prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

1.10 General Description

The IEI prox.pad Proximity Reader/Keypad Door Access Control provides card and/or keypad access control for a single door. You
can install the unit either in a one-stage configuration, or a higher security, two-stage (or “remote”) configuration.

In the “secure” (or remote) configuration, you can detach the antenna and mount it up to a maximum of 10 feet away from the main
prox.pad unit. For installation details, see section 1.16.3.

The prox.pad is compatible with all HID proximity cards, up to 40 bit format. You can program cards either by presentation (up to 40
bit) or through batch programming without presenting the cards (only for 26-bit HID cards). All programming is performed using the
built-in keypad on the unit.

In standalone mode, the following four user types are available in the prox.pad unit:

● 0-Toggle/latch lock

● 1-Normal access

● 2-log Dump

● 3-Lockout

In standalone mode, the unit can store up to 2000 users and 1000 transaction events, which can both be transmitted via the IR LED for
collection by the optional Data Collection Device for reporting purposes.

The unit is equipped with a lock release main relay and an auxiliary relay, which you can program for alarm shunt, forced door or
propped door access control functions.

1.11 Operating Modes

During initial installation, the installer programs the prox.pad unit for one of three operating modes, “Standalone,” “Wiegand Front
End,” or “Secured Series Front End.” Only one operating mode can be selected at any one time. If you plan to use Standalone mode
(the default, out-of-the-box, mode), no programming is required.

In “Standalone” mode (Chapter 2), all the access control decisions are made by the prox.pad unit. The unit operates entirely on its
own. The unit contains a main relay for controlling the locking device and a programmable auxiliary relay for access control functions
such as alarm shunt, forced door and propped door. The unit has an input for a door position switch and a request to exit (REX)
device. The prox.pad stores all transactions the transactions locally in memory and has an IR LED for dumping the transaction event
log to the Data Collection Device. You can use the device as a keypad, card reader or combination to gain access.

In “Wiegand Front End” mode (Chapter 3), the prox.pad is used as front end for a Wiegand access control panel. No access control
decision are made in the prox.pad. The Wiegand data is just sent to the Wiegand control panel. The panel then makes all access
control decisions and controls the prox.pad LEDs. You can use it as a keypad or a card reader. The keypad data is only sent as 26-Bit
card data, but the card reader just passes the data from the card to the panel. You can use up to 40-Bit HID format cards.

In “Secured Series Front End” mode, the prox.pad unit is used as a front end with an IEI Secured Series Door Control Module. Either
standard 26-bit or Corporate 1000 prox cards can be used during Secured Series mode. No other format cards can be used. The PIN
data is extracted from these card types and sent to the Secured Series Door Control Module for verification (for details, see Chapter 4).

In all operating modes, the prox.pad unit maintains programmability so that prox.pad system parameters can be set. The default
factory setting during programming is for the unit to “time out” after 45 seconds of inactivity.

1.13 Installation Configurations

NOTE: IEI recommends that first-time installers test the prox.pad unit before actually mounting and wiring the unit. This allows you
to become familiar with its operation and save time on the job site (see section 2.6).

It is the installer’s responsibility to determine the appropriate prox.pad installation configuration, which differs from installation to
installation. These three installation configurations are possible:

● Wall Mounted Installation (exterior to the room to be accessed).

In this configuration, a single gang electrical box can be used. Typically, the prox.pad unit is wall mounted (surface mounted)
outside the access area on the unsecured side.

● Glass Mounted Installation

In this configuration, the prox.pad unit is affixed with the four IEI supplied adhesive pads to the glass door or the window
adjacent to the door being accessed, on the interior side of the glass. The side cut-out on the unit is used to bring the wires out
of the side of the prox.pad case.

● Secure Installation (or “two-stage” configuration)

In this configuration, the prox.pad antenna is located a maximum of 10 feet away from the keypad; the keypad is located on
the secure side of the door.

