Prodatakey Red Pedestal IO Wireless Without Reader
Red pedestal controller is the solution for access control needs in outdoor applications such as parking lots, gated communities, and storage facilities. A robust weatherproof stainless-steel housing protects the controller and provides a blank faceplate for your favorite reader. It features built-in network connectivity and self-discovery to simplify IP configuration. It is also fully equipped with controller health monitoring and OSDP functionality.
Features:
- Advanced Security: Red products lead the industry in secure communication protocols. This includes OSDP, mobile, and encrypted credential communication.
- Power Monitoring: Equipped with an on-board power supply, and a fully-supervised power circuit that monitors input, output, battery voltage, and overall controller health.
- Plug-n-play Connectivity: All PDK Red devices were designed to be plug n' play. That means they're easy to install right out of the box. It's simple to add any device no matter how large the job is.
- Self Discoverable: The Red pedestal will be automatically discovered by the cloud node when an ethernet cable is connected; it is not necessary to enter the IP address; the device is self-discoverable.
- Eliminate Trenching: Protecting access to gates and exposed areas has never been easier or more cost-effective. Because of our WiMAC wireless capabilities, the gate io eliminates the substantial expenses associated with trenching.
- System Scalability: Whether you need two doors or a thousand, the PDK Red pedestal gives you the flexibility to add more doors anytime, anywhere, on any device.

Prodatakey RPW – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the PDK Red pedestal work at a gate where there is no conduit run back to the building?
That's the case it was built for. The Red pedestal IO carries WiMAC wireless at 2.4 GHz (802.15.4) as well as ethernet, so you can put it at a gate or parking entrance and link it back without trenching. Wireless range is 1 mile line of sight, about 450 ft indoor average. Communication is AES 128-bit encrypted. If you do pull ethernet to it, the unit is self-discoverable, so a cloud node finds it without you entering an IP address.
2) Does the Prodatakey Red pedestal come with a card reader?
No reader is included. The RPW ships with a blank stainless faceplate so you mount the reader you want, and the controller has two reader inputs plus OSDP support. It also powers readers and other door hardware directly off the bus, so you're not adding a separate reader supply.
3) Can the Red pedestal controller be mounted outdoors in a parking lot or at a storage facility gate?
Yes. It's a weatherproof stainless steel enclosure built for outdoor access control at parking lots, gated communities, and storage sites. Rated operating range is -20 to +60 C (-4 to +140 F) and 0 to 95 percent relative humidity non-condensing, so it covers most North American climates without a heater cabinet.
4) What power do I need to run to the PDK Red pedestal, and does it hold up in a power outage?
A power supply is included: a 14V DC 2A transformer accepting 12V-24V AC/DC input. The controller runs on 12VDC with a 12VDC 1.2A battery-backed output, and idle draw is 35mA continuous. The battery itself is not included, so order one separately if you want the gate to ride through an outage. PDK's guidance is to use the supplied transformer; if you substitute, use a regulated supply putting out no more than 24 volts measured at the terminals.
5) How many doors or gates will one Red pedestal IO controller handle?
The onboard IO covers two openings: two form-C relays rated 2A, two reader inputs, two Input A and two Input B. That's enough for a gate operator plus a second point, or an in and out reader arrangement. Beyond that you add more Red devices to the system, which scales from two doors to a thousand.
6) How much room do I need to mount the PDK Red pedestal enclosure?
The enclosure measures 5.5 x 9.5 x 5.5 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 7.3 lbs. Plan the pedestal or post face around that footprint, and leave depth clearance behind the faceplate for the reader tails and the removable screw-down terminals.
7) Will a 2A relay on the PDK Red pedestal switch a gate operator directly?
The relays are industrial-grade form-C rated 2A, which suits a low-current dry contact input on a gate operator or an electric strike within that draw. Anything pulling more than 2A through the contact needs an interposing relay or contactor between the controller and the load. The controller can also feed readers and door hardware directly from the bus, with the included supply sized at 2A.
8) Does the Prodatakey Red pedestal support OSDP readers, or is it Wiegand only?
OSDP is supported on the Red pedestal, alongside PDK's mobile and encrypted credential communication. That matters if you're specifying secure reader-to-controller wiring rather than legacy open protocol, and it's the reason the blank faceplate version gets specified on jobs where the reader choice is driven by the credential standard.
9) Can I monitor whether a remote gate controller has lost power or gone offline?
Yes, and that's a real advantage on a gate you can't see from the office. The Red pedestal has a fully supervised power circuit that monitors input voltage, output voltage, battery voltage, and overall controller health, so a failing backup battery or a dropped supply shows up as a condition rather than as a gate that quietly stops working.
10) What is the part number for the PDK Red pedestal wireless without reader?
The wireless pedestal without reader is the RPW model, MPN AHDS30RVFD, part of Prodatakey's R Series. It's the version with no reader installed, so the faceplate is blank for your own reader choice.
