125KHz Proximity Card Readers

for Door Access, gate Entry and Parking Barriers

Features

The model 

PRX-1

is a 125KHz proximity card

reader and is designed to be mounted directly to a
metal door or window frame (mullions), making it
ideal for applications requiring an access creden-
tial. The proximity card reader transmits data in 26-
Bit Wiegand format, making it compatible with any
of the Wiegand equipped Viking entry controllers. 

The 

PRX-1

delivers non-contact read ranges up to

6 inches (152 mm), and operates from 5 to 14
VDC. Mounting is simplified with horizontal and
vertical mounting slots, which allow the reader to
be conveniently adjusted and leveled. Concealing
the mounting hardware, the 

PRX-1

ships with both

Black and Ash (Off-White) covers standard.

The 

PRX-1

is equipped with Enhanced Weather

Protection (

EWP

) for outdoor installations where

the unit is exposed to precipitation or condensa-
tion.  The 

PRX-1

features sealed connections, as

well as an epoxy potted circuit board. For more in-
formation, see
