Introduction
The Proxy Mobile Reader Nano Inline and Mobile Reader Nano Connect boards are installed between a
controller and an access control reader. When users present their credential (card, key fob, fingerprint,
etc.) to the reader, the reader passes the Wiegand command to the controller. The access control
system then grants or denies access to the secure location.
The Nano Inline and Nano Connect are Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) enabled. When users present their
phones enabled with the Proxy ID app, the Nanos communicate with the phone and pass the Wiegand
command to the controller. The access control system then grants or denies access to the secure
location.
Mobile Reader Nano Inline
Functionality
Nano Inline is a physical access control mobile credential reader, intended to be installed in locations
such as elevators and turnstiles. The reader is also capable of supporting pass through physical card
credentials when used in conjunction with a compatible physical card reader (not provided). The
reader can interface with an access control system equipped with a Wiegand interface. The reader
consists of the following main parts.

External Antenna Information
Important:
Do not kink or bend the antenna cable during installation as this will permanently damage the cable.
Instead, carefully loop any extra length of antenna cable.

Antenna Installation
1. Open the enclosure and remove the reader assembly
2. Locate the existing reader’s pigtail and identify the Power/GND and D0/D1 wires. The Nano
Inline and Nano Connect will connect to these wires. Do not connect them at this time.
3. Locate sufficient space to mount the Nano Inline or Nano Connect
a. For the Nano Inline, identify a location next to the existing reader that allows both the
existing physical card reader and the Nano Inline to fit into the turnstile cavity such
that the Nano Inline antenna can reach to the faceplate. The antenna will not work
through metal, it should only be affixed to the inside of the plastic or glass faceplate
(see image below).
b. For the Nano Connect, attach antenna behind the existing reader at the top edge of the
inner, wall-facing side of the reader (see image below).


4. Both the Nano Inline and the Nano Connect come with 30cm and 15cm length antenna cables.
Select the shortest cable that will comfortably reach from where you plan to mount the Nano to
the antenna mounting location on the interior of the turnstile faceplate.
5. Connect the antenna cable to the Nano Inline or Nano Connect via the u.FL connector. It’s
important the connector goes in centered on the pin in the center. You will feel it click into
place. If not, don’t force the connector as this can break the pin.
6. You can throw away the antenna cable you didn’t use or keep it as a spare.

allows both the existing physical card reader and the Nano Inline to fit into the turnstile
cavity such that the Nano Inline antenna can reach to the faceplate.
b. For Nano Connect, locate behind the existing reader closest to the base of the existing
reader’s pigtail
5. Attach the antenna. Refer to Antenna Installation.
6. Secure the Nano
a. For Nano Inline, secure the module into the scanner assembly using the provided
double sided mounting tape
b. For Nano Connect, secure the module behind the reader using the provided double
sided mounting tape

7. For Nano Inline re-insert/secure the reader assembly into the enclosure, or for Nano Connect
secure the reader back on to the mounting backplate.
8. For the Nano Connect, install the Proxy faceplate cover, using a single screw at the bottom.
Power Up and Testing
1. Connect to power
2. View the Nano name in the “Proxy ID” app as a New Device
3. Provision Nano － Refer to the Provisioning Guide to provision to your Proxy organization and
sync to the local Access Control System
Recommended Infrastructure
1. All cabling and wiring shall be UL Listed or UL Recognized
2. All readers shall be powered by a UL Listed power-limited power supply, or power-limited
output from a UL Listed control panel
3. Linear DC Power Supply (5–24VDC, 12 mA @ 12V) Do not exceed 24V
Nano Inline and Nano Connect operate at very low current ratings. If operating with the need for more
precise ratings of low current draw, please contact Proxy directly.

Installation in a Turnstile, Elevator Panel, or Other
Enclosure
The optimal placement of the external antenna is against the glass pane where the current access
control reader exists. These glass panes are typically designed to allow for radio signals to pass
through with minimal interference, which is preferred for the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signal from
the Nano Inline for connection to the Proxy ID mobile app.

The recommended mode of operation of the Nano Inline is such that the phone must be placed within a
few inches of the antenna in order to activate the mobile credential. For this reason, it is recommended

that the Nano Inline external antenna is adhered to a location that is in close proximity to the place
where users would also tap their RFID / access control cards.
