HID multiCLASS SE RP15 — Single-Gang Multi-Technology Reader for Mixed Credential Sites
The HID multiCLASS SE RP15 is the single-gang (mid-size) multi-technology reader from HID Global’s multiCLASS SE platform — supports iCLASS SE, SEOS (13.56 MHz), and legacy HID Prox (125 kHz) credentials in a single reader. Standard single-gang form factor with IP55-rated indoor / protected-outdoor environmental protection.
The RP15 sits between the RP10 (mullion) and RP40 (standard wall) in the multiCLASS SE lineup — for projects needing a single-gang form factor at mid-size during phased credential migration from Prox to iCLASS SE / SEOS.
When to Choose the RP15 vs. Sibling multiCLASS SE Readers
| Form factor | Model | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Mullion (narrow) | RP10 | Narrow door frames, elevator panels |
| Single-gang (mid-size) | RP15 (this) | Standard single-gang installation, mid-size profile |
| Standard wall (full-size) | RP40 | Most-installed standard commercial doors |
| Standard wall + keypad | RPK40 | 2-factor (card + PIN) positions |
The RP15 is the right pick when single-gang form factor + multi-technology is the requirement at mid-size profile.
Where the multiCLASS SE RP15 Wins
- Condo and HOA buildings with a mix of old Prox fobs and new smart cards
- Apartment walk-ups swapping credentials one budget cycle at a time — Loop, River North, and North Side buildings alike
- Small offices with legacy Prox cards still in staff wallets
- Storefront back doors where a dead reader needs replacing without reissuing every fob
- Parking garage doors already fitted with single-gang boxes
- Property management common-area door readers
- Restaurant and café back-of-house doors during a credential swap
- Phased credential migrations spanning multiple budget cycles
