The PDK Red Multi-Technology Single-Gang Reader is a high-security access control reader featuring 13.56 MHz (High-Security), 125 kHz (Prox), and BLE mobile credential technologies, with OSDP and Wiegand output protocols. Available in four configurations: High-Security only (RG), High-Security + Prox (RGP), High-Security + Mobile (RGB), and High-Security + Prox + Mobile (RGPB). MIFARE DESFire EV2 encryption provides credential security.
The Red single-gang reader supports multi-technology access, including 13.56 MHz high-security credentials, 125 kHz proximity cards for legacy compatibility, and BLE mobile credentials for smartphone-based entry using the PDK app. It uses MIFARE DESFire EV2 encryption for secure authentication, with OSDP encrypted communication and Wiegand output for legacy system support.
The device is IP55 rated for indoor or sheltered outdoor use and mounts to standard single-gang electrical boxes or wall surfaces in a compact 3.25" W × 5.1" H × 0.71" D form factor. It operates from 5–16V DC with low power consumption, supports -35°C to +66°C environments, and is available in RG, RGP, RGB, and RGPB configurations depending on credential type.
