Paxton Access Inc. 400-130-US Proximity Reader P38 Hid

Product Description

The PAXTON ACCESS INC. 400-130-US is a proximity card reader designed for access control installations. Built as the P38 model with HID compatibility, this reader allows credential-based entry by detecting and reading proximity cards or fobs presented at the reader head. It is typically installed at door frames, gate posts, or secure entry points in commercial and light industrial facilities. Security integrators and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers. HID compatibility means it works within the widely adopted HID card and credential ecosystem, simplifying integration into existing access control systems.

This proximity reader is suited for commercial access control applications where door-level or perimeter security is required. It is designed for standard wall or frame mounting at controlled entry points such as offices, server rooms, warehouses, and similar facilities. The P38 reader integrates into access control panels and systems that support HID-format proximity credentials, making it a practical replacement or addition for sites already standardized on HID card stock.

Key Features

• P38 form factor suited for surface mounting at door frames and access points
• Designed for commercial and light industrial access control environments

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or security systems integrator familiar with access control wiring practices. Power down the access control panel before making any wiring connections to the reader. Follow all applicable local low-voltage and security system codes during installation. Consult the panel manufacturer wiring documentation to confirm reader interface requirements before mounting.