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

1.14 Other Installation Considerations

Sections 1.15.1 - 1.15.4 describe important considerations the installer must decide upon before actually starting to install and wire the
prox.pad.

1.14.1 Power Supply/Current Requirements

Power for the prox.pad unit must be from a minimum 10-15 volt DC linear, filtered and regulated access control power limited power
supply. The prox.pad unit draws approximately 55mA of current. It is typical for the chosen power supply to power both the prox.pad
unit and the locking device. When using one power supply for both the prox.pad unit and locking device, be sure to include both
devices in your current requirements calculations.

NOTE: IEI recommends that you ground the power supply to earth ground.

1.14.2 Gang Box and Mounting

For the wall mounted installation configuration, a single gang electrical box can be used. Typically, the prox.pad unit is wall mounted
outside the access area on the unsecured side of the door.

1.14.3 Mounting the Unit on Metal

The prox.pad unit uses radio frequency (RF) to transfer power to and communicate with the proximity card or key fob. If the antenna
is mounted directly on a metal building or wall, some of the energy is absorbed by the metal, resulting in less power being transmitted
to the card/key fob; this causes reduced read range. If you must mount the prox.pad unit on metal, test the unit in place before
permanently installing it. If read range distance distance is not adequate, a non-metallic spacer can be fabricated and installed between
the unit’s antenna and the metal mounting surface.

1.14.4 RF Interference

The prox.pad unit should not cause interference to other equipment as it is designed to meet FCC guidelines. However, other devices
can interfere with prox.pad operation. Avoid locating the prox.pad unit closer than 3 feet (1 meter) to a computer monitor or television
or another prox.pad unit. If you believe you are experiencing reduced read range due to interference, try repositioning the prox.pad
unit, remoting the antenna, or relocating other nearby electrical equipment.

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

1.16 Mounting the prox.pad Unit

Select one of these three installation configurations, wall mount, glass mount, or secure as appropriate for this installation. Then refer
to the following sections.

1.16.1 Performing a Wall Mounted Installation

This section provides general considerations when performing a wall mounted installation. Typically, the prox.pad unit is mounted on
a flat, level surface (drywall, masonry, wood, etc.) exterior to the room to be accessed. A single-gang electrical box (or back box) can
be used. Typically, the prox.pad unit is wall mounted outside the access area on the unsecured side of the door.

Figure 3 below illustrates the components on the prox.pad unit used for wall mounting. Two single-gang box holes align with two
corresponding holes in the single-gang box. A wire exit knockout is supplied through which the prox.pad wiring is pulled. A typical
wall mounted installation proceeds as follows:

1. Install a single-gang box in the desired location.

2. Punch out the two single-gang box knockouts on the controller backplate of the prox.pad unit.

3. Disconnect the controller backplate of the prox.pad unit from the front keypad/controller. Align the two single-gang box
holes on the controller backplate over the two corresponding holes on the single-gang box, previously secured at step 1.

4. Secure the backplate to the single-gang box by inserting/tightening two screws into the two single-gang box holes.

5. Connect the front keypad/controller to the back housing.

6. Pull the prox.pad wiring through the wiring exit as appropriate.

7. Install the tamper screw into the hole at the bottom front of the enclosure using a #6 spanner bit (not included, but available
from IEI).

Figure 3: Performing a Wall Mounted Installation

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

1.16.2 Performing a Glass Mounted Installation

Figure 4 below shows the four IEI-supplied pressure-sensitive adhesive pads and the two side cut-outs used for this installation. In this
configuration, the prox.pad unit is affixed with the four self-adhesive pads to the glass or the glass window adjacent to the door being
accessed, on the interior side of the glass. One of the two side cut-outs is used to bring the wires out of the side of the prox.pad case.

A typical glass mounted installation proceeds as follows:

1. Disconnect the back housing from the front keypad/ controller. Remove the tape from the four self-adhesive pads on the back
housing and apply the pads to the four corners of the backplate.

2. Affix the back housing to the glass door or the glass window adjacent to the door being accessed, on the interior side of the
glass.

