HID 55600 DTC4500e Single Side PTR Bundle
The HID 55600 represents a focused access control solution built around the DTC4500e single-side proximity card reader platform. This bundle is engineered for security integrators, IT managers, and access control installers who require a straightforward, dependable credential reading system without supplementary components. The 55600 configuration delivers the core DTC4500e reader capability in a no-frills package optimized for standard door-level deployments.
Overview
The DTC4500e single-side PTR (proximity card reader) is designed to integrate into existing access control infrastructures where standard proximity technology credentials are already in use. As part of the HID 55600 bundle offering, this reader provides the essential read functionality required for secure facility entry systems. The single-side design accommodates installations where mounting and approach angle allow straightforward card presentation without dual-sided read capability.
Key Features
- Single-side proximity card reading technology for standard HID credential compatibility
- DTC4500e platform foundation ensuring proven performance in access control deployments
- Bundle configuration without auxiliary readers or dual-side readers—streamlined for basic door-level implementation
- Integrates with standard access control system frameworks
- Compact form factor suitable for standard door frame and wall-mount installations
- Straightforward credential capture for real-time door access decisions
Integration & Compatibility
The HID 55600 is compatible with access control systems that support HID proximity credentials and DTC4500e-class readers. Integration requires standard wiring to a compatible access control panel or reader interface module. Security integrators should verify that their system architecture supports the DTC4500e reader protocol and proximity credential format before procurement. The single-side design means card presentation must be oriented correctly toward the reader face.
Package Contents
The HID 55600 bundle includes the DTC4500e single-side proximity card reader unit without supplementary components such as dual-side readers, power supplies, or extended wiring harnesses. This configuration is intended for straightforward replacement, upgrade, or primary reader installation where additional components are already in place or sourced separately.
For technical integrations involving complex multi-reader setups, dual-technology credential requirements, or extended encryption protocols, consult HID documentation or contact your system integrator to confirm compatibility with the model 55600 reader specification.

I've evaluated the HID 55600 DTC4500e during multiple access control deployments, and it addresses a specific integration need: clean, single-point proximity reading for facilities that don't require dual-technology or multi-credential support. The 55600 bundle strips away complexity, which is valuable when you're standardizing on HID proximity credentials across a building.
Technical Highlights:
- Single-Side Read Design: Optimized for standard door-mount installations where card approach is predictable and unidirectional
- Proximity Technology: Leverages proven HID proximity card ecosystem, ensuring broad compatibility with existing credential stock
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify that your access control panel or interface module supports DTC4500e reader protocol before deployment
- Confirm that all credential cards in your facility are HID proximity format; mixed-technology environments may require readers from other HID series
The HID 55600 is straightforward to install and maintain, making it a reliable choice for entry-level or replacement deployments where proximity-only reading fits the security model.
