iCLASS

smart reader/writers and cards make access control and read/write applications

more powerful, more versatile, and most importantly, offer enhanced security through encryption

and mutual authentication.

At the same time, iCLASS is user-friendly, delivering the convenience, affordability and reliability

of proximity technology, for which HID is known worldwide.

Using the 13.56 MHz technology platform, the iCLASS RW400 contactless smart card reader/writer

combines the longer read range of proximity with the power and heightened security of smart

card technology.

Supporting read/write applications, the RW400 reads/writes user data to HID iCLASS

credentials that offer either 2k bit (256 Byte), 16k bit (2k Byte) or 32k bit (4k Byte) of data storage. Read/

write applications include IT secure authentication, biometric template storage, digital cash, time and

attendance, equipment/material use or checkout and transit passes.

Featuring crisp architectural styling, the reader/writer has an elegantly curved faceplate. The high intensity,

three-color light bar provides clear, visual feedback even in direct sunlight. Selectable, distinct tone

sequences indicate status conditions.

Experience enhanced versatility:

w Use one reader to read standard proximity format data from HID iCLASS credentials or unique

serial numbers from MIFARE

cards.

w Confidently install the reader knowing that the Wiegand output easily interfaces with most

existing Wiegand protocol access control panels.

w To support read/write applications, the bi-directional RS232 serial port provides connection to a

PC or microcontroller.

Appreciate advanced security:

w All RF data transmission between the card and reader is encrypted using a secure algorithm.

w By using industry-standard encryption techniques and advanced key management systems, iCLASS

reduces the risk of compromised data or duplicated cards.

Be secure in knowing:

w iCLASS complies with the ISO 15693 standard for contactless smart card technology. Standards

are important in smart card technology because they make it possible for many equipment and

application developers to work with the smart card technology and create a broader range of uses for

the card.

w iCLASS technology can extend the use of your access control credential into other applications today

and tomorrow.
