125KHz Proximity Card Reader with Built-in Keypad

The model PRX-2 is designed to be mounted directly to standard single-gang wall box, and integrates both a 125KHz proximity card reader (supports Viking PRX-C, PRX-C-ISO, PRX-FOB and certain legacy HID® proximity protocols) and keypad into a single-unit making it ideal for applications requiring an access credential and/or personal identification number (PIN).

The proximity card reader and keypad of the PRX-2 both transmit data in 26-Bit Wiegand format, making it compatible with any of the Wiegand equipped Viking entry controllers. The keypad is based upon cutting-edge, non-mechanical, capacitive technology, which, unlike membrane keypads, includes no moving parts prone to early failure. Advanced keypad enhancements include fully potted circuit board (EWP), keys with blue LED backlighting, raised key outlines and pip on the 5-key.

The PRX-2 delivers non-contact read ranges up to 6 inches (152 mm), and operates from 5 to 14 VDC. Physical size is a compact 4.6 x 3 x 0.70 inches (117 x 77 x 18 mm). Mounting is simplified with horizontal and vertical mounting slots, which allow the reader to be conveniently adjusted and leveled. To allow both indoor and outdoor operation the electronics are sealed in tamper resistant epoxy potting. Concealing the mounting hardware, the PRX-2 ships with both Black and Ash (Off-White) covers standard.
