Magnetic Stripe

The Dorado WP644 Weatherproof Pass-Through Reader accepts your magnetic stripe ID
badge for access control and more!

Offering a wide selection of readers, cards, and card encoders, Dorado represents the
access control industry's preferred choice for magnetic stripe readers and cards.

Most access control systems use some form of plastic ID card. With the popular WP644
Pass-Through Reader, one simple motion through the card slot reads a card. A bi-color
LED confirms that a card has been read, then changes color when the door unlocks. Use
one card for single or multiple purposes!

The Model WP644 Weatherproof Pass-Through Reader combines ease-of-use with
installation flexibility. Available with a white or black housing, the Model WP644 reader
mounts on a door mullion, directly on the wall, or on a single-gang electrical box. Connect
to access control systems using either a Wiegand or Clock-and-Data input.

Magnetic stripe cards are cost-effective, easy to carry, and easy to use. Users have a choice
of badge size and artwork, providing a range from simple, single-purpose access cards to
customized photo ID badges. The same magnetic stripe card can be double-encoded for
applications ranging from door access, time and attendance, and parking to cafeteria meal
purchases, vending, and book check-outs. Card encoding (including photo ID fabrication)
can be done at HID or at the dealer's facility. Alternatively, the end-user may choose to
do their own card encoding using the Model 420 or Model 450 encoder. Choose the card
encoding method that meets your needs!

When your application requires magnetic stripe readers and cards, choose the trusted
brand.

Product Compatibility

The Dorado WP644 reader is compatible with mainstream ac­cess controllers that accept a Wiegand or Clock-and-Data input
from a card reader. The reader accepts cards encoded on track
1 or 2, and are encoded with either ABA/ANSI/ISO or EMPI
encoding. EMPI is HID’s own encoding format that provides a
higher level of security than standard ABA/ANSI/ISO encoding.
ABA/ANSI/ISO encoding format refers to the industry standard

75 BPI, 5 bits per character encoding (ISO 7810 Track 2).

Warranty
