Outdoor IP65 Proximity EM 125kHz Card Reader with RS-485 Output

Product Overview

The PROID20BE-RS Proximity Card Reader is a compact, weatherized access control slave reader engineered for high-security environments and outdoor perimeter entry points. Operating at the standard 125 kHz (EM-Marin / TK4100) radio frequency, this reader is equipped with an RS-485 serial communication interface, enabling long-distance, noise-immune connectivity to multi-door access controllers without signal degradation or transmission errors.

Enclosed in a durable matte black polycarbonate housing rated at IP65 for water and dust ingress protection, the PROID20BE-RS withstands harsh weather conditions, including driving rain, airborne particulate matter, and extreme ambient temperature swings. It features an integrated touch-sensitive perimeter frame, a bi-color LED status indicator, and an internal acoustic beeper to deliver real-time visual and audible verification during access authentication. Delivering a steady contactless read range of up to 5 cm in under 300 milliseconds, it is an ideal choice for corporate entry gates, commercial barriers, pedestrian turnstiles, and industrial doorways.

Key Features

• 125 kHz EM Proximity Technology: Reads standard EM4100, TK4100, and compatible 125 kHz RFID proximity cards, keyfobs, and tags.

• RS-485 Long-Distance Output: Communicates over robust RS-485 serial bus topology up to 1,200 meters, reducing wiring costs and eliminating data line interference.

• IP65 Weatherproof Enclosure: Sealed against driving rain, high humidity, and airborne dust particles for reliable indoor or outdoor installation.

• Rapid Read Response: Accurately authenticates and processes card serial numbers in less than 300 milliseconds.

• Visual & Audible Verification: Bi-color LED light bar (Red/Green) and integrated acoustic buzzer confirm grant/deny access events.

• Wide Operating Voltage: Operates reliably on flexible 7V to 13V DC power lines with minimal current draw.

• Tamper Protection: Built-in optical tamper switch triggers immediate alarm notifications on the host controller if the device is forcibly dismounted.
