HID 6005BKB00 ProxPoint Plus Reader, Wiegand output, Black 18 In. Pigtail

Yes. The ProxPoint Plus is built to mount directly on metal with no change in read range performance, so a hollow metal frame, a steel mullion, or an aluminum stile is a normal install location. That is the reason integrators reach for this one on glass front entries, where the only thing to mount to is the door stile or frame.

The SDC IPRW Series is a Wiegand proximity reader built for 125 kHz HID compatibility, which is the same signaling and card frequency the ProxPoint Plus 6005BKB00 uses - it is a 125 kHz proximity reader with Wiegand output. That means the existing 125 kHz credentials in the field and the Wiegand input on the access control panel stay the same when the SDC IPRW takes the opening instead. Confirm the panel supply falls within the ProxPoint Plus range of 5-16 VDC, and note that the 6005BKB00 terminates in an 18 inch pigtail, so the wire pull and back box detail at the door frame is what usually differs between the two.

The ProxPoint Plus 6005BKB00 measures 3.14 in. x 1.70 in. x 0.66 in. (7.96 cm x 4.3 cm x 1.68 cm) and can mount directly on metal with no change in read range performance, holding up to 3.0 in. (7.5 cm) of read range on a steel surface - that is the specific behavior a narrow steel mullion asks for, since many prox readers detune when they are screwed to metal. The SDC IPRW Series is the alternative Wiegand 125 kHz reader in the same role. On a mullion application, take the mounting surface and the physical footprint as the deciding factor rather than the credential format, because both readers speak Wiegand at 125 kHz.

Up to 3.0 inches (7.5 cm) at 125 kHz. That is a present-the-card range, not a hands-free one, so plan for the user to touch the card or fob to the reader. If you need someone to be read from a foot or more away, or through a car window, a mini-mullion prox reader is the wrong device class and you want a long range reader instead.

It comes with an 18 inch pigtail, so the wiring is flying leads out the back of the reader, not a screw terminal on the device. You splice or terminate those leads to your home run inside the frame or a junction behind the reader. Eighteen inches is enough to reach into a mullion cavity or a box directly behind, but not enough to reach a distant panel, so plan a splice point close to the mounting location.

The SDC IPRW Series Wiegand proximity reader is the cross-brand alternative we carry: it is also a Wiegand output reader with 125 kHz HID compatibility, so it reads the same credential population and lands on the same panel input. Going that route lets you keep your existing HID cards and fobs in circulation while changing reader brands.

Card read only. The ProxPoint Plus 6005 is a 125 kHz proximity credential reader with no keypad, so it supports card or fob presentation and nothing else. If your facility requires a PIN, either alone or as a second factor with the card, you need a reader with an integrated keypad, not this one.

For 125 kHz credentials, yes - the SDC IPRW Series is specified for 125 kHz HID compatibility, and the ProxPoint Plus 6005BKB00 is a 125 kHz proximity reader, so both are reading the same card technology and both hand the credential to the panel over Wiegand. What HID compatible does not mean is that every HID credential in a facility will read: a card at another frequency is a different technology entirely and is outside what a 125 kHz reader can see. Before standardizing a mixed campus on either part, verify the cards in circulation are 125 kHz prox.

No. The 6005BKB00 ProxPoint Plus is a credential reader - it presents a beeper and multicolor LED that can be host and/or locally controlled, and it passes a read 125 kHz card to a separate access control panel over Wiegand. It makes no lock or unlock decision on its own and stores no user database. The SDC IPRW Series fills the same reader role, also over Wiegand at 125 kHz. Anything that decides access at the door, rather than reporting a credential upstream, is a different device in the system and does not replace either reader one for one.

Yes. The multicolor LED and the beeper can be host controlled, locally controlled, or both. That matters if you want the panel to drive a distinct indication for granted, denied, or door held open rather than just the reader's own local card-read chirp. Confirm your panel has the LED and buzzer control outputs wired out before you rely on host control.

Black is the finish on the 6005BKB00. If your other openings are running a different reader color and you are standardizing a building, note that the color is baked into the part number rather than being a field option, so you order the color you want as its own part.

Commercial. It is specified as a commercial access control reader, which is the class of device that goes on office suites, multi-family common doors, schools, and healthcare corridors where the reader is wired to a central panel rather than working standalone on a door.
