The HID MaxiProx Long Range Reader (5375AGN00) is a 125 kHz access control reader from HID for parking control and other long read range jobs. It reads an HID ProxCard II card from up to 60.9 cm away - far enough for a driver to present a card from the car window - and HID's ProxPass active vehicle tag at up to 1.8 m.
It is a reader, not a gate controller. It must be wired to an access control panel and fed from a 12 or 24 V DC supply - the panel decides who gets in and signals the gate or door. See the reader-only note below.
The MaxiProx reads the same HID Proximity cards, fobs and tags as HID's 125 kHz door readers, so one card can work at the gate and at the door. It does not read 13.56 MHz smart cards such as Seos, iCLASS or MIFARE unless the card also carries HID Prox. The 300 mm square housing is sealed and IP55 rated for indoor or outdoor mounting, and it connects through a terminal strip, with Wiegand, Clock-and-Data, RS-232 and RS-422 interfaces to choose from.
Usually ships same day if ordered before 11am AEST (excludes weekends and Queensland public holidays).
The MaxiProx holds no users and does not decide who gets in. It passes each card's number to an access control panel, and the panel signals the boom gate, sliding gate, roller door or door lock. You also need a 12 or 24 V DC power supply and the cable run back to the panel - neither is in the box. Not sure what your gate needs? Ask for a locksmith recommendation or book a site survey.
Access Methods
The MaxiProx reads HID's 125 kHz proximity credentials at long range - cards, key fobs, adhesive tags and HID's ProxPass vehicle tag. It has no keypad. A 13.56 MHz smart card is not read unless it also carries HID Prox. The Credential Compatibility table below lists typical maximum read ranges and the credentials we stock for it.
Credential Compatibility and Read Range
Read range depends on the credential as much as the reader. These are HID's typical maximum figures for the MaxiProx, and they vary with installation conditions.
A proximity credential only opens a door once its card format, facility code and card number match what your access control panel expects. Tell us what your site uses before you order cards, fobs or tags, or send us a photo of an existing card and any numbers printed on it. HID Proximity readers are made for HID Proximity credentials: an Indala format credential needs an Indala compatible reader, and HID points EM cards to other readers - see page 44 of HID's ordering guide (PDF). HID's card, tag and vehicle tag figures for the MaxiProx are on page 2 of the MaxiProx datasheet (PDF); the key fob figure is from the ProxKey III datasheet.
Parking Lanes and Long Range Use
HID makes the MaxiProx for parking control and other long read range jobs, and several of its features are there for vehicle lanes.
- Read range depends on installation conditions. Test with the cards and the vehicles that will use the lane before the reader position is final.
- A fob or tag reads at a shorter distance than a ProxCard II or ISOProx II card - up to 28 cm for a ProxKey III fob and 38 cm for a MicroProx tag.
- The MaxiProx reports the card's number to the panel. The panel, or the gate controller it drives, opens the gate.
Key Features
- Long read range - up to 60.9 cm with a ProxCard II card, and up to 1.8 m with HID's ProxPass active vehicle tag. See Credential Compatibility.
- Made for parking control - a parking hold input takes a loop detector, and two readers can work one metre apart for truck and car lanes. See Parking Lanes and Long Range Use.
- Autotune - allows read range to be maintained within four inches (about 10 cm) of metal. HID still advises a non-metallic mounting surface for the best range.
- HID 125 kHz proximity - works with all HID Proximity cards and tags with formats up to 85 bits.
- Four panel interfaces - Wiegand, Clock-and-Data, RS-232 and RS-422. The serial interfaces run at 1200, 2400, 4800 or 9600 baud.
- 12 or 24 V DC - the supply voltage is configurable.
- Beeper and multicolour LED - the red LED flashes green and the beeper sounds on a read, and the panel can drive both.
- Tamper switch - gives the panel electronic notice if the reader is tampered with.
- Sealed, weatherised housing - rugged polycarbonate, IP55 rated, with a high degree of vandal resistance.
- Self-test at power-up, plus a loop-back test for checking the reader's inputs and outputs without extra test equipment.
- Reader supervision signal for CASI-RUSCO panels.
