HID bioCLASS Biometric Keypad
HID bioCLASS Biometric Keypad Smart Card Reader
6181: The HID bioCLASS Biometric Keypad Smart Card Reader provides secure multi-factor authentication utilizing smart card technology combined with biometric template verification, and/or a pin (verified by the smart card or access control system). During verification at the door, the LCD graphical display will assist the user with instructions about finger placement on the biometric sensor.
6250: The bioCLASS card programmer (CP575) complements the reader. The CP575 is connected to your PC via a USB port. The software guides the user to place his/her finger on the sensor. The fingerprint template is collected at the unit and immediately transferred to the card. During this enrollment process, the fingerprint template is stored ONLY on the card; it is never transmitted to an external host.
HID bioCLASS Biometric Keypad Smart Card Reader is used in biometric attendance / biometric access control system.
- Users can choose the level of security to meets their needs : card and PIN; card and fingerprint; card, PIN, and fingerprint
- The finger pad at the bottom center of the biometric unit offers ease-of-use for either right or left-handed enrollment.
- The location of the finger pad is compliant with ADA standards.
- LCD display provides feedback on user finger placement and defines custom menu keys.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is the HID bioCLASS Biometric Keypad Smart Card Reader?
The HID bioCLASS Biometric Keypad Smart Card Reader is a multi-factor authentication device that combines iCLASS smart card technology with biometric fingerprint verification and PIN entry. Designed for high-security physical access control, it supports card-only, card+PIN, card+fingerprint, and card+PIN+fingerprint authentication modes.
Q2. Where are fingerprint templates stored in the HID bioCLASS system?
Fingerprint templates are stored exclusively on the iCLASS smart card and never in the reader or transmitted to an external host. This card-based approach increases security, protects individual privacy, enables faster throughput, and lowers per-reader costs for the biometric system.
Q3. What authentication modes does the HID bioCLASS support?
The HID bioCLASS supports three levels of security: card and PIN; card and fingerprint; or card, PIN, and fingerprint combined. Users and administrators can choose the combination that meets their specific security and compliance requirements.
Q4. Is the HID bioCLASS reader ADA compliant?
Yes. The HID bioCLASS features a finger pad positioned at the bottom center of the unit in compliance with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards, providing ease-of-use for both right-handed and left-handed users.
Q5. What are the electrical and wiring specifications of the HID bioCLASS reader?
The HID bioCLASS operates at 9–12 VDC with 350 mA standby and 520 mA peak current. Supported wiring includes RS-232 up to 50 ft (15 m), RS-485 up to 4000 ft (1216 m), and Wiegand up to 300 ft on 18-gauge wire.
