The HID ProxPoint Plus Mini Mullion Reader (6005BGB00) is a compact 125 kHz access control reader from HID. At 80 mm long and 44 mm wide it is the smallest of the four HID Proximity readers we list, made for door mullions and narrow frames. This is the Wiegand model in HID's Classic Charcoal Grey cover, with a 0.46 m pigtail lead. It reads HID Proximity cards and fobs and has no keypad.

It is a reader, not a standalone controller. It must be wired to an access control panel and fed from a 5 to 16 V DC supply - the panel decides who gets in and drives the lock. If you need a unit that controls a lock by itself, see the standalone options in the reader-only note below.

The ProxPoint Plus suits a site that runs HID 125 kHz proximity cards and needs a small reader on a door frame. It reads a ProxCard II card at up to 7.6 cm. It does not read 13.56 MHz smart cards such as Seos, iCLASS or MIFARE unless the card also carries HID Prox. Its electronics are potted and the reader is IP55 rated for indoor or outdoor mounting, and it is designed to mount directly onto metal with no change in read range. Need a longer read range? The HID MiniProx reads the same card at up to 14 cm, and is a special order item.

Dispatch
Estimated Dispatch
Usually ships same day if ordered before 11am AEST (excludes weekends and Queensland public holidays).
Reader Only - Needs an Access Control Panel (Sold Separately)
The ProxPoint Plus has no lock relay and holds no users of its own. It passes the number on each card or fob to an access control panel, and the panel releases the electric strike, magnetic lock or other locking device. You also need a 5 to 16 V DC power supply and the cable run back to the panel - none of these are in the box. Looking for a unit that works on its own? The Neptune ACKPWB6K standalone keypad and the McGrath TGFP70 access control keypad both work as standalone keypads, and there are more in our keypads range. Not sure which way to go? Ask for a locksmith recommendation.

Access Methods

The ProxPoint Plus reads HID's 125 kHz proximity credentials - cards, key fobs and adhesive tags. It has no keypad and no fingerprint sensor. A 13.56 MHz smart card is not read unless it also carries HID Prox. The Credential Compatibility table below lists typical maximum read ranges and the credentials we stock for it.

Method This Reader Notes
125 kHz Proximity Card Yes HID ProxCard II cards and ISOProx II cards - both are on our HID 125 kHz proximity card listing. More in card and fob access.
Proximity Key Fob Yes The HID ProxKey III key fob, read at up to 3.7 cm.
Adhesive Proximity Tag Yes The HID MicroProx adhesive tag sticks to a non-metallic card or device and is read at up to 5.1 cm.
13.56 MHz Smart Cards Not Available Seos, iCLASS and MIFARE cards work at 13.56 MHz, and a 125 kHz reader does not read them unless the card also carries HID Prox. For a reader that takes them, see the rest of the HID range.
Phone Not Available No Bluetooth or NFC. For phone credentials see the rest of the HID range.
PIN Code Not Available No keypad on the ProxPoint Plus. For a keypad see our keypads range.
Fingerprint Not Available No fingerprint sensor. See our fingerprint range.

Credential Compatibility and Read Range

Read range depends on the credential as much as the reader. These are HID's typical maximum figures for the ProxPoint Plus, and they vary with installation conditions.

A proximity credential only opens a door once its card format, facility code and card number match what your access control panel expects. Tell us what your site uses before you order cards, fobs or tags, or send us a photo of an existing card and any numbers printed on it. HID Proximity readers are made for HID Proximity credentials: an Indala format credential needs an Indala compatible reader, and HID points EM cards to other readers - see page 44 of HID's ordering guide (PDF). HID's card figures for the ProxPoint Plus are on page 2 of the ProxPoint Plus datasheet (PDF); the fob and tag figures are from each credential's own datasheet.

