Part No. 5375-901, Rev E.1 MaxiProx® Installation Guide
1 System Overview
MaxiProx® is a self-contained proximity reader. The two-piece polycarbonate enclosure has an O-ring
that weather seals the enclosure pieces together and a cable fitting that seals the cable entry. The
water-resistant unit is designed for outdoor use. The enclosure is mountable on a single gang
electrical box. A bi-color LED an d audi ble tone provide user feedback. Configurable open collector data
outputs provide the data to the Host. Configurable DIP Switches and jumpers provide choice of data
interfaces between Wiegand, Clock-and-Data, RS 232 and RS422. The data interface is configured as
ordered from the factory, but can be changed in the field - please contact HID Technical Support for
assistance. A tamper switch can alert the Host when the enclosure is opened. Internal DIP Switches
and jumpers provide for configuration of the outputs, audible tone and LED control options. Installation
of the MaxiProx reader consists of mounting, connecting the cable to the Host and +12VDC or
+24VDC power, ve ri fy ing the DI P Switch and jumper settings, verifying Auto-tune, and verifying the
reading of a transponder.
1.1 Operation
Transponders (Proximity Cards or ProxKeys) are presented to the front of the MaxiProx. The LED is
red when ready to read a transponder. The LED turns green and the beeper sounds when the
transponder is read and the message is transmitted to the Host computer or interface panel. The
system is ready for another transponder as soon as the LED returns to red. There is an anti-passback
delay of about one and a half seconds before it will read the same card. The LED flash is typically 250
milliseconds long. The operation of the LED and beeper may be controlled by the Host, in which case
the actual operation will depend on the programmed timing of the Host.

2 Installation Procedure
2.1 Preparation
Determine an appropriate mounting position for the MaxiProx. Install an electrical box or drill the
appropriate mounting holes from inside the base with the cover removed for #6 fasteners. For optimum
performance, the reader should be mounted at least 4 inches away from any metallic surface 12-inch x
12-inch or larger. The Auto-tune feature au tomatically compensates for incidental metal such as
aluminum studs and conduit. The best method for installing the MaxiProx is by mounting the back of
the reader to the mounting surface. Accomplish side mounting with an adapter or spacer (customer
supplied) that mounts to the back of the reader.
CAUTION: The P2 shunt jumper is factory installed in the 24VDC position. Failure to install the
P2 shunt jumper in the correct position will permanently damage the MaxiProx unit. The
following states the P2 shunt jumper installation.
Power Supply Voltage Jumper Position
+24 VDC (21-28.5VDC) P2 across pin 2 and 3
+12 VDC (11.6-20.9VDC) P2 across pin 1 and 2
2.2 Mounting and Installation
•When fastening the MaxiProx to the mounting surface, do not use a metallic fastener larger than a
#6 screw.
•Avoid mounting the MaxiProx closer than 1 meter (40-inches) to another MaxiProx.
2.3 Mounting Applications
•Mount the MaxiProx to a gooseneck that is 1½-inch in diameter with a 4-inch diameter-mounting
flange without degradation of read range. Mount the flange to a non-metallic adapter that will ease
the installation of the MaxiProx to the flange. The read range will not be affected.
•The MaxiProx may be mounted to a 12-inch x 12-inch or larger metal plate with a 4-inch spacer
used to separate the reader from the plate.
•A crylic, Plexiglas, Lexan (polycarbonate) or other suitable plastics may be found in ½-inch to 1-
inch stock. Mounting adapters may be fabricated from these materials that would be sturdy and not
affect the performance of the MaxiProx. Plastic J-boxes can also be used.
2.4 Cable Preparation
Prepare the cable by cutting the cable jacket back 2 inches and strip the wires 1/4-inch. Tinning the
wires is not required.

2.5Install Cable
Route the interface cable from the MaxiProx to the Host. Connect the MaxiProx DC power input to the
Host or external power supply. Either +12VDC or +24VDC can be used.
CAUTION: The P2 shunt jumper is factory installed in the 24VDC position. Failure to install the
P2 shunt jumper in the correct position will permanently damage the MaxiProx unit. The
following states the P2 shunt jumper installation.
Power Supply Voltage Jumper Position
+24 VDC (21-28.5VDC) P2 across pin 2 and 3
+12 VDC (11.6-20.9VDC) P2 across pin 1 and 2
Notes
•For Wiegand interface cable the maximum length is 500 feet (150m), 50 feet (15m) for RS232, and
4000 feet (1200m) for RS422.
•When using 5 conductor cable, the power supply and Host must have a common ground (voltage
reference).
•7-Conductor cable is required when using the Hold function or if the ground for the MaxiProx power
supply is not common with the ground of the Host. TB2 terminal 3, Data Return, is to be connected
to the ground of the Host. (Alpha 1296 C or equivalent).
•7-Conductor cable is required when the Hold function is used, and the power supply and Host
"ground" are separate. (Alpha 1297 C or equivalent).
•A 22 AWG twisted pair, shielded, stranded cable (Belden 9330 or equivalent) is often required for
the tamper switch. Follow the recommendations of the manufacturer of the Host system. If the
tamper input is a supervised input, the "end-of-line" resistor may be mounted in the enclosure
between TB1-4 and TB1-5.
•The inner diameter of the cable fitting will accommodate a cable with an outer diameter of up to
.260-inches.
2.6 Cable Connections
Install the cable fitting on the rear of the MaxiProx. Feed the cable through the cable fitting. Connect
the wires to the terminal strip with the minimum length necessary. Do not leave extra loops of wire
inside the reader housing. Connect the reader to the Host according to the terminal descriptions in the
dimension diagram. Tighten the fitting to secure the cable. Connect the drain line of the shield to
terminal TB1 Pin 2 (Power Supply Shield). If it is bare, cover it with heat shrink or tape to avoid short
circuits to the other wires. Connect the opposite end of the drain line to the negative terminal and the
frame connection of the power supply.
CAUTION: The P2 shunt jumper is factory installed in the 24VDC position. Failure to install the
P2 shunt jumper in the correct position will permanently damage the MaxiProx unit. The
following states the P2 shunt jumper installation.
+24 VDC (21-28.5VDC) P2 across pin 2 and 3
+12 VDC (11.6-20.9VDC) P2 across pin 1 and 2
