iCLASS SE R15 is part of HID Global's iCLASS SE platform for adaptable, interoperable access control. Designed for door applications requiring a mullion style mounting, iCLASS SE R15 supports a broad array of credential technologies and a variety of form factors, including cards, fobs and mobile devices. Configurable to support HID Mobile Access.
Features:
- Adaptable – Interoperable with a growing range of technologies (iCLASS Seos , iCLASS SE, iCLASS, MiFare Classic, MiFare DESFireEV1) and form factors including mobile devices.
- Powerfully Secure – The iCLASS SE platform’s secure identity object (SIO) data model provides an extra layer of encryption for additional protection of identity data
- Standardized Communications (OSDP) – Uses open supervised device protocol (OSDP) for secure communications between reader and controller.
Specifications:
- Dimensions: 1.9” x 6.0” x 0.9” (4.8 cm x 15.3 cm x 2.3 cm)
- Typical Maximum Read Range: iCLASS Card: Up to 3.5” (8.9 cm). iCLASS Key/Tag : Up to 1.5” (3.8 cm)
- 13.56 MHz contactless smart cards supported: iCLASS Seos, iCLASS SE, iCLASS, MiFare Classic, and MiFare DESFire EV1

HID 910PMNNEKEA003 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Which card technologies does the HID iCLASS SE R15 read?
The R15 is a 13.56 MHz multi-technology reader. It reads iCLASS Seos, iCLASS SE, iCLASS, MiFare Classic and MiFare DESFire EV1 credentials, in card, fob and mobile device form. It can also be configured to support HID Mobile Access over Bluetooth, so phones work alongside your existing cards during a migration.
2) Does the HID iCLASS SE R15 support OSDP, or is it Wiegand only?
The R15 uses OSDP (open supervised device protocol) for communication between the reader and the access control panel. That gives you supervised, encrypted two-way communication rather than one-way Wiegand, so your controller needs an OSDP-capable input to take full advantage of it.
3) What is the difference between the HID iCLASS SE R15 mullion reader and the SDC IPRW Series proximity reader?
The iCLASS SE R15 is a 13.56 MHz multi-technology reader that supports iCLASS Seos, iCLASS SE, iCLASS, MiFare Classic and MiFare DESFire EV1 credentials, can be configured for HID Mobile Access with Bluetooth-capable phones, and uses open supervised device protocol (OSDP) for communication back to the controller. The SDC IPRW Series is a Wiegand proximity reader with 125 kHz HID compatibility, so it reads legacy 125 kHz prox credentials and outputs on Wiegand rather than OSDP. Choose the R15 where smart card credentials, mobile access, or OSDP supervised communication are required; choose the IPRW where the site is already standardized on 125 kHz prox cards and a Wiegand panel input.
4) Our panel only accepts Wiegand input - is there an alternative to the iCLASS SE R15?
The iCLASS SE R15 mullion reader is built around open supervised device protocol (OSDP) communication between the reader and the controller. If the existing panel input is Wiegand, the SDC IPRW Series is a Wiegand-output proximity reader with 125 kHz HID compatibility and would land on that panel without a protocol converter. Confirm the credential technology in circulation first, since the IPRW reads 125 kHz prox rather than 13.56 MHz smart cards.
5) How close does a card have to be to the R15 to read?
Typical maximum read range is up to 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) for an iCLASS card and up to 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) for an iCLASS key or tag. Plan mounting height and position accordingly, and remember keyfobs need to come nearly to the face of the reader.
6) Can I move my building to phone-based credentials with this reader?
Yes. The R15 is configurable for HID Mobile Access, so smartphones can be issued as credentials over Bluetooth while the same reader continues to accept iCLASS Seos, iCLASS SE, iCLASS, MiFare Classic and MiFare DESFire EV1 cards and fobs. That lets a property manager phase phones in without swapping readers or reissuing every card at once.
7) Is the iCLASS SE R15 the right reader for a narrow aluminum door frame?
Yes - the iCLASS SE R15 is designed for door applications requiring mullion style mounting and measures 1.9 in x 6.0 in x 0.9 in (4.8 cm x 15.3 cm x 2.3 cm), which is the tall narrow footprint that fits a mullion or narrow stile. Verify the mullion face width against the 1.9 in reader width before ordering, and note the typical read range of up to 3.5 in for an iCLASS card and up to 1.5 in for a key or tag.
8) Will the SDC IPRW work if we are rolling out mobile credentials?
The SDC IPRW Series is a Wiegand proximity reader with 125 kHz HID compatibility, so it is aimed at card and fob prox credentials. For a mobile credential rollout, the iCLASS SE R15 mullion reader is the one configurable to support HID Mobile Access and reads cards, fobs and mobile devices across the iCLASS Seos, iCLASS SE, iCLASS, MiFare Classic and MiFare DESFire EV1 technologies.
9) Is the iCLASS SE R15 suitable for a commercial building, or is it a residential product?
It is a commercial access control reader, part of HID Global's iCLASS SE platform used in office, institutional and multi-tenant buildings. It is an electronic credential reader, so it is one component of a system: you still need a controller, power, and door locking hardware to complete the opening.
10) What extra security does the iCLASS SE platform add over a plain card read?
The SE platform uses a secure identity object (SIO) data model, which wraps the credential data in an additional layer of encryption beyond the card technology itself. Combined with OSDP on the wire, both the credential and the reader-to-controller link are protected, which matters where cloned cards are a concern.
