HID Proximity ProxPro 5355 125 kHz wall switch proximity reader
The HID Proximity ProxPro 5355 is a widely used access control card reader designed to provide secure, convenient, and reliable entry management for buildings and restricted areas. Operating at 125 kHz, this proximity reader lets users present a card or fob to gain access, removing the need for physical keys. With a typical read range of up to eight inches, the HID ProxPro 5355 is ideal for medium-range applications where ease of use and quick access are important. It comes in a rugged, weather-sealed enclosure, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations, and it is certified for safety and compliance standards such as UL-294, FCC, and CE. The device works with Wiegand, serial (RS-232/RS-422), and Clock-and-Data interfaces, so it can connect easily to many access control systems.
One of the notable features of the HID
ProxPro 5355 is the availability of a keypad version, which enables dual
authentication using both card and PIN. It adds more protection to secure areas
without reducing user convenience. The reader features a multicolor LED and
audible beeper to indicate status, which can be disabled for silent operation.
The device uses 10–28.5 V DC, draws about 100 mA, and works in temperatures
from –30°C to +65°C, making it reliable in tough conditions. With options for
mounting behind glass using a dedicated kit, the HID ProxPro 5355 can be
adapted to almost any access control scenario, from corporate offices to
outdoor gate entry points.
The HID ProxPro 5355 is versatile and durable, making it a popular choice for organizations that want better security without adding complexity. It reads credentials at medium range, works well with existing systems, and fits a wide variety of environments. Even though it relies on 125 kHz proximity technology, which isn’t as secure as smart cards, it remains a dependable and affordable option for access control. Whether used as a standalone reader or paired with its keypad variant for dual authentication, the HID ProxPro 5355 ensures controlled and convenient access management, making it a trusted component in security infrastructure worldwide.