3. Determine which of the two side cut-outs on the back housing to use for the wiring and remove that cut-out using the
appropriate cutting tool.

4. Pull the wiring through the selected side cut-out as required.

5. Connect the front keypad/controller to the back housing.

6. Install the tamper screw into the hole at the bottom front of the enclosure using a #6 spanner bit (not included, but available
from IEI).

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

1.16.3 Performing a Secure Installation

In this configuration, the prox.pad prox antenna housing is removed from the keypad/controller and located a maximum of 10 feet
away. The controller/keypad is located inside the secure area.

1. Remove the antenna housing from the prox.pad keypad/controller as described below:

● Disconnect the backplate of the prox.pad unit from the front keypad/controller.

● When handling the main printed circuit board, to guard against possible static discharges, touch a

grounded object before touching the prox.pad unit. Remove the main printed circuit board by
pressing the two spring tabs in the direction of the arrows as shown in Figure 5 on the next page. Be
careful with the wires.

● Pull on the main circuit board and remove the wire harness from P4 from the bottom of the main board. A ribbon cable

now holds the main board to the keypad board. Do not pull this ribbon cable out of its connector! Once the main board is
removed, you can access the interior of the antenna.

● Remove the antenna housing from the keypad/controller by pressing the labeled four secure tabs inward (see Figure 5)

until the antenna housing pops out.

2. Prepare the wiring and extension wiring as follows:

● Cut off the plastic end of the prox.pad antenna housing harness.

● Splice the recommended remote antenna cable Alpha 1294C (22AWG, stranded and shielded), 10-foot maximum length,

to the properly cut antenna cable using standard electrical techniques.

3. Mount the antenna backplate in a vertical orientation and secure it to the wall through the two screw holes using two IEI­provided screws. Ensure that the two weep holes, provided to remove possible moisture, are positioned on the bottom. The
wiring exits in the antenna backplate. (Four external cut-outs on the antenna backplate match the four spring-loaded tabs on
the antenna.)

NOTE: Two side cut-outs are furnished on the antenna backplate for the wiring, if the installation does not permit the
wiring to run through the wall. These must be cut out to be used.

● Once the antenna backplate is mounted properly, align the antenna to the backplate and connect the antenna to the

antenna backplate. The large tab in the center of the antenna assembly must be broken off before being attached to the
antenna backplate.

4. Run the antenna wiring back to the secure keypad/controller and connect it to the main circuit board, using the 10-inch 4-wire
harness (red, black, white, and white) that you plug into connector P4 on the controller board. Connect the red wire of the
antenna to the red wire of the P4 harness, etc. Seal the wire holes with silicone.

5. Select Filler or Request to Exit (REX) operation as follows:

● If you elect to use the filler piece as a REX switch, return to the keypad/controller and break off two tabs on the filler

piece as illustrated in Figure 5. The filler piece replaces the antenna on the front of the keypad/controller for secure
installations. Refer to section 2.7.5d for programming the internal REX.

● If the filler piece is not to be used as a REX switch, do not remove the two tabs.

● Select “Filler or “REX” operation and affix the appropriate IEI-provided label to the filler piece. For Filler operation, no

tabs are broken off the filler piece, which merely sits in place of the remotely located antenna, once the main circuit
board and cabling are replaced. For REX operation, break off the labeled tabs, which allows a spring-loaded tab to
engage the REX switch on the main circuit board and open the door.

● Replace the main circuit board into the keypad/controller and pin connector P4 to the main circuit board.

● Connect the front keypad/controller of the unit to the back housing.

● Secure with a hex socket screw using the supplied hex wrench, or secure with a tamper screw (optional tool required).

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

1.18 Defaulting prox.pad Memory

If necessary, the prox.pad main memory can be defaulted (erased). This procedure explains how to do this; see Figure 8 below. You
would default the memory, if, for instance, static discharges have corrupted the prox.pad unit, during shipping or installation. You can
also do this if you have simply forgotten the Master Code and you need to enter program mode.