Key Features

  • Mini mullion reader - 80 mm long, 44 mm wide and 17 mm deep, for door mullions and narrow frames.
  • HID 125 kHz proximity - reads HID Proximity cards with formats up to 85 bits, plus key fobs and adhesive tags. See Credential Compatibility.
  • Designed for metal - mounts directly onto metal, such as a door mullion, with no change in read range.
  • Potted electronics and an IP55 rating, for indoor and outdoor use.
  • Wiegand output for the access control panel.
  • Wide supply range - 5 to 16 V DC, drawing 30 mA on average and 75 mA at peak.
  • Beeper and multicolour LED - as supplied, the LED rests red, and the reader beeps and flashes green when it reads a credential.
  • Self-test at power-up - the reader checks its own configuration each time it powers up, and a loop-back test lets an installer check its inputs and outputs without extra test equipment.
  • 0.46 m pigtail lead (18 inches) for the join to the panel cable. The colour code is under Power, Wiring and Panel Connection.
  • Replaceable cover - HID makes Classic and Designer covers for it in other colours. See Accessories and Credentials.
  • C-tick for Australia and New Zealand, and covered by HID's lifetime reader warranty.

What's in the Box

  • 1 x HID ProxPoint Plus reader (6005BGB00) with Classic Charcoal Grey cover and 0.46 m pigtail lead
  • 2 x #6-32 x 1 inch self-tapping screws
  • 1 x multilingual installation manual
Not Included
The access control panel, DC power supply, cable, cards, fobs and tags are not included. HID's installation guide also recommends nine wire splices and a grommet for the job, which are not supplied. The two supplied screws are #6-32 self-tapping screws - check that they suit your frame before you install the reader, and have your own fixings ready if they do not.

Suitable Uses

  • Narrow aluminium door frames and mullions on a panel-based access control system - the body is 44 mm wide and 80 mm long. Check the frame first - see how to measure stile width.
  • Sites already running HID 125 kHz proximity cards that need another reader, or a like-for-like replacement.
  • Office, tenancy and common-area doors where a card or fob is all that is wanted. See choosing a platform for commercial, office and retail sites.
  • Panels with Wiegand reader inputs, including sites with many readers - each one draws 30 mA on average.
  • External doors - the reader is IP55 rated, with potted electronics, for indoor and outdoor use, and it works from -30 to +65 deg C.
Not Suitable For
Standalone use without an access control panel - it cannot switch a lock on its own. Sites on 13.56 MHz smart cards such as Seos, iCLASS or MIFARE - the ProxPoint Plus will not read them unless they also carry HID Prox; see the rest of the HID range. Indala or EM format 125 kHz cards and fobs - HID lists other readers for those; the ProxPoint Plus is made for HID Proximity credentials. Doors that need a PIN or a fingerprint - there is no keypad and no fingerprint sensor; see our keypads and fingerprint ranges. Reading a card from more than a few centimetres - it reads a ProxCard II card at up to 7.6 cm; the HID MiniProx and the HID ThinLine II reach 14 cm, and both are special order items.

A proximity credential has to carry the card format, facility code and number range your panel expects, so tell us what your site uses before you order - browse all RFID fobs, tags and cards, or contact us with your existing card details and we will check what your site needs. The cover part numbers are on page 33 of HID's ordering guide (PDF).

Power, Wiring and Panel Connection

The reader runs from 5 to 16 V DC and connects to the panel through its 0.46 m pigtail lead. This part number is the Wiegand model - HID also makes a Clock-and-Data ProxPoint Plus (6008B), which we do not list.

Supply 5 to 16 V DC. HID recommends a linear supply.
Current draw 30 mA average, 75 mA peak
Panel connection Wiegand
Cable run Up to 150 m on 22 AWG
Connection Pigtail lead, 0.46 m (18 inches)
LED and beeper As supplied (HID's configuration 00) the beeper is on, the LED rests red and the reader flashes it green on a read. HID also builds the ProxPoint Plus in configurations where the panel drives the LED - contact us if your site needs one.

