1.DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATION
1.1. General information
RUD-3-DES is a miniature reader and writer for 13.56MHz ISO/IEC 14443A MIFARE® Classic,
Plus and DESFire standard proximity cards and is supplied from serial USB port which is also used
for communication with the device. The RUD-3-DES can be used as card enroll reader for access
control system or any other application which requires card reader. Card can be enrolled straight
from the PR Master (version 4.4.6 or newer is required), VISO or using dedicated Roger
MiniReader application (version 1.2 or newer required). RUD-3-DES can also provide a
transponder programmer functionality, but in such cases RogerVDM (v1.6.6.25795 or newer)
should be used. Roger company offers SDK programming package that enables a programmer to
develop customized applications for a specific requirements.
1.2. Features
•MIFARE®: Ultralight(1), Classic, Plus (S, X) and DESFire (EV1, EV2)
•Read number: CSN, SSN, MSN, DESFIREFile
•Write number: SSN, MSN, DESFire File
•Reading distance up to 6 cm for MIFARE® Classic, up to 2 cm for MIFARE® Plus and
DESFire
•Communication interface: USB-HID
•LED indicator
•Configuration from PC (RogerVDM software)
•USB cable with magnetic stand
•For indoor use only
•SDK programming package
•CE
(1) Ultralight support: card serial number (CSN) read only
1.3. Proximity Cards
RUD-3-DES is factory set for chip serial number (CSN –Chip Serial Number) reading. For higher
security level reading rules can be changed to handle programmable secure sector numbers (PCN
–Programmable Card Number, see AN024 MIFARE Cards document available at roger.pl website)
in such case a management tool RogerVDM must be used for configuration.
1.4. Card numbers
Reader Returned Card Number (RCN) is a combination of a Chip Serial Number (CSN) and
Programmable Card Number (PCN) created on the basis of following formula, CSN number of bytes
and PCN number length that results from flexible defined PCN first byte position (MSB) and PCN
last byte position (LSB) can be adjusted according user requirements.

2.WORKING WITH PC PROGRAMS
2.1. Roger MiniReader
The Roger MiniReader (v1.1.12 or newer) displays the list of available USB readers connected to
the PC. In order to read a single card, you need to select the Read single card command, and then
put a card close to the reader. When the code is read, it automatically appears in the Card codes
window. If you use the Read multiple cards command, program will read cards in a loop and insert
them to the Card codes window. In order to interrupt the reading process, you need to use the Stop
reading command. The cards read can automatically be copied to the Clipboard ( Tools > Options >
Copy card code to clipboard). By using it, the card codes can be moved to other applications or
saved to a text file (Tools > Options > Append card code to file).

2.2. RACS 4 and RACS 5 systems support
RUD-3-DES is well suited for RACS systems and can be used as an administrator reader for
entering new card numbers into access control applications. From the list of available readers for
PR Master or VISO control program choose RUD-3-DES and follow application reading steps.

2.3. Third-party software
Support for RUD-3-DES reader can also be implemented in other programs, in such case, the logic
of reader handling depends completely on the program’s author. For integration purposes a RUD-3-
DES software SDK has been released. SDK package contains DLL files dedicated for USB HID
class RUD-3-DES device, .NET software example and programmer documentation.
3.DEVICE CONFIGURATION
Card number read and write rules are configurable with RogerVDM (Windows) management tool that can
be downloaded from Roger website www.roger.pl.
3.1. RogerVDM configuration tool
For device configuration connect it to PC USB port and run RogerVDM software.
From the top menu list select Device > New than choose Your reader version and set USB
communication channel for USB-HID class device, finally press Connect button.

RUD-3-DES will be initialized for communication, device configuration window will appear
automatically:

Above window contains list of device configuration parameters which are explained in RogerVDM
application.
Note: reader parameter configuration applies to both write and read card number operation.
Configuration modifications must be confirmed with Send to device button to take effect.

3.2. Card number write and read operations
Card programming window is dedicated for PCN number programming operation according rules
setup from program Configuration window. Required PCN must be entered in the appropriate data
format DEC or HEX in the Card Code window box and confirmed with a proper “Program”button,
for Classic, Plus or DESFire type.

Write operation result will be confirmed with adequate message in the Messages box. RCN numer
can be read in Card Reader window.

4.DEVICE INSTALLATION
RUD-3-DES is a USB-HID (Human Interface Device Class) device and it’s supported by 32bit and 64bit
versions of Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7. RUD-3-DES doesn’t require dedicated drivers, it’s
handled by OS generic USB HID driver. You may connect the device directly to the PC USB port, driver
installation will start automatically.
Note: You should not disconnect a reader while the software working with it is being run. Violating this rule
usually causes that the application controlling the reader may hang up and you will have to terminate it by
using Windows Task Manager.
Programs provided by Roger (PR Master,VISO,Roger MiniReader and RogerVDM) automatically detect
that the RUD-3-DES reader and present it on the list of available devices.
The RUD-3-DES reader can be connected directly to the PCs USB socket or using a cable with magnetic
stand provided together with the reader. Using this cable is convenient because when you use a magnetic
stand, the reader can be located at computer’s case or any other metallic part of a desk or a table.
Optionally, the RUD-3-DES can be connected to computer by other USB cable of a length not exceeding 5
meters. However any modifications of original USB cables are prohibited. The only acceptable way of
prolonging USB cables is by using original factory-made extension cables.

5.FIRMWARE UPDATE
Firmware update can be performed with Roger firmware update tool RogerISP v4.3.4. Before beginning the
firmware update process You need to download adequate for Your device firmware file from manufacturer’s
website www.roger.pl and save it to known disk location. Close all programs associated with updated
reader and run RogerISP tool. Choose Your reader from the list and put appropriate location of the
firmware *.bin file, then You can push the “Program” button to start update, follow the instructions to end
this process correctly.
Warning: It is strongly recommended to act in accordance with program instructions, waiver of required
actions connected with violations of the update rules can damage Your device. Note that firmware update
process is done entirely at your own risk.
