Linear ProxPro II-BK Wiegand 125 kHz HID Proximity Reader Black
The ProxPro II-BK is a medium-range HID-compatible proximity reader with Wiegand output. Compared with smaller mullion readers, the ProxPro II body is commonly selected when the installation benefits from a larger reader face and better presentation distance. It is still a reader only, meaning it must be connected to a compatible controller that makes the access decision and operates the gate, strike, maglock, or relay.
This reader is often used on gate pedestals, building entries, and commercial access-control points where reliable card presentation is important. It is commonly associated with Linear eMerge and Max 3 systems, but it can also be used with compatible Wiegand access-control panels that support the credential format.

For vehicle gate installations, mount the reader where drivers can present credentials safely without pulling too far forward or blocking the gate swing or slide path.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm Wiegand input compatibility at the controller.
- Verify HID 125 kHz credential format compatibility.
- Check available mounting space for the larger ProxPro II body.
- Confirm color and order number before replacement.
- Check cable type, reader voltage, and shield grounding practices.
Important Ordering Warnings
ProxPro II readers, MiniProx readers, and ProxPoint readers are similar in function but not the same physical size or mounting style.
Professional Advisory
Access-control reader replacement should be tested with the actual cards or fobs used on site. Secure door and gate hardware should be serviced by a qualified technician when lock or relay wiring is involved.
Product Q&A
What is the difference between ProxPro II and MiniProx?
ProxPro II is a larger medium-range reader, while MiniProx is a narrower mullion-style reader.
What is the common order number for ProxPro II-BK?
The common Linear order number is 0-298069.
Can it read HID 125 kHz credentials?
Yes, when the cards or fobs and the access controller use a compatible HID 125 kHz format.
Does this reader unlock a door by itself?
No. It sends Wiegand data to a controller, and the controller operates the lock, relay, or gate input.
Can it be used at a vehicle gate?
Yes, it is commonly used at gate access stations when mounted and wired correctly with a compatible controller.