With the power on, remove the case from the prox.pad front controller/keypad to access the main circuit board. (For a visual reference
of the main printed circuit board and the related pin connectors, see Figure 2. Table 2 describes these pins in detail.) (When handling
the main printed circuit board, to guard against possible static discharges, touch a grounded object before touching the prox.pad unit.)

1. With the power on, press and hold the Program button (located on the rear side of the main printed circuit board) for two
seconds and release. The yellow LED flashes slowly.

2. Enter the following on the keypad:

46 # 00000 # 00000 # **

The yellow LED flickers rapidly for several seconds and then blinks slowly.

3. Once the memory reset is complete press * to exit program mode then re-assemble the unit.

NOTE: CONNECTING DOOR LOOP INPUT - Before powering up the prox.pad unit, connect the Door Loops input to the “Loop
Common.” This prevents “Forced Door” or “Propped Door” conditions from developing upon power-up.

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

Chapter 2: Standalone Mode

Chapter 2 describes Standalone mode and supplies wiring diagrams, general programming information, and a programming chart
specific to Standalone mode.

2.1 Standalone Mode Description

Standalone mode is the default, out-of-the-box mode of the prox.pad unit as shipped. No programming is required to place the unit in
Standalone mode. In this mode, all decisions to open the door remain with the prox.pad unit, and Wiegand Front End and Secured
Series Front End outputs are disabled.

Once installed and programmed, in Stand-alone mode, the prox.pad controller stores all transactions and controls all outputs. All
access control decisions are made by the prox.pad unit.

2.1.1 Standalone Features

The following is a list of Standalone mode features, each of which is discussed in detail later in this chapter.

● Batch Load by Presentation (26 bit to 40 bit) in Stand-Alone mode

● Delete a block of users in Stand-Alone mode

● Timed Anti-Passback in Stand-Alone mode

● Set the duration for Anti-Passback between 1/2 sec to 60 sec in ¼ sec increments

● Invalid PIN Lockout (IPL) in Stand Alone mode

• Set threshold between 1 and 50 invalid attempts before the IPL event is triggered.

• Triggers Forced Door (local sounder or AUX relay for silent alert)

OR

• Triggers Timed Lockout

• (Set the timed lockout between 5 sec and 21 min in 5 sec increments)

● The Access By Facility feature has been extended to include both 26 bit and Corporate 1000 cards. The type of card being

used, and the Facility code must be set prior to operation.

NOTE: IEI prox.pad Proximity Reader/Keypad Door Access Control can be installed either indoors or outdoors; for installation

details, see section 1.15.

2.2 Inputs/Outputs

The prox.pad is equipped with two relay outputs. The Main Relay is a Form-C, 2A relay used to control the locking device. The Aux
Relay is a Form-C, 1A relay and its function is programmable. You can program the Aux Relay to operate as either an Alarm Shunt,
Forced Door or Propped Door output used shunt out an existing alarm system or signal an alarm if the door is forced or propped open.

The Forced Door and Propped Door functions can also operate a local audible alert. You can program the local sounder on the keypad
to operate as the Forced Door or Propped Door output in addition to or instead of the Aux Relay.

The prox.pad also has two inputs used to monitor a door position switch or a request to exit (REX) device. The door position switch
input requires a normally closed dry contact to operate and the REX input requires a normally open dry contact.

Page 26 of 86 Document # 6055676, Rev 2.2, D4b

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

2.3 Unit Capacity

The prox.pad unit can accommodate up to 2,000 users. Each user can have a card/tag, a PIN code, or a card/tag plus a PIN code.

A maximum of 1,000 time-stamped transactions can be stored in the prox.pad unit. Each transaction includes these parameters: Time,
Date, User “slot number,” and event. A complete Transaction Log can be printed to the optional Data Collection Device via the built­in IR LED. For printing details, see section 2.8. The type of Transaction Log is “First In, First Out.” The oldest transaction gets
deleted when the new one is added.