- C-tick for Australia and New Zealand, and covered by HID's lifetime reader warranty.
What's in the Box
- 1 x HID MaxiProx reader (5375AGN00) in Charcoal Grey
The access control panel, the DC power supply, cable and conduit, cards, fobs, tags and vehicle tags are not included. Check what fixings your wall or post needs before you install the reader.
Suitable Uses
- Car park and site entries on a panel-based access control system, where drivers present a card from the vehicle.
- Boom gates, sliding gates and roller doors signalled by the access control panel.
- Lanes with a loop detector - the parking hold input is made for one.
- Sites with both cars and trucks - two readers can be set one metre apart, high and low.
- Sites that already use HID 125 kHz proximity cards at their doors - the same cards work at the gate.
- Outdoor positions - the sealed housing is IP55 rated and works from -30 to +65 deg C.
Opening a gate by itself - the MaxiProx is a reader, and the panel signals the gate. Sites on 13.56 MHz smart cards such as Seos, iCLASS or MIFARE - the MaxiProx will not read them unless they also carry HID Prox; see the rest of the HID range. Indala or EM format 125 kHz cards and fobs - HID lists other readers for those; the MaxiProx is made for HID Proximity credentials. Panels that need an RS-485 reader connection - the MaxiProx's serial interfaces are RS-232 and RS-422, not RS-485. Ordinary doors where a small reader is wanted - it is 300 mm square; for a door see the ProxPoint Plus, MiniProx or ThinLine II. A pedestrian gate that needs a lock rather than a reader - see our outdoor gate lock range.

Finish selection does not affect functionality, compliance, or performance. HID makes the MaxiProx in Charcoal Grey only.
HID Proximity Reader Range
The MaxiProx is the long range reader in HID's 125 kHz proximity family. The other three readers we list are for doors, and all four read the same HID Proximity cards, fobs and tags.
This product is the bold row. Card read range is HID's typical maximum with a ProxCard II card. A site can use both kinds - a MaxiProx at the gate and the smaller readers at the doors, on the same cards. Browse the rest of the HID range.
Accessories and Credentials
HID lists a replacement cover, a rubber gasket and two accessory kits for the MaxiProx. We do not stock them - contact us with the part number for price and availability. HID lists one kit for the MaxiProx's old wiring diagram and one for the new; tell us about your reader and we will check which applies.
Cards, fobs and tags we stock for it
A proximity credential has to carry the card format, facility code and number range your panel expects, so tell us what your site uses before you order - browse all RFID fobs, tags and cards, or contact us with your existing card details and we will check what your site needs. HID's ProxPass active vehicle tag is not listed - contact us. The cover, gasket and kit part numbers are on page 33 of HID's ordering guide (PDF).
Power, Wiring and Panel Connection
The MaxiProx runs from 12 or 24 V DC and wires to the panel through a terminal strip. It offers four interfaces - Wiegand, Clock-and-Data, RS-232 and RS-422 - and HID's ordering guide notes that its configuration settings are selected with internal DIP switches.
- Size the supply on the peak - 700 mA at 12 V DC or 1.2 A at 24 V DC for each reader.
- Take terminal numbering from the wiring diagram for your reader - HID's ordering guide lists accessory kits for an old and a new MaxiProx wiring diagram. If you do not have the diagram for your unit, contact us before you wire it.
- Check every connection against the wiring diagram before powering up.
- Check which interface your panel's reader port needs before you set the reader up. RS-485 is not one of the MaxiProx's interfaces.
- At power-up the reader runs a self-test, and an external loop-back test lets you check its outputs and inputs without extra test equipment.
Full Specifications
Dimensions
HID's drawing gives 299.7 x 299.7 x 25.4 mm (11.8 x 11.8 x 1.0 inches). The outline drawing is on page 1 of the MaxiProx datasheet (PDF).
Installation and Setup
- Plan the position - where drivers can reach it, on a non-metallic surface where possible, with a cable path back to the panel. See Parking Lanes and Long Range Use.
- Set the reader up - set it for your supply voltage and panel interface before you wire it. HID's ordering guide says configuration settings are selected with DIP switches inside the reader; take the settings from HID's instructions for your unit.
