Kantech P325XSF ioProx Reader, 26-bit Weigand, XSF Format, 1-Gang, Black

The Kantech P325XSF is an ioProx 125 kHz proximity card reader designed for single-gang mounting in commercial access control systems. Featuring Kantech eXtended Secure Format (XSF), a read range up to 8 inches (20.5 cm), and digital signal processing, it provides contactless credential identification for secured entrances. The reader operates on 4.5-14 VDC with a maximum current draw of 45 mA and includes a weather-resistant black housing, integrated piezoelectric buzzer, and red/green LED status indicator for indoor and outdoor installations.

Kantech P325XSF ioProx 125 kHz XSF Proximity Card Reader, Single-Gang, Black

The Kantech P325XSF is a single-gang proximity reader designed for electronic access control systems in commercial buildings, offices, educational facilities, and secured entrances. Part of Johnson Controls' ioProx reader family, it operates at 125 kHz with a typical credential read range up to 8 inches (20.5 cm). The reader uses Kantech eXtended Secure Format (XSF) and supports compatible ioProx credentials, including proximity cards, keytags, and adhesive tags. Its digital signal processing (DSP) technology supports consistent credential recognition, while contactless operation allows authorized users to present a credential without inserting or swiping a card. The P325XSF is a credential-only reader without an integrated keypad.

The P325XSF supports Kantech XSF credential communication, with the ioProx credential family accommodating both XSF and 26-bit Wiegand formats. XSF provides over 4 billion possible credential code combinations, supporting expanded credential identification within compatible access control systems. The reader includes a bicolor red/green LED indicator and integrated piezoelectric buzzer for visual and audible feedback during credential presentation. Its weather-resistant, vandal-resistant housing supports use at interior and exterior entrances, while an optional Kantech P-TAMP tamper switch provides enclosure tamper monitoring when installed with compatible equipment.

The reader operates on 4.5-14 VDC with a maximum current consumption of 45 mA and connects to compatible access control controllers through a quick-connect terminal block. Kantech specifies 22 AWG unshielded, three twisted-pair cable, such as Belden 8742, for reader wiring. Maximum reader-to-controller distance is 500 feet (150 meters) at 5 VDC or 1,000 feet (300 meters) at 12 VDC, subject to the specified wiring configuration. The P325XSF integrates with compatible Kantech access control equipment, including supported door controllers, Kantech Telephone Entry Systems (KTES), and EntraPass-managed installations. Controller compatibility and credential format must be verified before installation.

The Kantech P325XSF ioProx reader features a black enclosure measuring 4.55 inches high x 2.80 inches wide x 0.84 inches deep (115.6 x 71.1 x 21.3 mm) and weighs approximately 5.3 ounces (150 g). Its single-gang mounting configuration accommodates compatible standard electrical boxes, while the compact housing supports installation on interior walls and exterior entry surfaces. The reader operates in temperatures from -30 F to 150 F (-35 C to 65 C) and carries manufacturer-listed UL, CE, and FCC Part 15 Class B certifications, with RoHS and WEEE environmental compliance. Designed for compatible Kantech XSF access control installations, the P325XSF provides proximity credential reading, local status indication, and weather-resistant construction for daily electronic access management.
