Viking Electronics adds layer of security to outside doors with PRX-5

The PRX-5 is a proximity card reader and keypad in one unit. Connect the PRX-5 to a compatible Viking door entry controller and issue your staff or tenants proximity entry cards, fobs, or personalized codes required for entry.

“We’ve never been fans of ‘planned obsolescence.’ Making the PRX-5’s buttons capacitive touch instead of mechanical means adding years onto its use – it’s just one less thing to worry about,” said Greg Yocom, Engineer at Viking Electronics.

The PRX-5 is a sleek mullion-mount proximity card reader and keyless entry code transmitter that includes a fully potted circuit board for outdoor installations. The keypad is based on cutting-edge, non-mechanical, capacitive technology. There are no moving parts, which makes it resistant to early failure. Blue LED lights illuminate the keypad from behind, making the PRX-5 easy to use in every light condition.

The PRX-5 uses 26-bit Wiegand format for data transfer, and is compatible with Viking’s K-1200-IP series, K-1700-IP series, AES-2000 series, and model ES-1 for door control and entry. Provide users with a Viking LRT-4, PRX-C, PRX-C-ISO, PRX-FOB, or a customized keyless entry code to gain access.