2.4 Alarm Output Selection

During initial installation, the prox.pad unit’s AUX relay output is wired to trigger ONE of three events. Consequently, the installer
must know which of these events is appropriate for each installation.

● Alarm Shunt Relay

● Forced Door Relay

● Propped Door Relay

Separate instructions and wiring diagrams for each of the above applications are provided later in this chapter.

NOTE: The capability provided by the internal local sounder (an audible alarm) is separate from the 1A AUX relay. The sounder can
trigger regardless of how the AUX relay is programmed.

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

2.5 Wiring the prox.pad Unit

The following sections describe how to wire the Aux Relay for either Alarm Shunt, Forced Door, or Propped Door, depending on how
the prox.pad’s alarm output is to be used for this installation. Wiring the door contacts, Request to Exti (REX) and main relay are also
discussed.

2.5.1 Wiring the AUX Relay for Use as Alarm Shunt

The Alarm Shunt Relay function may be necessary when a separate existing security system is in place. The Alarm Shunt Relay keeps
an alarm panel zone from going into alarm when the door is opened, after a valid code is entered. No programming is required for a
new unit out-of-box, or if the unit is ever defaulted using programming commands 40 or 46. The prox.pad controller assigns the AUX
relay to the Alarm Shunt Relay automatically upon any valid access or egress. To incorporate this feature, follow the steps below; see
Figure 9.

1. Turn off power to the prox.pad unit, and then unlatch the keypad from the plastic housing.

2. Locate connector P2 (the 6-pin connector) on the main circuit board and plug on the 6-pin harness. (The 2-pin jumper on pins
5 and 6 of connector P2 must be removed first.)

3. Connect the 6-conductor harness to connector P2 as shown in Figure 9.

4. Connect the green wire to the “Common” side of the door contact.

5. Connect the blue wire to the “Normally Open” side of the door contact.

6. Make a parallel connection to the green and blue wires and run the leads to the alarm panel.

NOTE:This feature requires that you use the “Door Contact” input as shown in Figure 9.

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

2.5.2 Wiring the AUX Relay for Use as Forced Door

The Forced Door output function informs personnel that the door has been opened without authorization. The Aux relay is rated to
handle 1 Amp of current at 12 VDC, and can turn ON or OFF one leg of the power to a warning device. (Warning device not included
with the IEI unit.) To incorporate this feature, follow the steps below; see Figure 10.

1. Turn OFF power to the prox.pad unit, and then unlatch the keypad from the plastic housing.

2. Locate connector P2 (the 6-pin connector) on the main circuit board.

3. Connect the 6-conductor harness to connector P2. (The 2-pin jumper on pins 5 and 6 of connector P2 must be removed first.)

4. Connect the green wire to V+ on the warning device.

5. Connect the blue wire to V+on the power supply.

6. Connect V- from the power supply to V- on the sounder. The gray wire is not used.

NOTE: To use the default 10-second Forced Door Relay time, no programming is necessary. To change this default (from 10 to 990
seconds), enter the appropriate programming after the unit is installed successfully; for details, see section 2.7.4c.

NOTE: PROGRAMMING FOR FORCED DOOR - To program for Forced Door, enter the following on the keypad: 15 # 2 # 0 #
** white in programming mode.

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

2.5.3 Wiring the AUX Relay for Use as Propped Door

The Propped Door Relay output function informs personnel that the door is being held open, or “propped” open, after a valid entry.
The Aux relay is rated to handle one amp of current at 12 VDC, and turns ON or OFF one leg of the power to a warning device.
(Warning device not included with the IEI unit.) To incorporate this feature, follow the steps below; see Figure 11.

1. Turn OFF power to the prox.pad unit, and then unlatch the keypad from the plastic housing.

2. Locate connector P2 (the 6-pin connector) on the main circuit board.

3. Connect the 6-conductor harness to connector P2. (The 2-pin jumper on pins 5 and 6 of connector P2 must be removed first.)

