6.2 Prox Interface (125 kHz; SE32x0APx only)
The Prox interface is optimized for connection to the HID Prox antenna 6500-101-03. If
this antenna or one with equal electrical characteristics is used, no additional
components are required.

The onboard capacitor of 2nF and the external antenna coil build a serial resonator. Choose
approximately 125 kHz for the resonance frequency. An additional 33Ω resistor is used to
control the quality factor of the antenna.
If the used antenna has a different electrical characteristic than the HID 6500-101-03 Prox
antenna, external components may be necessary to adjust resonance frequency and quality
factor to the desired value.
The desired quality factor of the system is between 5 and 15 depending on antenna size.
HID provides additional documents, support and services for antenna design and
support. These documents may require service level agreements. Contact your sales
