Prodatakey Red Mullion Reader High Security Mobile
Red readers are in a class of their own, with OSDP secure connectivity, high (13.56MHz) and low-frequency (125 kHz) communication, and mobile-ready options. Red readers are now one of the most secure and versatile readers on the market today, handling every application, from your daily install to the most secure implementation.
Features:
- Standard technologies include proximity (125 kHz) and high-security (13.56 MHz), so customers can set their migration path to secure credentials and security ecosystems.
- OSDP Multi-drop accommodates many readers by running one length of cable, eliminating the need to run wire for each reader.
- Powered by pdk.io, the only true cloud access solution. Take advantage of real-time updates, cloud backup, 24-hour support, and more.

Prodatakey RMB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Prodatakey Red mullion reader fit on a narrow aluminum door frame mullion?
That is what the Red Mullion Reader is built for. The housing measures 1.7 x 5.1 x 0.71 inches, so it sits on a narrow storefront mullion or door frame where a single-gang wall reader would overhang. The slim depth of 0.71 inches keeps it from interfering with the door swing on most glass front openings.
2) Can the Prodatakey Red reader be mounted outdoors at an exterior door?
Yes. The Red Mullion Reader carries an IP55 protection rating and is rated from -31 to +150 F (-35 to +66 C) with 0 to 95 percent non-condensing humidity, so it holds up at an exterior opening in most climates. IP55 covers dust and low-pressure water jets, not submersion, so avoid locations where it sits in standing water or direct heavy spray.
3) Does this Prodatakey reader work with our existing 125 kHz prox cards, or do we have to reissue credentials?
No reissue needed to get started. The Red reader reads both 125 kHz proximity and 13.56 MHz high security credentials, so existing prox badges keep working while you phase in secure cards. Read range on 125 kHz prox is up to 4 inches. The high frequency side supports MiFare DESFire EV2 encryption, which is where you land when you migrate.
4) Does the Prodatakey Red mullion reader output Wiegand or OSDP?
Both. The Red reader outputs OSDP and Wiegand protocol, so it drops onto a legacy Wiegand panel or runs OSDP when you want encrypted, supervised communication. On Wiegand, cable distance is up to 500 feet using 22AWG. OSDP multi-drop lets you chain several readers on one cable run instead of home-running wire to each reader, which is the reason most integrators pick it on new installs.
5) What power supply do I need for the Prodatakey Red mullion reader, and how much current should I budget per door?
Input is 5 to 16V DC, so a standard 12V DC access control supply works. Budget 106 mA average and 144 mA peak per reader when sizing the supply across multiple doors. Prodatakey recommends a linear power supply rather than switching, since switching supply noise can shorten read range and disrupt reader communication.
6) Is the Prodatakey Red mullion reader mobile credential ready?
Yes. The Red readers are mobile-ready, so phone-based credentials work alongside physical cards. Credential management runs through pdk.io, Prodatakey's cloud access platform, which handles real-time updates and cloud backup. Note this is a hardwired reader, so it still needs a wired run back to the controller regardless of the credential type.
7) How far can I run cable from the Prodatakey Red reader back to the controller?
On Wiegand, up to 500 feet with 22AWG cable. That covers most single-building runs, but on long runs from a remote gate or a far wing, verify voltage at the reader stays inside the 5 to 16V DC window, because voltage drop over 22AWG at distance is what usually kills a reader install rather than data loss. Running OSDP multi-drop instead lets you chain readers on a single cable and reduces the number of long home runs.
8) What is the part number for the Prodatakey Red Mullion Reader high security mobile version?
The Prodatakey Red Mullion Reader, high security mobile, is MPN AHDS30RVFD, sold under the model designation RMB in the R Series. That is the part number to quote when matching readers across a site so every opening reads the same credential set.