4. Connect the green wire to V+ on the sounder.

5. Connect the blue wire to V+on the power supply.

6. Connect V- from the power supply to V- on the sounder. The gray wire is not used.

NOTE: To use the default 30-second Propped Door Relay time, no programming is necessary. To change this default (from 30 to 990
seconds), enter the appropriate programming after the unit is installed successfully; for details, see section 2.7.4b.

NOTE: PROGRAMMING FOR PROPPED DOOR - To program for Propped Door, enter the following on the keypad: 15 # 3 # 0
# **

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

2.5.4 Wiring the Door Contact Input

To solve the problem of people “tailgating” in behind personnel using valid access protocol, the Auto Re-Lock feature is provided.
With Auto Re-Lock, a long door open time can be programmed. Auto Re-Lock overrides the main relay timer, resetting the door open
time as soon as the prox.pad unit senses that the door is open. A long door open time allows people sufficient time to carry packages
from the proximity reader/keypad to the door and open it before the timer runs out.

No programming is required to implement this feature.

After a valid access or egress, the prox.pad unit senses that the door switch is open and drops the main relay immediately. This
disengages the lock, which locks behind the person regardless of how long it takes that person to get through the door.

The door contact input is also used for the propped door and forced door features.

Figure 12: Wiring the Door Contact Input

Document # 6055676, Rev 2.2, D4b Page 31 of 86

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

2.5.5 Wiring an External REX Switch (Request to Exit)

The prox.pad unit can be wired to monitor a remote switching device, which is intended to be installed on the secure side of a door.
The Request to Exit (REX) switch is a momentary input closure that engages the main relay for the same length of time for which the
main relay is programmed. This feature can be stored in the Transaction Log for viewing.

If you elect to perform a secure installation where the controller is mounted on the secure side of the door, you can use the filler piece
as a REX switch. For other installations, a separate REX switch must be purchased.

Other REX devices can be used to include a remote button placed at a receptionist’s desk, a press-to-exit switch on the inside of a
door, or a passive infrared detector, allowing free and convenient egress. The REX feature requires no programming; simply wire the
unit as illustrated in Figure 13. To incorporate this feature, follow the steps below:

1. Turn OFF power to the prox.pad unit, and then unlatch the keypad from the plastic housing.

2. Locate connector P2 on the main circuit board.

3. Plug the 6-conductor harness into connector P2. (The 2-pin jumper on pins 5 and 6 of connector P2 must be removed first.)

4. If you do not wish to install the door contacts per figure 13, twist the white wire and the orange wires together; this is
mandatory. If this is not done, the REX input will not function.

NOTE: The door contact MUST be closed for the REX feature to work properly.

Figure 13: Wiring the REX Switch

Use ALPHA 2421C 18 AWG or ALPHA 1292C 22 AWG, 2-conductor, stranded and

shielded cable. The cable shield drain wire must be grounded at the reader end to

P1, pin 4 connection (DC Power Supply Ground).

2.6 Testing the prox.pad

At this point in a typical installation, it is assumed that the prox.pad unit has been mounted and wired successfully as described earlier
and that testing can begin. IEI recommends, however, that first-time installers test the prox.pad unit BEFORE actually mounting and
wiring the unit to become familiar with its operation.

2.6.1 Testing the Controller/Keypad

1. Connect the positive (+) lead of the power supply to the V+ input on the prox.pad controller/keypad.

2. Connect the negative (-) lead of the power supply to the V- input on the prox.pad controller/keypad.

3. Turn ON the power supply.

4. Ensure that the bi-color LED (red and green) on the prox.pad unit lights red.

5. Perform the keypad self-test described in section 5.2.

6. Enter the master code on the keypad by pressing: 99 # Master Code * (default is 1234)

The red LED turns OFF and the green LED turns ON for five seconds while the main relay energizes. To program the unit,
see section 2.7.

