ZKTeco MR100 / MR101: Contactless Card Readers with Metal Casing Design

The ZKTeco MR100 and MR101 are IP66 metal-cased Wiegand card readers built for exterior doors, gates and warehouse loading bays. The MR100 is the full-size unit; the MR101 is the slim mullion version for narrow door frames. Tamper-protected, simple two-wire power and Wiegand 26/34 output. A clean drop-in for any controller-driven door.

Description

The MR100/MR101 is the everyday exterior reader installers spec when the door has its own controller upstream and just needs a tough card reader at the wall. Metal housing, IP66 rating, and sensible Wiegand output keep wiring and procurement straightforward.

Pick the right form factor

MR100: Full-size square reader. Mount on solid wall or door surrounds with room for the larger footprint.
MR101: Slim mullion-style reader. Designed for the vertical mullion of an aluminium door frame where the MR100 will not fit.

Behaviour and electrical specs are identical between the two. The choice is purely about the surface you are mounting on.

Where these earn their keep in NZ

Warehouse loading docks: Exterior reader for forklift drivers and yard staff entering through a personnel door beside the roller.
Construction site offices and yards: Survives weather, dust and the occasional knock from a tradie in a hurry.
Gym carpark and after-hours member doors: IP66 means the reader holds up after a Wellington southerly or a wet Auckland winter without water ingress.
Council depots and yards: Tamper detection and dismantle protection deter fitting-out for unauthorised access.
Multi-tenant building rear entries: Slim MR101 fits the standard aluminium mullion at most commercial back doors.

How it differs from the MK-V/MK-H

The MK-V/MK-H is a standalone unit. It makes its own access decisions and drives a relay directly. The MR100/MR101 is a “dumb” reader that needs a controller upstream (C2-260, Atlas, InBio etc.). Choose the MK-V/MK-H for one-door no-server installs; choose the MR100/MR101 when the door is already wired back to a panel.

Specifying it

Output: Wiegand 26/34. Confirm which mode your controller expects.
