HID MiniProx Reader

The HID MiniProx Reader delivers a compact, high-security proximity access solution crafted for mullion installations. Its potted electronics provide enhanced protection against moisture, dust, and tampering, delivering reliable card reads in demanding environments. With a slim, modern profile, this reader fits discreetly into storefronts, offices, and high-traffic entryways, while offering versatile mounting for indoor or outdoor use. It accepts a broad input range from 5 to 16 volts, ensuring compatibility with a wide spectrum of access control systems. Available with either Wiegand or Clock-and-Data interfaces, the MiniProx Reader is designed to integrate smoothly with existing panels and security software, enabling fast deployment without sacrificing performance or security.

• Potted electronics for enhanced security and reliability: The MiniProx reader uses sealed, potted electronics to protect critical components from moisture, dust, and environmental hazards. This design supports consistent card reads over time and reduces maintenance needs in outdoor or challenging environments. By sealing the interior, the reader resists the wear and tear of daily usage at doors, storefronts, and shared facilities, providing a dependable solution for mission-critical access control.
• Mullion-mount design with a slim, modern profile: Engineered for mounting on window frames, door frames, or metal mullions, the MiniProx Reader blends into architectural aesthetics while delivering dependable performance. The slim silhouette minimizes visual impact and helps integrate with glass and metal facades. Its durable construction stands up to high traffic and frequent use, making it suitable for retail, educational campuses, corporate buildings, and secure entryways that demand both form and function.
• Broad voltage compatibility (5–16 VDC): The reader supports a wide input range, simplifying installation across diverse security ecosystems. With a 5–16 VDC input, it accommodates most power supplies and access control panels without requiring special transformers or adapters. This flexibility reduces wiring complexity and helps installers deliver a clean, efficient deployment that remains compatible with future system upgrades.
• Flexible interface options: Wiegand or Clock-and-Data: The MiniProx Reader is available with either Wiegand or Clock-and-Data data interfaces, two of the most widely used protocols in access control. This versatility enables straightforward integration with a broad range of panels and software, minimizes compatibility concerns, and accelerates configuration. Whether you are upgrading an existing system or deploying a new one, the interface options create a future-proof solution that adapts to evolving security requirements.
• Elegant, durable design for long-term performance: Beyond security, the MiniProx Reader offers an attractive, low-profile appearance that complements modern architectural elements. Its combination of durable hardware and streamlined aesthetics makes it an ideal choice for retail entrances, corporate lobbies, campuses, and facilities requiring a professional, unobtrusive access solution. The reliable read performance and minimal maintenance translate into a lower total cost of ownership over the life of your access control deployment.

How to Install HID MiniProx Reader

• Determine the best mounting location on the mullion where the reader will be clearly visible to cardholders and away from obstructions.
• Power off the access control panel and prepare a 5–16 VDC power supply, or connect to an existing panel configured to the appropriate voltage.
• Run communication and power cables to the mounting location, following local codes and keeping wires protected from the elements if installed outdoors.
• Connect the MiniProx Reader to the access control panel using your chosen interface (Wiegand or Clock-and-Data) per the panel’s documentation. Verify polarity and data integrity before finalizing connections.
• Mount the reader to the mullion with the provided fasteners. Seal cable entry points if installed outdoors to preserve weather resistance and a clean appearance.
• Test the reader with an enrolled proximity credential to confirm a successful read and the correct access control response. Adjust timing, relay settings, and anti-passback options on the control panel as needed.
• Enroll users and distribute credentials as part of your standard provisioning process. Document installation details for future maintenance and audits.
