards (EM 125 kHz). It does not read Mifare 13.56 MHz cards – the IC variant is intended for them.
• The reader is designed for indoor environments and is not waterproof.
• 12 V power supply is not included in the package.
• This product is not a standalone functional unit and may require professional installation.
• Product images are for illustrative purposes only and may sometimes differ from the actual appearance of the item. However, this does not change their basic properties.
