HID 5355A-302-03 Cover, For ProxPro Reader with Keypad, Beige

It is the keypad version of the ProxPro housing, covering the 125 kHz ProxPro with keypad built on base part numbers 5355, 5352 and 5358. Check the base number stamped on your unit before ordering, because a ProxPro without a keypad uses a different cover with no key cutouts.

No - those are two different kinds of item. The HID 5355A-302-03 is a beige replacement cover for the ProxPro reader with keypad, a housing part rather than a working reader. The SDC IPRW Series is a Wiegand proximity reader with 125 kHz HID compatibility, meaning it is a complete reading device. If the ProxPro electronics are still good and only the outer cover is cracked, faded, or vandalized, the 5355A-302-03 restores the unit; if the reader itself has failed, you need a reader, not a cover.

The ProxPro with keypad measures 5.0 x 5.0 x 1.0 inches (12.7 cm x 12.7 cm x 2.54 cm), so the cover matches that footprint. That's a mullion-unfriendly size, it wants a flat wall or a wide frame, not a narrow aluminum stile.

No. The cover is a housing part, so the reader keeps whatever it already has: 125 kHz proximity, read range up to 8.0 inches (20.5 cm), 10-28.5 VDC power, and whichever interface the unit was built with (Wiegand, Serial RS-232/RS-422, or Clock-and-Data). Nothing about the head-end connection changes when you replace the shell.

If the electronics are gone, you are replacing the reader, not the housing. On a Wiegand 125 kHz system, SDC's IPRW Series Wiegand proximity reader is built for 125 kHz HID compatibility, so it can go back on the same Wiegand wiring. Note it is a prox reader, so if you need PIN entry you still want a keypad reader in its place.

The SDC IPRW Series is a Wiegand proximity reader built for 125 kHz HID compatibility, so it reads the same 125 kHz credential population the ProxPro with keypad was installed to read, and it outputs Wiegand - one of the interface options the ProxPro family supports alongside serial RS-232/RS-422 and clock-and-data. Note the IPRW is a proximity reader; if your opening requires PIN entry at the door, confirm keypad capability before you swap, since the ProxPro unit the 5355A-302-03 cover fits is a keypad model.

Recovering it is the lighter job. The HID 5355A-302-03 is a beige cover for the ProxPro reader with keypad, so the wiring, the mounting footprint, and the head-end configuration all stay as they are - the credential population and the panel input are untouched. Changing to a different reader such as the SDC IPRW Series, a Wiegand 125 kHz HID-compatible proximity reader, means re-terminating at the door and confirming the new unit covers the same 5.0 in x 5.0 in footprint the ProxPro occupies, plus checking whether you still need keypad PIN entry at that opening.

Yes, the ProxPro line is commercial access control hardware, and this is the beige cover for the keypad version. Beige is the common match for older ProxPro installs, so if you are refreshing one opening in a building full of them, the beige keeps the fleet looking consistent.