- Wire it - connect the panel cable to the terminal strip, with the loop detector on the parking hold input if the lane has one.
- Power up and test before the final fixing. The reader runs a self-test. Present a card: the red LED flashes green and the beeper sounds. Test with the cards and vehicles that will use the lane, at the distances they will present from.
- Fix the reader to its mounting surface and seal the cable entry.
- HID advises a non-metallic mounting surface for the best read range. Where metal is close by, autotune allows read range to be maintained within four inches (about 10 cm) of it.
- For a lane that takes trucks and cars, two MaxiProx readers can work one metre apart.
- A loop detector on the parking hold input gives accurate detection of vehicles in the lane.
- The housing is sealed and IP55 rated. Outdoors, seal the cable entry as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. It reads the card and passes its number to an access control panel, which makes the decision and signals the gate. You need a panel, a 12 or 24 V DC supply and the cable run from the reader to the panel.
Up to 60.9 cm with a ProxCard II card, 50.8 cm with an ISOProx II card, 38 cm with a MicroProx tag and 28 cm with a ProxKey III fob. HID's ProxPass active vehicle tag reads at up to 1.8 m. These are HID's typical maximum figures and they vary with installation conditions.
Yes, with care. HID advises a non-metallic mounting surface for the best read range; where metal is close, the reader's autotune feature allows read range to be maintained within four inches (about 10 cm) of it.
Yes. Its parking hold input is made for connection to a loop detector, so that vehicles in a parking lane are detected accurately.
No. The MaxiProx's interfaces are Wiegand, Clock-and-Data, RS-232 and RS-422. Tell us your panel make and model and we will check the connection before you order.
Additional Information
- Check your cards before you order. The MaxiProx reads HID 125 kHz proximity credentials and will not read a 13.56 MHz smart card unless it also carries HID Prox. If you are not sure what your cards are, send us a photo of the card and any numbers printed on it.
- Card format matters. A new card, fob or tag only works once its format, facility code and number range match what your panel expects. Have those details ready when you order credentials.
- Size the power supply on the peak. The MaxiProx averages 200 mA at 12 V DC but peaks at 700 mA; at 24 V DC the figures are 260 mA and 1.2 A.
- Entry without presenting a card needs an active tag. Cards are read at up to 60.9 cm, MicroProx tags at up to 38 cm and ProxKey III fobs at up to 28 cm. For reads at up to 1.8 m HID makes the ProxPass active vehicle tag - listed in its ordering guide as the ProxPass II, a battery powered tag that takes formats up to 37 bits. HID's catalogue gives it a one-year warranty. We do not list it - contact us.
- Planning a move to smart cards? 125 kHz proximity is HID's long-established card technology. HID's current readers take secure 13.56 MHz credentials, and some read 125 kHz as well, which lets a site change its readers first and its cards later. Browse the HID range or ask for a locksmith recommendation.
Warranty
HID readers and credentials bought new through authorised channels are covered by HID Global's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship: lifetime cover on HID Signo, iCLASS SE and HID Proximity readers and on HID-branded Seos, iCLASS, Proximity, MIFARE DESFire and UHF cards, fobs and tags, and 2 years on iCLASS SE reader accessories. Proof of purchase required for all claims.

HID MaxiProx Long Range Reader - FAQ, Setup and Owner's Guide
Everything below is here to help you choose, plan, wire and live with the HID MaxiProx reader. For general questions see our Smart Lock FAQ (Chapter 13), and for the bigger picture start with the Buyer's Guide.
Choosing the Right Reader
It is a long range 125 kHz proximity reader for parking control and other long read range jobs. It reads HID Proximity cards, fobs and tags and passes their numbers to an access control panel. It is 300 mm square and 25 mm deep, runs on 12 or 24 V DC and is IP55 rated.
No. It holds no users and does not decide who gets in - it is one part of a wired access control system. The panel holds the access rights and signals the gate.
Parking control and long read range applications. A driver can present a card from the vehicle, and with HID's ProxPass active vehicle tag the read distance rises to as much as 1.8 m.
