RFID card reader LM10U

MIFAREfor communicationfor security

Overview
The MIFARE LM10U is a USB RFID card reader that reads the serial number (USN/UID) of MIFARE 1K and 4K cards. Connected by USB, it outputs the UID using keyboard emulation (keyboard wedge), so the UID is sent directly to the active cursor position in any application. The reader supports 4‑byte UID for MIFARE 1K and 4K.

Main features

• Reads serial number (USN/UID) of MIFARE 1K and 4K chips (4‑byte UID).
• USB connection with keyboard‑wedge interface for direct input into applications.
• Data sent via keyboard emulation—no application integration needed.
• Cross‑platform: compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac; no driver required for recent Windows versions (W7, W8, W10).
• Read indication by LED.
• Compact, cost‑effective design for desktop or counter use.
• Does not read MIFARE DESFire (7‑byte UID) or 125 kHz tags; operates only at HF 13.56 MHz.
• Configurable output formats: 8‑char HEX MSB/LSB, 10‑char DEC MSB/LSB; configuration software available.

Technical remarks
The LM10U is read‑only for proximity chips and is not a USB encoder. It operates at HF 13.56 MHz; read range depends on the transponder and can reach up to 6 cm.
