How to install HID MiniProx 5365
Installing the HID MiniProx 5365 is straightforward for technicians familiar with access control hardware. Follow these practical steps to achieve a reliable installation that maximizes security and reliability:
- Plan placement: Choose a secure, accessible location on the mullion that allows for convenient card presentation while minimizing exposure to direct moisture, heavy dust, or potential impact. Confirm there is a power source within the 5–16 V DC range and identify the appropriate controller interface (Wiegand or Clock-and-Data) for your system.
- Mount the reader: Use the supplied mounting hardware to attach the reader to the mullion. Ensure the reader sits flush against the surface and that the faceplate is oriented for easy card presentation by users. Tighten screws securely without over-tightening to avoid warping the housing.
- Connect power: Wire the reader to a 5–16 V DC power supply. Verify polarity where applicable and route power conductors away from high-traffic areas to protect against wear and accidental disconnection.
- Connect data lines: Run the selected interface cables to the access controller. If using Wiegand, connect the three primary lines (data0, data1, and common ground) as specified by the controller’s documentation. If using Clock-and-Data, follow the controller's clock and data connection guidelines. Ensure tight, secure connections to minimize signal integrity issues.
- Test and configure: Power the system and verify that the reader reports correctly to the controller. Use valid credentials to confirm successful reads, and observe LED indicators and controller responses. If available, enable any required anti-passback or access rules in the controller and perform a functional test with multiple credential types to ensure compatibility.
- Final checks: Confirm there are no loose cables or exposed conductors. Clean any debris around the mount, and confirm that the reader remains stable under typical environmental conditions. Document the installation for future maintenance and compliance records.
