Prodatakey Red Single-Gang 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 RGB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Prodatakey Red reader work with 125 kHz prox cards we already issue, or do we have to reissue credentials?
It reads both, so existing 125 kHz proximity cards keep working while you phase in 13.56 MHz high-security credentials. That dual-frequency read is the point of the Red line: you can run a mixed population during a migration instead of reissuing the whole building on day one. Prox read range is up to 4 inches.
2) Can I wire the Red reader to a non-Prodatakey access panel?
Yes. Output is OSDP and Wiegand protocol, so it will land on any panel that takes either. Wiegand runs up to 500 feet on 22 AWG. OSDP gives you multi-drop, meaning several readers share one cable run instead of a home run per reader, plus encrypted reader-to-panel communication. Full cloud management features come from pdk.io, so a third-party head end gets the reader but not that software side.
3) What power supply do I need for a Prodatakey Red reader, and how many can I put on one supply?
Input is 5 to 16V DC, with a linear supply recommended over a switching one to keep RF noise off the read field. Budget 118 mA average and 169 mA peak per reader. On a 12V DC supply that works out to roughly six readers per amp of capacity at peak draw, before you account for locks and any other load on the same supply.
4) Can the Prodatakey Red reader be mounted outdoors on an exterior door?
It is rated IP55 and operates from -31 to +150 F (-35 to +66 C) at 0 to 95 percent non-condensing humidity, so exterior gates, loading docks, and unconditioned garages are within spec. IP55 is dust protected and rated for low-pressure water jets, not immersion, so avoid locations that get pressure washed directly or sit in standing water.
5) How secure are the credentials on this reader, and does it stop card cloning?
High-security credentials use MiFare DESFire EV2 encryption at 13.56 MHz, which is the part that resists the cloning that plain 125 kHz prox is vulnerable to. Wiring back to the panel can run OSDP, which encrypts the reader-to-controller link as well, so both ends of the transaction are protected. If you leave it on 125 kHz prox for a legacy card base, you keep the convenience but not the encryption.
6) Does the Prodatakey Red reader support phone-based credentials, or just cards?
Mobile credentials are supported, which is what the "+ Mobile" designation covers, alongside 125 kHz prox cards and 13.56 MHz high-security cards. Mobile credential issuing and revoking is handled through pdk.io, so tenant turnover at a multi-family or office property gets managed from the cloud instead of collecting fobs back at the door.
7) What is the exact part number for the Prodatakey Red single-gang high security mobile reader?
Order it as Prodatakey AHDS30RVFD, the R Series Red single-gang reader with high-security and mobile support. It is a hardwired reader, not a wireless one, so it needs a cable run back to the controller.
8) Do I still have to run a separate cable to every reader on a Prodatakey Red job?
Not on OSDP. Multi-drop lets you daisy-chain multiple readers down one length of cable, which is the difference between one run and eight in a corridor of doors. If you wire it Wiegand instead, you are back to a home run per reader, limited to 500 feet on 22 AWG.
