Introduction
The pcProx® Plus OEM module enables users to easily embed active RFID read capability into their
equipment. The security, reliability, and convenience of proximity and contactless identification and
access is available in a self-contained electronic module. This module allows customers to develop
a wide variety of unique, customized devices that tap into the power of using existing door access
cards for employee identification and authentication. The OEM module is perfect for third-party
manufacturers or developers who want to integrate 125 kHz proximity or 13.56 MHz contactless
technology into their standard offerings.
The pcProx Plus OEM module can be seamlessly integrated due to its capability of providing data
via USB keystrokes, a Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) interface, ASCII serial, or Wiegand output. The
reader can be configured to add keystrokes before or after card data. As an integrated reader, it has
the ability to work with a multitude of applications.

Installation
To install the module into the equipment, complete the following steps:
1. From the back side of the module (the side without the red antennas), insert the standoff into
the center hole of the module.
2. Remove the adhesive tape from the standoff.
3. Affix the module to the required location inside the piece of equipment.
4. Depending on your model, plug the USB connector or the DB9 connector into the appropriate
port or connect the wires on the pigtail to the appropriate wires in the equipment.
Notes:
- On the Wiegand model, the USB connection is not required for operation. The USB connection
on Wiegand models is only used if the device needs to be configured.
- The device may not recognize valid cards in the presence of high RF fields or when placed in
close proximity to metal surfaces. If card reads are erratic, move the equipment away from any
nearby transmitters or insulate the module from nearby metal surfaces.
Indicators
(LED/Beeper)
The pcProxPlus OEM Module can be equipped with an LED indicator and/or a beeper. These devices
are configurable through the pcProx Configuration Utility.
