Why integrators choose the H110-U
- No driver, no SDK — the reader works as a USB keyboard and types the card number into whichever field has the cursor.
- 10-digit decimal by default — the 4-byte card UID is sent as a 10-digit decimal number, and other formats can be set before shipment.
- Reads up to 80 mm — MIFARE Classic 1K (S50), MIFARE Classic 4K (S70), NTAG203 and other ISO 14443A cards, with a read time under 200 ms.
- 10 mm slim pad — 104 × 68 × 10 mm and about 140 g with a 1400 mm USB cable, so it lies flat beside a keyboard.
- Clear feedback — red LED on standby, green LED and a beep on every successful read.
Where the H110-U fits
The H110-U is the reader to put on a desk where a person needs a card number inside software quickly and without typing errors. Typical jobs are enrolling new MIFARE cards into access-control software, registering staff or visitors for attendance, and looking up members at a reception or POS counter.
Because it works as a USB keyboard, nothing is installed on the PC. The number goes into whichever field has the cursor: a web form, an Excel cell or the card-number box of your own application. At 10 mm thick and about 140 g, the pad lies flat next to a keyboard or under a monitor stand.
It is a read-only UID reader. It identifies a card by its unique ID; it does not read sector data, write to the card or copy it.
Matching the output to your software
By default the H110-U reads the 4-byte card UID and types it as a 10-digit decimal number. Many systems store the same UID differently, as 8-digit hex or with the byte order reversed, and that is the usual reason a card "reads a different number" from the one already enrolled. Compare a sample card with your database using the card number converter, then tell us the format you need: a custom output format is set before shipment. The card number formats guide explains the common variants.
On PCs with a non-US keyboard layout, set the input language to English (US) so the digits arrive correctly.

Integration in 4 steps
- 1
Plug the USB cable into the PC. The reader is recognized as a keyboard, no driver is installed, and the LED shows red (standby).
- 2
Open the target application, such as Notepad, Excel or your enrollment software, and click into the card-number field.
- 3
Present a card flat over the pad. The LED turns green, the buzzer sounds and the 10-digit UID is typed at the cursor.
- 4
If the number does not match your existing records, check it with the card number converter and ask for the matching output format before shipment.

H110-U FAQ
Can the H110-U write to MIFARE cards?
No. The H110-U is read-only: it reads the card UID and types it as a number. It does not write sectors, change keys or copy cards.
What number does the H110-U type for a card?
By default, the card's 4-byte UID as a 10-digit decimal number. If your software stores the UID as hex or in reversed byte order, the output format can be changed before shipment; compare a sample card with the card number converter first.
Does the H110-U read NTAG213 stickers?
NTAG203 is on its supported list; NTAG213 is an ISO 14443A tag but is not named for this model. NTAG tags carry a 7-byte UID while the default output is built from 4 bytes, so send a sample tag and we confirm the output before you order. The H150-U lists NTAG213.
How far away does a card read?
Up to 80 mm with a standard ISO card, depending on the card and its surroundings. Key fobs and small stickers read closer, and a metal desk under the reader reduces range.
Does the H110-U work on Linux and Android?
Yes. Linux and Android are on its supported list, along with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 10. On Android, connect it through a USB OTG adapter; the number is typed into the app that has focus.
