GatEvo ProxPad

Dual-frequency RFID and PIN access — engineered for GatEvo Connect.

Professional-grade outdoor ProxPad reader for gate pillars and post mounts. Read 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz credentials, enforce PIN or two-factor card+PIN, and manage every user from GatEvo Connect over a single RS485 BUS — no protocol converters or secondary controllers.

GatEvo ProxPad — dual-frequency RFID access reader

Native RS485 integration. Wire directly to GatEvo Connect on the installer BUS. Credentials, PINs, and schedules are managed in the same platform your clients already use — reducing commissioning time and support callbacks.

Access control

Flexible authentication modes

Configure per entrance or user group — from simple fob entry to high-security card-plus-PIN for commercial sites.

Card or fob

125 kHz EM or 13.56 MHz MIFARE/NFC presented at the reader.

PIN entry

Backlit keypad with programmable PIN length and lockout policies via Connect.

Card + PIN

Two-factor sequence — credential first, then PIN — for higher-assurance access.

Engineering

Designed for installer-grade deployments

Dual-frequency reading

One reader head covers legacy 125 kHz estates and modern 13.56 MHz cards — fewer SKUs on the van.

RS485 differential BUS

Reliable communication up to 1,200 m — suited to long driveway runs and noisy environments.

IP65 enclosure

Sealed ABS housing for permanent outdoor mounting in UK weather.

−25 °C to +85 °C

Rated for unheated cabinets and seasonal temperature swings.

Audio & LED feedback

Tri-colour LED and buzzer confirm granted, denied, and PIN-in-progress states.

Sub-200 ms reads

Responsive access without the delay that frustrates users at the gate.

Platform

Managed through GatEvo Connect

The ProxPad is a first-class device on the GatEvo BUS. Commission alongside relays and inputs — your client manages day-to-day access in the GatEvo app while you retain installer control via gatevo.net.

  • Add, revoke, and schedule credentials without site visits
  • Enforce card-only, PIN-only, or combined policies per output
  • Pair with GatEvo DIN Rail PSU for a single 12V feed in the cabinet
  • Documented RS485 topology for multi-device installs

Frequently asked questions

Common specification and ordering questions from installers. For wiring diagrams or project-specific advice, contact our UK trade team.

Does the ProxPad work without GatEvo Connect?
No — it is designed as a native RS485 peripheral for GatEvo Connect. Credentials and policies are managed through the GatEvo platform.
Can I use existing 125 kHz fobs from another brand?
The reader supports standard 125 kHz EM/HID-style proximity and 13.56 MHz MIFARE credentials. Enrol cards through GatEvo Connect during commissioning.
What cable should I use for RS485?
Use twisted-pair cable suitable for RS485 differential signalling. Follow the maximum BUS length and topology guidance in the GatEvo installer documentation.
Is the ProxPad suitable for gate pillars?
Yes — IP65 rating and the 86 × 86 mm footprint are intended for outdoor gate and pedestrian entrances.
How is power supplied?
12V DC from the GatEvo DIN Rail PSU (recommended) or another regulated 12V source sized for Connect plus ProxPad load.