Page 34 of 86 Document # 6055676, Rev 2.2, D4b

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

2.7 Programming in Standalone Mode

Section 2.7 provides information about programming the IEI prox.pad unit. Certain parameters must be programmed upon initial
installation, such as changing the default Master Code (section 2.7.1a) Section 1.17 describes how to default the memory.

2.7.1 General Programming Features

The first step in programming the prox.pad unit is to place it into program mode by using the master code, which is defaulted to 1234.

To place the prox.pad unit in program mode, press: 99 # Master Code *

When the prox.pad is in program mode the yellow LED flashes slowly.

When you are done programming, to exit program mode press the * key.

If at any point you make a programming error (either press a wrong key or perform a command the unit does not recognize), the unit
produces a program error by turning on the yellow LED solid. To clear a program error, simply press the * key.

Note: If you don't know the master code, refer to section 1.17 to press the program button (SW1) on the main circuit board.
Momentarily pushing this button forces the unit into program mode. Also refer to Table 13 for further details on troubleshooting
issues with the master code.

2.7.1.a Changing the Master Code

The default master code of 1234 must be changed prior to performing any programming on the prox.pad unit. Attempting to
perform any programming commands produces a program error (solid yellow LED). To clear this error simply press the * key. The
only exception to this rule is the 46 command, used to default the unit. All other programming is not allowed.

To change the master code use the following programming sequence:

1. Enter Program Mode

Press: 99 # master code *

The yellow LED flashes slowly.

2. Program the new master code.

Press: 1 # new master code * repeat new master code *

3. Exit Program Mode

Press: *

The yellow LED stops flashing.

Note: Throughout the programming section the last step is to exit program mode. If you are going to program multiple users or
keypad options, you are not required to exit program mode after each command sequence. You may continue to the next
programming option without exiting program mode. When all your programming is complete, you can then exit program mode by
pressing the * key.

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

2.7.2 Programming Users

The following section describes in detail how to program users. The prox.pad can store up to 2000 users. Each user is stored in a
separate location in the unit's memory. This is referred to as the user location. Codes can be from 1 to 6 digit in length in any
combination. If at any point while programming a code or a card you get a programming error (solid yellow LED), and you know you
are entering the command correctly, make sure that the code or card is not already programmed. If you are unsure try entering that
code or presenting that card outside of program mode and see if you are granted access. If so, you must use a different code or card for
that user.

Note: IEI recommends that you keep a list of all the users you have programmed in the device, in case you need to modify or delete a
particular user.

Note: A minimum of three user codes must be programmed into the keypad for controlling access.

2.7.2.a User Types

The table below identifies and describes the four user types supported by the prox.pad unit. The user type number is used in
programming commands in the subsequent sections where it indicates “user type.”

Table 6: prox.pad User Types

User Type Name User Type Number Description

Toggle User 0 Toggle users are used to latch the main relay in the unlocked

position for an indefinite period of time. Entering the same (or
another) toggle code, re-locks the unit.

Normal Access 1 Normal access users are the default user type. This user type

unlocks the door for the duration of the Main Relay time set in
command 11.

Log Dump 2 Log Dump users are used to dump the transaction event log

via the IR LED. When this user type is used the log begins
transmitting immediately. The log is only dumped and is not
erased. This user type does not gain access through the door.

Lockout 3 This user type, locks the keypad disallowing all other codes

plus the door remains in the current state. During a lockout
state, card access does not continue to work. If it is locked, it
remains locked. If it is unlocked, it remains unlocked until
another Lockout code (or the same one) is entered, releasing
it from Lockout mode.

2.7.2.b Programming a “Code Only” User

To program a “Code Only” use command 50. This user gains access by entering their code on the keypad. Refer to table 6 for details
on user types. Codes can be from 1 to 6 digit in length in any combination. The program sequence is as follows:

1. Enter Program Mode

Press: 99 # master code *

The yellow LED flashes slowly.

