NFC RFID Reader Writer - Base HD - µFR compliant card programmer with relays for Access Control + FREE SDK
Our flag-ship device! Base HD is a contactless Smart Card RFID NFC Reader/Writer/Encoder with built-in relays, Real-Time Clock, and internal memory. Built-in Relay enables the device to be used for access control. Real-Time Clock as a built-in feature provides better time accuracy and also prevents unauthorized time changes of a card log because the device sends time stamps for a particular card. Internal memory stores up to 32000 events.

Base HD - RFID NFC Reader
Access Control & Time Attendance RFID NFC Reader
Base HD is one of our all-around NFC RFID Readers which implements the best from our development tools (µFR Series) and adds time attendance and access control functions.
What sets this device apart from our other devices is the fact that it can operate up to 320 meters away from the PC without an additional power supply, powered only through the PC’s USB port.
It uses RS-485 communication protocol which is totally transparent to the system and user, which results in the fact that this reader can be used exactly the same way as the standard uFR Classic NFC RFID reader writer.
The same Software Development Kit API functions, drivers, and protocol can be used.
Base HD is a low-power RFID device and it uses only +5V USB power for operation.
An intermediate transceiver device converter for USB/RS-485 is included in the package.
Base HD also has built-in relays, so they can be triggered by software, for example, to lock or unlock the door lock mechanism.
Base HD is an NFC-compatible Contactless Smart Card and Tag RFID Reader Writer - programmer intended for use with MIFARE® and other ISO14443A/B compatible cards, tags, keyfobs, stickers, and wristbands.
Base HD - NFC Reader Writer fully supports both 4-byte and 7-byte card UIDs and anti-collision mechanism. It also supports NFC Forum Type 2 cards and tags like NTAG and Ultralight® family.
The package contains a fully featured SDK API with examples, libraries, development tools, and software for everyday use. Libraries for Windows ("*.dll") and Linux ("*.so") OS platforms are also included. The reader acts as a serial interface device, so it is visible on each platform. It is successfully implemented on Mac, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBoard, and Android OS (up from the 3.2 Honeycomb version).
SDK contains many examples with source code provided for the following programming languages:
- Java,
- Java Applet,
- JavaScript,
- Lazarus,
- Borland Delphi,
- C++ Builder,
- Microsoft® Visual C++ .net,
- Microsoft® Visual C #,
- Microsoft® Visual Basic.net
The software package includes a set of very useful applications intended for everyday use, like:
- Application for programming and manipulation of NFC compliant cards like NTAG and MIFARE Ultralight®, with source code, included.
- Android NFC phone App - Android NFC phone Application for MIFARE® card reading. Write a card with uFR, and read it with an NFC phone!
- Card Formatter - application for card/tag formatting and programming
- uFR2FileSystem - keyboard simulation, card data reading, card data parsing into several formats, and sending data to MySQL database via HTTP.
- Application for NTAG and MIFARE Ultralight® card programming and manipulation.
- Application for creating and writing common NDEF messages into NFC tags and cards.
Our support team always provides quick responses and custom solutions based on each customer's needs.
Operating modes
Base HD NFC RFID Reader Writer can work in two basic modes: autonomous and non-autonomous.
In non-autonomous mode device acts as all other readers from the uFR series, like Classic, Nano, Advanced. The same protocol, libraries, Software development kit API, and examples are used for this purpose.
A significant difference is that Base HD devices can work on installations where long cable runs are a must. So, for example, you can establish a PC-Base HD communication link with 320m (1000) ft cable using only USB power.
In addition, Base HD RFID NFC Reader has a built-in access control IO module, which has the following functionalities:
-
Door strike lock contacts
-
Push to open button contacts
-
NO & NC relay contacts
-
Door state contact inputs
When used in autonomous mode, the device can act independently, without the connection to the host. Only a USB or other types of power supply is needed (5V DC).
The device stores card-related events in non-volatile memory. Each event is also sent asynchronously to the host as a Real-Time Event (RTE).
The device can store up to 16384 separate events. After its buffer is overflowed, it starts to erase the oldest events in order to free memory for new forthcoming events.