The five optional wires are connected only where the panel uses them. HID notes that the drain wire can be the data return line when a separate power supply is used.
Wiring Notes
  • Check every core against the colour code before powering up.
  • Extra conductors may be needed in the cable if the panel is to control the LED or the beeper - HID's guide recommends a shielded 22 AWG cable with 5 to 9 conductors.
  • HID's guide says that, for regulatory compliance, the drain wire should be disconnected at the power supply end of the cable, and that the reader is intended to be powered from a limited power source output of a certified power supply.
  • HID's installation guide gives 35 mA as the maximum average current; the datasheet gives 30 mA average and 75 mA peak. Size the supply on the peak.
  • Check that your panel's reader port is set for Wiegand, and for the card format your credentials carry, before the reader goes on the frame.
  • Keep the reader cable away from mains wiring.
  • On an external frame, protect the cable joins from moisture.
The colour code is on page 1 of HID's installation guide (PDF) and HID's electrical figures are on page 2 of the ProxPoint Plus datasheet (PDF).

HID's datasheet gives the reader as 43.7 mm wide, 79.6 mm long and 16.8 mm deep, and its drawing shows two fixing holes 68.3 mm apart. HID's installation guide draws the same two holes and shows the pigtail leaving the back of the reader 33.4 mm above the lower one. The outline drawing is on page 1 of the ProxPoint Plus datasheet (PDF) and the fixing drawing on page 1 of HID's installation guide (PDF).

Installation and Setup

  1. Check the frame - the reader needs a flat face at least 45 mm wide and a path for the cable into the frame or wall.
  2. Run the cable from the access control panel and join it to the reader's pigtail lead using the colour code above.
  3. Fix the reader to the mullion or frame with the two supplied screws - its two fixing holes are 68.3 mm apart.
  4. Power up and test. The reader runs a self-test at power-up and the LED rests red. Present a card: the reader beeps and the LED flashes green.
Installation Tips
  • The ProxPoint Plus is designed to mount directly onto metal with no change in read range, so it can go straight onto an aluminium frame.
  • The reader is IP55 rated, with potted electronics, for indoor and outdoor use. On an external frame, seal the cable entry and protect the cable joins from moisture.
  • HID makes Classic and Designer covers for the ProxPoint Plus in other colours - contact us to order one.
  • The pigtail leaves the back of the reader 33 mm above the lower fixing hole - mark the cable hole from HID's drawing before you drill, and check the clearance inside the frame.
The reader comes with HID's multilingual installation manual, and a copy of HID's installation guide is under Download PDF Resources. An access control reader is a job for a security installer or locksmith - see when DIY is and is not appropriate, our advice and installation page and installation across the Gold Coast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this reader work on its own?
No. It reads the card or fob and passes its number to an access control panel, which makes the decision and releases the lock. You need a compatible panel with a Wiegand reader input and a 5 to 16 V DC supply. If you want one unit that does it all, look at a standalone keypad such as the Neptune ACKPWB6K or the McGrath TGFP70 instead.
Which cards and fobs does it read?
HID 125 kHz proximity credentials - ProxCard II and ISOProx II cards, the ProxKey III key fob and the MicroProx adhesive tag. It does not read 13.56 MHz smart cards such as Seos, iCLASS or MIFARE unless the card also carries HID Prox. An Indala format credential needs an Indala compatible reader, and HID lists other readers for EM cards. The Credential Compatibility table lists the credentials we stock.
Is it suitable for narrow aluminium door frames?
Yes. It is a mini mullion reader - 44 mm wide and 80 mm long - and it is designed to mount directly onto metal with no change in read range. Measure the flat face of your frame first; see how to measure stile width.
Can it be mounted outside?
Yes. The reader is IP55 rated, with potted electronics, for indoor and outdoor use, and it works from -30 to +65 deg C. On an external frame, protect the cable joins from moisture.
ProxPoint Plus or MiniProx - which one?
Both are HID 125 kHz mullion readers with Wiegand output, a pigtail lead and an IP55 rating. The ProxPoint Plus is the smaller of the two - 80 mm long against 152 mm - and reads a ProxCard II card at up to 7.6 cm against 14 cm. Pick the ProxPoint Plus where there is less room on the frame, or when you need a reader sooner; pick the HID MiniProx for read range. The MiniProx is a special order item.

