AAS / Security Brand 23-006 RemotePro CR, HID ProxPoint Plus reader
This Security Brands / American Access Systems RemotePro CR reader is a post-mounted Wiegand proximity reader built for access-control sites that already use a master controller. It gives a gate, door, or pedestrian entry point a dedicated HID ProxPoint Plus reader in a rugged post-mount station, so users can present an approved HID-style card or fob without needing a separate keypad code. In the field, this type of reader is commonly used when an Ascent, Edge, telephone entry, or third-party access controller handles the decision-making and the reader simply sends credential data back to that controller. Correct fitment depends on the credential technology, Wiegand format, controller wiring, and mounting style. It should be selected by the reader model and site credential format, not just by the outside housing.
For access-control work, the most common ordering mistake is assuming that every reader or credential with a similar housing will work with the existing site. The controller may need a specific Wiegand format, the reader may support one credential family but not another, and credentials may need the correct facility code, bit format, and number range. Use the full Security Brands model number and the installed system type when comparing this item to an older reader, card, fob, or tag.

Technician Note
When replacing a reader, take a photo of the old model label and wiring before removal. When ordering credentials, confirm the facility code, bit format, start number, reader family, and controller enrollment method. A credential can be the right physical style and still fail if the encoding does not match the site database.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Verify the full Security Brands / AAS model number.
- Confirm the credential family: HID, Secura Key, SecurePass, UHF vehicle tag, or another format.
- Confirm the controller accepts the required Wiegand format.
- For reader replacements, compare post mount, surface mount, keypad, and intercom requirements.
- For cards, fobs, and vehicle tags, confirm package quantity, facility code, and number range before ordering.
Professional Advisory
Access-control wiring, mag locks, electric strikes, and gate operator inputs should be installed in a code-compliant way. Disconnect power before wiring readers or controllers, and use a qualified access-control or gate technician when the system controls a vehicle gate, door lock, fire access function, or monitored safety device.
Important Ordering Warning
This is the HID ProxPoint Plus reader family. It should not be confused with the Secura Key or SecurePass reader versions, even when the RemotePro housing looks similar.
Product Q&A
Is this reader for HID credentials?
Yes. This model is written for the HID ProxPoint Plus reader family and should be used with the matching HID-style credential system and Wiegand controller.
Will this work as a stand-alone gate opener receiver?
No. This is a Wiegand reader that sends data to an access controller. The controller handles user approval and relay output to the gate or door system.
What controllers is it commonly used with?
It is commonly used with select Security Brands Ascent systems, Edge systems, and other access controllers that accept the proper 26-bit Wiegand reader input.
What should be checked before replacing an older reader?
Check the full model number, reader technology, wiring, Wiegand format, mounting style, and the credentials already issued to users.
Is the surface version the same as the post-mount version?
No. The reader technology may be related, but the mounting style and housing are different. Match the installed location and model number.
