Frequently Asked Questions - QR600 ZKTeco

How do I install the QR600 reader?

Remove the screw, detach the backplate, align screw holes with wall holes, fix backplate, connect wires, mount device, and tighten screw. See installation diagrams in the manual for details.

What are the wiring colors and their functions?

Red = 12V, Black = GND, White = D1, Green = D0, Purple = Beeper, Gray = LED, Yellow = not connected, Blue = 485A, Orange = 485B.

Can I connect the QR600 to an existing access control controller?

Yes, via Wiegand (26/32/34/66) or RS485. Use the appropriate wiring (D1/D0 for Wiegand, 485A/485B for RS485). The reader does not directly control a lock; it sends data to the controller.

Which card types and barcodes are supported?

Supports ID (EM4100/EM4200), IC (MF, Desfire EV1), QR codes (2D: QR, Data Matrix, PDF417; 1D: GS1, Code128, UPC/EAN, Codebar, Code39/93), and resident ID cards.

How do I configure the QR600 using the DEMO software?

Connect via USB or serial (115200 baud). Open the DEMO software, select the port, click 'Connect', then 'Download' to apply default settings. For advanced settings, click 'Enter advanced settings' to modify parameters like Wiegand mode, QR code encryption, etc.

How do I set the Wiegand output format?

In the 'Wiegand Setting' page of the DEMO software, you can select Wiegand mode (26, 34, 66), output format (forward/reverse), parity check, pulse width (1-99 x 10us), and pulse interval (0-89 x 100+1000us). Click 'Write configuration' to save.

How do I reset the QR600 to factory settings?

In the DEMO software advanced settings, go to 'Device operation' and click 'Factory reset'. Note: This will restore default parameters. It is recommended to export your configuration first via 'Export configuration' (saves as cfg.json).

How do I upgrade the firmware?

In the DEMO software, go to 'Firmware upgrade', click 'Open File' to select the upgrade file, then click 'Start'. Reconnect the USB to complete the upgrade. Ensure the upgrade file is correct.

What does the beeper and LED indicate?

The Beeper provides audible feedback (e.g., successful card read). The LED provides visual status (e.g., green for access granted, red for denied). Exact behavior depends on controller settings.

Is the QR600 waterproof?

Yes, it has an IP65 rating, meaning it is protected against dust and low-pressure water jets. Suitable for outdoor use under eaves.
