HID Multi-Technology Wall-Mount Reader (iClass + Prox, Programmed)
This HID multi-technology wall-mount reader supports both 125 kHz Prox and 13.56 MHz iClass credentials in a single reader body. Multi-technology readers are essential during credential migrations and in environments with mixed credential populations — contractors with Prox, employees with iClass, executives with mobile — all read through one reader.

Multi-technology readers are the right answer when the site supports a mixed credential population. Rather than installing two readers per door (one for Prox, one for iClass), a single multi-technology reader reads both. This is the standard configuration during a credential migration window and remains useful in any environment that has contractors, visitors, or specialty users on different credential technology than the main employee population.
Configure the reader for the credential mix the site actually uses. Confirm reader-to-panel cable length is within Wiegand specifications. Train installers on the programming workflow — multi-technology readers ship with a default configuration that may need adjustment for the site. Isolate the reader chassis ground from the door frame to avoid ground loops on long runs. Test reads with each credential technology the site uses before final commissioning.
