Features

Model 

PRX-5

is designed to mullion mount to metal door or window frames, or any flat surface.

The 

PRX-5 

integrates a 125KHz proximity card reader 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-5

are both capable of transmitting data in 26-

Bit Wiegand format, making it compatible with any of the Wiegand equipped Viking entry
controllers. The keypad is based on 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 (bump dot) on the 5-key for the visually impaired.

The 

PRX-5

delivers non-contact read ranges up to 6 inches (152.4 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-5

ships

with a black cover.

The 

PRX-5

comes equipped with Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP) for outdoor installations

where the unit is exposed to precipitation or condensation. The 

PRX-5

features sealed

connections, as well as an epoxy potted circuit board. For more information on Enhanced
Weather Protection (EWP), see