Range and size. The ProxPoint Plus, MiniProx and ThinLine II have typical maximum read ranges of 7.6 to 14 cm with a ProxCard II card and are sized for a door frame or an electrical box. The MaxiProx reads the same card at up to 60.9 cm and is 300 mm square.
Yes - it reads the same credentials as the door readers - but it is a large reader made for long range. For most doors the ProxPoint Plus, MiniProx or ThinLine II is the better fit.
No. The MaxiProx is a card and tag reader. For a keypad see our keypads range.
Read Range and Parking Lanes
HID's typical maximum figures are 60.9 cm for a ProxCard II card, 50.8 cm for an ISOProx II card, 38 cm for a MicroProx tag and 28 cm for a ProxKey III fob. They vary with installation conditions.
An active, battery powered HID tag for vehicles, listed in HID's ordering guide as the ProxPass II. The MaxiProx reads it at up to 1.8 m, which allows entry without the driver presenting a card. The ProxPass II takes formats up to 37 bits, and HID's catalogue gives the ProxPass II a one-year warranty. We do not list the tag - contact us.
It lets you connect a loop detector, so that vehicles in a parking lane are detected accurately.
Yes. Two MaxiProx readers can work one metre apart - one high, one low - for lanes that take both.
Yes, it can. HID advises mounting on a non-metallic surface for the best read range. The reader's autotune feature allows read range to be maintained within four inches (about 10 cm) of metal.
With the credentials and the vehicles that will use the lane, before the reader position is final. Read range depends on installation conditions, and a fob or tag reads at a shorter distance than a ProxCard II or ISOProx II card.
Cards, Tags and Compatibility
All HID Proximity cards and tags with formats up to 85 bits. From our range that means the ProxCard II and ISOProx II cards on our HID 125 kHz proximity card listing, the HID ProxKey III key fob and the HID MicroProx adhesive tag.
Yes, if they are HID 125 kHz proximity cards - the MaxiProx reads the same credentials as HID's 125 kHz door readers. The panel still has to know the card.
No. Those are 13.56 MHz smart cards, and a 125 kHz reader will not see them unless the card also carries HID Prox. Some of HID's current readers take both technologies - browse the HID range.
It is made for HID Proximity credentials. HID's ordering guide points Indala format credentials to an Indala compatible reader and EM cards to other readers (page 44 of HID's ordering guide (PDF)), so check with us before you buy if that is what your site uses.
It is the way the number on a credential is laid out. HID's open 26-bit format, H10301, carries a facility code up to 255 and a card number up to 65,535; HID's other common formats include 35, 37 and 48-bit layouts. New credentials have to be ordered in the format your panel is set up for. HID explains formats on page 43 of its ordering guide (PDF).
It is the longest card number layout the reader can take. The reader recognises formats up to 85 bits, which covers HID's common 26-bit format and its longer ones.
No. It has no Bluetooth or NFC. For phone credentials see the rest of the HID range.
Power and Wiring
12 V DC or 24 V DC - the supply voltage is configurable. At 12 V DC it averages 200 mA and peaks at 700 mA; at 24 V DC it averages 260 mA and peaks at 1.2 A.
Wiegand, Clock-and-Data, RS-232 and RS-422. The serial interfaces support 1200, 2400, 4800 and 9600 baud.
No. Its serial interfaces are RS-232 and RS-422. If your panel needs an RS-485 reader connection, contact us before you order.
Yes, if the panel takes Wiegand, Clock-and-Data, RS-232 or RS-422 readers. Tell us the panel make and model and we will check it before you order.
HID gives up to 152 m for Wiegand, 15 m for Clock-and-Data, 15 to 61 m for RS-232 and 1,219 m for RS-422.
Through a terminal strip. Take terminal numbering from the wiring diagram for your reader - HID's ordering guide lists kits for an old and a new MaxiProx wiring diagram. If you do not have the diagram for your unit, contact us before you wire it.
Yes. A tamper switch gives the panel electronic notice of reader tampering.
Installation and Setup
A non-metallic surface gives the best read range. Position it where drivers can reach it with a card, and test before you fix the final position.
HID's ordering guide says the MaxiProx's configuration settings are selected with DIP switches inside the reader. As supplied the LED rests red and flashes green on a read.