Additional Information

  • Check your cards before you order. The ProxPoint Plus reads HID 125 kHz proximity credentials and will not read a 13.56 MHz smart card unless it also carries HID Prox. If you are not sure what your cards are, send us a photo of the card and any numbers printed on it.
  • Card format matters. A new card, fob or tag only works once its format, facility code and number range match what your panel expects. Have those details ready when you order credentials.
  • Size the power supply on the peak. Each ProxPoint Plus draws 30 mA on average and 75 mA at peak. On a shared supply, add up the peaks. HID recommends a linear supply.
  • Read range is short. A ProxCard II card reads at up to 7.6 cm and a ProxKey III fob at up to 3.7 cm, so users present the credential close to the reader. If you need more reach, see the HID MiniProx or the HID ThinLine II - both are special order items.
  • Planning a move to smart cards? 125 kHz proximity is HID's long-established card technology. HID's current readers take secure 13.56 MHz credentials, and some read 125 kHz as well, which lets a site change its readers first and its cards later. Browse the HID range or ask for a locksmith recommendation.

HID ProxPoint Plus Reader - FAQ, Setup and Owner's Guide

Everything below is here to help you choose, wire, set up and live with the HID ProxPoint Plus reader. For general questions see our Smart Lock FAQ (Chapter 13), and for the bigger picture start with the Buyer's Guide.

Choosing the Right Reader

What is the HID ProxPoint Plus?
It is a mini mullion 125 kHz proximity reader. It reads HID Proximity cards, fobs and tags, then passes their numbers to an access control panel over Wiegand. It is 80 mm long, 44 mm wide and 17 mm deep, runs on 5 to 16 V DC and is IP55 rated for indoor or outdoor mounting.
Does the ProxPoint Plus work without an access control panel?
No. It has no relay to switch a lock and no user list of its own - it is one part of a wired access control system. The panel holds the users and releases the door. For a unit that works alone, see the Neptune ACKPWB6K standalone and Wiegand keypad, the McGrath TGFP70 access control keypad or the rest of our keypads.
What is the difference between the ProxPoint Plus and the MiniProx?
Size and read range. The ProxPoint Plus is 80 mm long and reads a ProxCard II card at up to 7.6 cm; the HID MiniProx is 152 mm long and reads the same card at up to 14 cm. Both are Wiegand mullion readers on 5 to 16 V DC, both are rated IP55 and both read the same HID Proximity credentials. The MiniProx is a special order item.
When would I choose the ThinLine II instead?
When the reader goes on a wall rather than a door frame, or when you want more read range. The HID ThinLine II mounts on a single gang electrical box and reads a ProxCard II card at up to 14 cm. It is a special order item.
Is there a long range reader in this family?
Yes. The HID MaxiProx reads a ProxCard II card at up to 60.9 cm and is made for parking and vehicle entry.
Is there a ProxPoint Plus with a keypad or a fingerprint sensor?
No. The ProxPoint Plus is a card and fob reader. For a keypad see our keypads range; for fingerprint see our fingerprint range.

