HID 6008B2B07 ProxPoint Plus Reader, Clock and Data output, Designer Charcoal Gray, 18 In. Pigtail

Yes. The ProxPoint Plus mounts directly on metal with no change in read range performance, so a hollow metal frame, aluminum mullion, or metal door jamb is a valid mounting surface. No spacer or backplate is required to preserve read distance.

It is a 125 kHz proximity reader, so it reads 125 kHz prox credentials. If your building is already running 125 kHz prox cards and fobs, they will present to this reader. It will not read 13.56 MHz smart credentials.

The reader body measures 3.14 x 1.70 x 0.66 inches (7.96 cm x 4.3 cm x 1.68 cm), so at 1.70 inches across its narrow dimension it fits on most standard aluminum door stiles and mullions without overhang. Projection off the surface is 0.66 inches.

The HID 6008B2B07 ProxPoint Plus is built with a Clock and Data output, so a panel input expecting Wiegand will not read it correctly. For a Wiegand-input panel, the SDC IPRW Series is a Wiegand proximity reader with 125 kHz HID compatibility, which matches both the signaling your panel expects and the 125 kHz credential technology the ProxPoint Plus reads. Confirm the output format on your controller's reader port before ordering either one, since that single detail decides which of the two will work.

Yes on the credential side. The ProxPoint Plus 6008B2B07 is a 125 kHz proximity card reader, and the SDC IPRW Series is a 125 kHz HID-compatible proximity reader, so an existing 125 kHz prox card fleet works with either. Where they differ is the panel interface: the ProxPoint Plus 6008B2B07 outputs Clock and Data, while the IPRW is a Wiegand reader. If you are standardizing a facility that already carries 125 kHz cards, you can mix the two across openings as long as each reader's output format matches the controller port it lands on.

Read range is up to 3.0 inches (7.5 cm). That is a present-the-card reader, not a hands-free or drive-up device, so plan on the user touching the card to the face or holding it within a couple of inches. For gates or vehicle lanes you need a long-range reader instead.

This version ships with an 18 inch pigtail, so the reader leads come out short and get spliced to your home-run cable. Plan a back box, mullion cavity, or a nearby junction point within that 18 inches to land the splice. Terminal-strip versions of the ProxPoint Plus terminate differently.

The ProxPoint Plus 6008B2B07 is the one to reach for on metal. It can mount directly on metal with no change in read range performance, and its body measures 3.14 in. x 1.70 in. x 0.66 in., narrow enough for a frame face or mullion. It runs on 5-16 VDC, reads up to about 3 in., and ships with an 18 in. pigtail for splicing into your home run. The SDC IPRW Series is the alternative to consider when the opening is fed by a Wiegand controller rather than a Clock and Data one.

It has a beeper and a multicolor LED, and both can be host controlled, locally controlled, or both. That lets your panel drive the LED for granted/denied indication, or you can leave the reader to signal a read locally.

Finish is Designer Charcoal Gray, a dark neutral that blends with bronze and dark anodized aluminum frames. The reader is rated for commercial use, which is what you want on a building entry, tenant suite door, or stairwell in a multi-family or office property.
