HID 5355A-302-02 Cover, For ProxPro Reader, Charcoal Gray

It's the replacement cover only, in charcoal gray, for the HID ProxPro proximity reader. No electronics, no card-reading module. If your ProxPro was vandalized, sun-faded, or cracked during a tenant turnover, this swaps the housing and keeps the reader you already have in service. If you need a working reader, you need a ProxPro unit under base part numbers 5355, 5352 or 5358.

It's built for the ProxPro 125 kHz proximity reader family, whose base part numbers are 5355, 5352 and 5358. Those are the same physical housing at 5.0 x 5.0 x 1.0 inches (12.7 cm x 12.7 cm x 2.54 cm), so the cover suits the ProxPro regardless of whether your unit was ordered with the Wiegand, Serial RS-232/RS-422, or Clock-and-Data interface.

A cover won't help a failed reader. If you're replacing the unit, SDC's IPRW Series Wiegand proximity reader is a 125 kHz HID-compatible option that works with the same credentials your ProxPro was reading, so your existing cards stay in service. Note that the SDC is Wiegand output; if your panel is wired for Serial RS-232/RS-422 or Clock-and-Data, you'd want a matching ProxPro instead.

No - they are two different classes of part. The HID 5355A-302-02 is a charcoal gray cover for the ProxPro reader, a replacement housing piece rather than a working reader. The SDC IPRW Series is a Wiegand proximity reader with 125 kHz HID compatibility, meaning it is a complete read head that terminates to a controller. If the ProxPro electronics are still good and only the cover is cracked, faded or missing, the 5355A-302-02 is the part that restores the unit; if the reader itself has failed, a full reader such as the IPRW Series is what replaces it.

The ProxPro is a 125 kHz proximity reader available with Wiegand, Serial (RS-232/RS-422) or Clock-and-Data output. A direct-swap alternative that keeps the same card population in service is the SDC IPRW Series, a Wiegand proximity reader listed with 125 kHz HID compatibility - so existing 125 kHz badges continue to read and a Wiegand-wired panel keeps its same output scheme. Note the 5355A-302-02 cover is sized to the ProxPro body at 5.0 in. x 5.0 in. x 1.0 in. and does not carry over to a different reader, so a reader swap means a new backplate footprint at the mounting location.

Charcoal gray is the finish offered on the 5355A-302-02. That's the standard darker ProxPro housing color, so if your fleet of readers across the property is charcoal, this keeps the entrances looking uniform after a single-door repair. It won't match a beige or gray-white ProxPro.

No. The cover is the outer housing; the ProxPro's stated read range of up to 8.0 inches (20.5 cm) and its 10-28.5 VDC power requirement come from the reader electronics inside, not the shell. Swap the cover and the reader behaves exactly as it did before.

Two paths. Keep the installed ProxPro base (part numbers 5355, 5352, 5358) and refresh the exterior with the 5355A-302-02 charcoal gray cover, which preserves the existing 10-28.5 VDC wiring, the read range of up to 8.0 in. and whatever interface - Wiegand, Serial or Clock-and-Data - the panel was wired for. Or change the read heads to a single model such as the SDC IPRW Series, a Wiegand proximity reader with 125 kHz HID compatibility, which standardizes on one output type across all openings while still reading the 125 kHz credentials already issued. The cover route touches no wiring; the reader route requires panel terminations at every door.

Yes, it's catalogued for commercial use as a part for HID's ProxPro electronic access control readers. For MRO and facilities buyers standardizing on ProxPro at 125 kHz, holding a couple of covers on the shelf means a damaged reader gets restored without pulling the unit and re-terminating the Wiegand or RS-422 run.