Cards, Fobs and Compatibility

Which credentials does the ProxPoint Plus read?
HID 125 kHz proximity credentials. From our range that means the ProxCard II and ISOProx II cards on our HID 125 kHz proximity card listing, the HID ProxKey III key fob and the HID MicroProx adhesive tag.
Does it read Seos, iCLASS or MIFARE cards?
No. Those are 13.56 MHz smart cards, and a 125 kHz reader will not see them unless the card also carries HID Prox. Some of HID's current readers take both technologies - browse the HID range.
What about EM or Indala cards?
It is made for HID Proximity credentials. HID's ordering guide points Indala format credentials to an Indala compatible reader and EM cards to other readers (page 44 of HID's ordering guide (PDF)), so check with us before you buy if that is what your site uses.
How close does the credential need to be?
HID's typical maximum figures for the ProxPoint Plus are 7.6 cm for a ProxCard II card, 6.35 cm for an ISOProx II card, 3.7 cm for a ProxKey III fob and 5.1 cm for a MicroProx tag. They vary with installation conditions.
Will my existing HID cards work?
Yes, if they are HID Proximity cards carrying an HID format. Whether the door then opens is up to the panel - the card's format, facility code and number have to be ones the panel knows. Send us a photo of a card if you are not sure what you have.
What is a card format?
It is the way the number on a credential is laid out. HID's open 26-bit format, H10301, carries a facility code up to 255 and a card number up to 65,535; HID's other common formats include 35 and 37-bit layouts. New credentials have to be ordered in the format your panel is set up for. HID explains formats on pages 8 and 9 of its proximity catalogue (PDF).
What does "formats up to 85 bits" mean?
It is the longest card number layout the reader can take. The reader recognises formats up to 85 bits, which covers HID's common 26-bit format and its longer ones.
Does it work with phones?
No. It has no Bluetooth or NFC. For phone credentials see the rest of the HID range.

Power and Wiring

What power does the ProxPoint Plus need?
5 to 16 V DC, and HID recommends a linear supply. The reader draws 30 mA on average and 75 mA at peak.
Will it work with my access control panel?
Yes, if the panel takes Wiegand readers. Tell us the panel make and model and we will check it before you order.
Is this the Wiegand or the Clock-and-Data model?
Wiegand. HID's 6005B is the Wiegand ProxPoint Plus; 6008B is the Clock-and-Data model, which we do not list.
How long can the cable run be?
Up to 150 m on 22 AWG cable.
How is it connected?
Through a 0.46 m (18 inch) pigtail lead that you join to the panel cable, colour by colour. The colour code is under Power, Wiring and Panel Connection.
What do the pigtail colours mean?
Red is the positive supply and black is ground. Green is Wiegand Data 0 and white is Wiegand Data 1. The drain wire is the shield ground. Orange and brown are the green and red LED lines, yellow is the beeper, blue is hold and violet is card present - those five are optional. The table is under Power, Wiring and Panel Connection.
Can the panel control the LED and beeper?
Yes. The multicolour LED and the beeper can be under the reader's own control or the host panel's. As supplied - HID's configuration 00 - the beeper is on, the LED rests red and the reader itself flashes it green on a read. HID also builds configurations in which the host must drive the LED - contact us if your site needs one.

Installation and Mounting

What does it mount on?
A door mullion or frame. It is designed for mounting directly onto metal with no change in read range, and it fixes through two holes 68.3 mm apart.
What fixings come with it?
Two #6-32 x 1 inch self-tapping screws. #6-32 is an inch-series thread, so check that they suit your frame and have your own fixings ready if they do not. HID's guide also recommends nine wire splices and a grommet, which are not supplied.
Do I need a spacer on an aluminium frame?
No. The ProxPoint Plus is designed to mount directly onto metal, so no spacer is needed for read range.
Can the cover be changed?
Yes. HID makes Classic covers in Charcoal Grey, White, Beige and Black and Designer covers in Black, Charcoal Grey, Wave Blue and White. We do not list them, so contact us with the part number from the Accessories and Credentials table.
What should I check before drilling the frame?
That the frame has a flat face at least 45 mm wide, that the cable can get from the reader position back to the panel, and that nothing inside the frame is in the way of the fixings. The pigtail leaves the back of the reader 33 mm above the lower fixing hole.
Who should install it?
A security installer or locksmith. The reader is one part of a wired system and has to be matched to the panel - see when DIY is and is not appropriate, our advice and installation page and installation across the Gold Coast.