The reader runs an internal self-test that checks its configuration and whether the LED and beeper are under its own control or the panel's, then starts reading. A separate loop-back test lets an installer check the reader's outputs and inputs without extra test equipment.
The beep and green flash show the reader has read the credential. Usually the panel has not accepted it - check that the card is enrolled at the panel and that its format and facility code are the ones the panel expects. If those are right, have the data wiring between the reader and the panel checked.
A security installer. A long range reader at a vehicle gate has to be matched to the panel and the gate controller - see our advice and installation page and installation across the Gold Coast.
Weather and Durability
Yes. The MaxiProx is sealed in a weatherised polycarbonate enclosure rated IP55, for indoor and outdoor use. See our guide to IP ratings.
-30 to +65 deg C, at up to 95 percent relative humidity, non-condensing. Long exposure to direct sun is hard on any electronic device - see how sunlight and heat affect lifespan.
It is a rugged polycarbonate enclosure that HID designs to withstand harsh environments and to give a high degree of vandal resistance.
Ordering, Compliance and Warranty
5375 is the MaxiProx, A is the revision, G is Charcoal Grey, N means no hardware option and 00 is the LED configuration - normally red, flashing green on a read. HID sets this out on page 30 of its ordering guide (PDF).
HID's datasheet lists C-tick for Australia and New Zealand among the MaxiProx's certifications, with UL294 / cUL, FCC, IC and CE. The full list is under Full Specifications.
HID's lifetime warranty for HID Proximity readers, against defects in materials and workmanship. Details are under Warranty.
The MaxiProx usually ships same day if ordered before 11am AEST, excluding weekends and Queensland public holidays.
Yes. Terry's offers site surveys and installation on the Gold Coast. Start with a site survey or our advice and installation page.

HID Warranty
HID branded readers, credentials and accessories are covered by warranties issued by HID Global Corporation and its affiliated entities (part of ASSA ABLOY), distributed in Australia by LSC. Most HID readers and HID-branded credentials carry lifetime cover; a small number of specific models and accessories carry a fixed term instead.
The summary below sets out HID's published warranty structure. All warranty claims are handled by Terry's Tradies Pty Ltd and its associated websites, trading names, and subsidiaries. Full terms and exclusions are set out in the official HID Global Warranty Policy linked at the base of this page.
Warranty Summary
Understanding "Lifetime" Cover
HID's published policy uses the term "Lifetime Warranty Period" without defining it further - it is not stated as a fixed number of years, "for the life of the product", or "as long as you own it". It applies for as long as HID continues to honour that stated period under its published policy.
How to Make a Claim
- Contact Terry's Tradies Pty Ltd and its associated websites, trading names, and subsidiaries with your proof of original purchase and a description of the fault.
- Where a claim needs to be escalated, HID requires written notice from the end customer within the applicable warranty period - we handle this notification on your behalf.
- HID's remedy, at its own option, is to repair the product, replace it, or issue a credit towards a future purchase.
- Postage, insurance and shipping costs to present hardware for warranty assessment are the end customer's responsibility under HID's policy - we'll advise what's needed before anything is sent.
Exclusions
This warranty does not cover, and will be voided by, any of the following:
- Installation by anyone other than HID or an HID-authorised installer
- Use other than as authorised in HID's own documentation
- Modification, alteration or repair by a party other than HID
- Combination with hardware, operating systems or tools not provided by HID
- Accident, neglect, misuse or negligence
- Upgrades, evaluation units and demonstration units
- Consumables - batteries, paper, pads, cleaning solution, towels, cartridges and cables
Important Notes
This manufacturer warranty applies in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the ACL. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. Where a failure does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced.
HID's published policy states the warranty is solely for the benefit of the original end customer. Products purchased through Terry's Tradies Pty Ltd and its associated websites are covered as supplied - contact us in the first instance for any claim rather than approaching HID directly.
A small number of HID accessories (such as certain Signo mounting plates and wall spacers) are not individually named in HID's published policy. Where this applies, contact us to confirm the term that applies to your specific item before relying on the Lifetime cover shown above for readers.
