Genovation 905-RFID-R5: Secure, Contactless Keypad for Faster POS Transactions
The 905-RFID-R5 is a new dual-frequency RFID keypad that lets students tap and go—cutting wait times while boosting accuracy. Built for security and speed, it’s the smart choice to streamline your POS process, and make lunch line processing fast, smooth, and more enjoyable for students and staff.
The 905-RFID-R5 is a compact RFID reader that supports both 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz card formats, including MiFare and HID Prox. It’s ideal for K–12 schools looking to modernize their cafeteria or attendance check-in processes — with no major system overhaul required. Students simply tap their RFID enabled student I.D. card on the Genovation RFID RF5 PIN pad and their student ID# will be transmitted to the POS system. It’s fast, accurate, and reliable.
Dual-frequency support for broad compatibility (125 kHz + 13.56 MHz)
Works with popular formats like MiFare and HID Prox
Tap-and-go convenience — Faster than scanning or manual input
Faster throughput during peak times
Contactless check-in for better hygiene
Seamless integration Works with your software, just like your other PIN pads
No complicated setup. No special software. The 905-RFID-R5 outputs each card’s factory-encoded UID (Unique Identifier) as a decimal number, sent via USB as either a keyboard input or a virtual serial ASCII device — ready for use in your current software.
Integration Highlights:
Plug-and-play with Genovation MiniTerm pin pads
USB output: keyboard or serial ASCII
HID card support: configure to show card ID only, or card ID + facility code
Works out-of-the-box with most cafeteria and attendance systems
Whether you’re managing a single school cafeteria or overseeing district-wide technology upgrades, the 905-RFID-R5 makes it easy to improve efficiency without disrupting daily operations. Keep your staff focused on service, not scanning issues.
