The ACR1252U-DOT reader is an ideal replacement for the popular ACR122U reader - it does everything that the ACR122U did, with the addition of upgradable firmware capabilities, in an identical form-factor. (Only a very few software solutions that used the original ACR122 reader's direct command tunneling feature may need to be updated. For more information refer to https://buzz.smartcardfocus.com/acr122u-no-longer-available-best-alternative/.)

The ACR1252U from ACS is a 13.56 MHz USB contactless smartcard reader that supports ISO 14443 type A and B cards, MIFARE, FeliCa, and ISO 18092-compliant NFC cards and tags. Replacing the popular ACR122U, this reader provides compatibility with a wide range of cards, tags, credentials and up-to-date hardware.

NFC Forum certified, the ACR1252 supports all three modes of NFC with improved performance, including card reader/writer, card emulation and peer-to-peer communication.

The ACR1252U is CCID and PC/SC compliant, allowing interoperability with various different devices and software applications.

The ACR1252U-DOT model is housed in a plastic case with a captive cable. It is supplied with the default ACS label shown in the photograph, for you to apply to the reader, but the unbranded reader could just as easily take your own label or branding. We can assist with design and supply of custom labels to suit your application. Contact us to discuss options.

The ACR1252U is compatible with Read-a-Card, the contactless card ID reading application, useful for the integration/enrolment of RFID technology into new or existing systems.

An SDK is also available, as well as other model variations and OEM modules. Equivalent to ACS part ACR1252U-M1 but without the SAM slot. Previously supplied as ACR1252U-M2.