Setup and Operation

What does the reader do when it reads a card?
It beeps and its LED flashes from red to green. It then passes the card number to the panel, and the panel decides whether to release the door.
What happens at power-up?
The reader runs an internal self-test that checks its configuration and whether the LED and beeper are under its own control or the panel's, then starts reading. A separate loop-back test lets an installer check the reader's outputs and inputs without extra test equipment.
The reader beeps but the door stays locked. Why?
The beep and green flash show the reader has read the credential. Usually the panel has not accepted it - check that the card is enrolled at the panel and that its format and facility code are the ones the panel expects. If those are right, have the data wiring between the reader and the panel checked.
The reader does not react to my card. What should I check?
First the card type - this reader reads HID 125 kHz proximity credentials. A 13.56 MHz smart card is not read unless it also carries HID Prox, an Indala format credential needs an Indala compatible reader, and HID lists other readers for EM cards. Then the distance: a card reads at up to 7.6 cm and a key fob at up to 3.7 cm. Then the power: the reader needs 5 to 16 V DC on its red and black wires. If all of that is right, contact us.
Does the reader hold any users or settings?
No users, and nothing you set on site. Users, schedules and door settings all live in the access control panel. The reader's own behaviour - beeper on, LED resting red - is set at the factory.

Weather and Mounting Surface

Is IP55 enough for an outside door?
Yes. HID rates the ProxPoint Plus IP55 and describes its potted electronics as ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. See our guide to IP ratings.
What temperatures can it work in?
-30 to +65 deg C, at up to 95 percent relative humidity, non-condensing. Long exposure to direct sun is hard on any electronic device - see how sunlight and heat affect lifespan.
Does a metal frame shorten the read range?
No. The ProxPoint Plus is designed to mount directly onto metal, such as a door mullion, with no change in read range.

HID Warranty

HID branded readers, credentials and accessories are covered by warranties issued by HID Global Corporation and its affiliated entities (part of ASSA ABLOY), distributed in Australia by LSC. Most HID readers and HID-branded credentials carry lifetime cover; a small number of specific models and accessories carry a fixed term instead.

The summary below sets out HID's published warranty structure. All warranty claims are handled by Terry's Tradies Pty Ltd and its associated websites, trading names, and subsidiaries. Full terms and exclusions are set out in the official HID Global Warranty Policy linked at the base of this page.

Understanding "Lifetime" Cover

HID's published policy uses the term "Lifetime Warranty Period" without defining it further - it is not stated as a fixed number of years, "for the life of the product", or "as long as you own it". It applies for as long as HID continues to honour that stated period under its published policy.

How to Make a Claim

For full returns and warranty claim procedures, visit our Returns & Warranty page - this is kept up to date and is the authoritative reference for current claim steps.
  1. Contact Terry's Tradies Pty Ltd and its associated websites, trading names, and subsidiaries with your proof of original purchase and a description of the fault.
  2. Where a claim needs to be escalated, HID requires written notice from the end customer within the applicable warranty period - we handle this notification on your behalf.
  3. HID's remedy, at its own option, is to repair the product, replace it, or issue a credit towards a future purchase.
  4. Postage, insurance and shipping costs to present hardware for warranty assessment are the end customer's responsibility under HID's policy - we'll advise what's needed before anything is sent.

Exclusions

This warranty does not cover, and will be voided by, any of the following:

  • Installation by anyone other than HID or an HID-authorised installer
  • Use other than as authorised in HID's own documentation
  • Modification, alteration or repair by a party other than HID
  • Combination with hardware, operating systems or tools not provided by HID
  • Accident, neglect, misuse or negligence
  • Upgrades, evaluation units and demonstration units
  • Consumables - batteries, paper, pads, cleaning solution, towels, cartridges and cables

Important Notes

Australian Consumer Law
This manufacturer warranty applies in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the ACL. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. Where a failure does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced.
Benefit of the Original End Customer
HID's published policy states the warranty is solely for the benefit of the original end customer. Products purchased through Terry's Tradies Pty Ltd and its associated websites are covered as supplied - contact us in the first instance for any claim rather than approaching HID directly.
Accessories and Mounting Hardware Not Listed Above
A small number of HID accessories (such as certain Signo mounting plates and wall spacers) are not individually named in HID's published policy. Where this applies, contact us to confirm the term that applies to your specific item before relying on the Lifetime cover shown above for readers.