2. Program the “Code Only” User.

Press: 50 # user type # user location # code * repeat code *

3. Exit Program Mode

Press: *

The yellow LED stops flashing.

table 6 for details on user types. This command is useful, if you want to program a card, but you don't have the physical card with

you. When programming cards with this command, you must program the facility code, using command 32, parameter 2,
prior to programming users. The program sequence to program cards is as follows:

1. Enter Program Mode

Press: 99 # master code *

The yellow LED flashes slowly.

2. Program the “Card Only” User.

Press: 51 # user type # user location # card number * card number *

3. Exit Program Mode

The yellow LED stops flashing.

Note: If you want to program users with a different facility code, simply change
the facility code with command 32, parameter 2 before each series of users.

2.7.2.e Programming “Code AND Card” Users

When you are a combination “code and card” user you can present either your proximity card first at the proximity reader or enter the
code first on the prox.pad keypad. Codes can be from 1 to 6 digit in length in any combination. After you either present your card or
enter your code, the red and green LEDs alternate. This indicates that the unit is awaiting the second part of the combination before
granting access. Once access is granted, the bi-color LED turns solid green and the door unlocks. The program sequence is as follows:

1. Enter Program Mode

Press: 99 # master code *

The yellow LED flashes slowly.

2. Program the “Code AND Card” User.

2.7.2.g Programming 26-Bit “Card Only” Users via Batch Entry without Presentation

To program a 26-bit “Card Only” user via batch entry without presentation (without presenting the card to the reader) use command

56. “Batch entry” allows you to enter multiple, sequential 26-bit HID format cards into the prox.pad unit’s memory at one time.
(Keeping IEI proximity cards in order is easy as the code is printed on the front of each card.) Up to 1,999 users can be added this way
at one time. (User 1 is reserved for the Master code.)

NOTE: When programming cards with this command, you must program the facility code, using command 32, parameter 2,
prior to programming users.

To add several users, follow this procedure:

1. Enter Program Mode.

Press: 99 # Master Code *

The yellow LED flashes slowly.

2. Enter command to batch program users.

Press: 56 # (total number of cards to be added) # (starting user location) # card number * repeat card number *

2.7.2.h Programming Consecutive “Card Only” Users via Batch Entry by Presentation

To program consecutive “Card Only” user via batch entry by presentation (by presenting cards to the reader) use command 53. This
command provides a simple method of programming a group of consecutive users by presenting the appropriate prox cards. This
method of programming cards does not require any knowledge of the card format as long as it contains 40 bits or less of data. Up to
1,999 users can be added this way at one time. Entering the master user as the first card in the sequence generates an error because the
master code cannot be programmed as a “Card Only” user. The card loading stops automatically once the current user location
exceeds 2000. Pressing any key on the faceplate aborts the loading process.

To add several users from the proximity reader, follow this procedure:

1. Enter Program Mode.

Press: 99 # Master Code *

The yellow LED flashes slowly.

2. Enter command to batch program users.

Press: 53 # user type # start location # * * present cards one after another

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

2.7.5.g Programming Timed Anti-Passback

When you enable Timed Anti-Passback, which is the default value, you must specify a length of time that must pass before the same
prox card can be processed after it's presented. This requires that the card be outside of the prox read field during the entire period of
time. If the card is reintroduced into the field prior to expiration of the time delay, the time delay restarts with a full duration.
Presenting a different card (not necessarily a programmed card) causes the new card data to be processed immediately and also clears
the Anti-Passback timer so that the first card presented now get processed again immediately.

Disabling the Timed Anti-Passback function provides another feature that controls how often ANY prox card is processed. When
option is disabled, the timer indicates how often a card will be processed. Please note that the prox read function continues to attempt
a card READ every 100 milliseconds, but a valid card read is only PROCESSED after the specified time delay elapses.

This function does not require the card to leave the read field. The main use of this feature is to adjust the processing rate of cards that
remain in the field. Now you can extend the processing time to stop this type of unwanted toggling. Simply extend the timer value to
accomplish this.

The anti-passback timer is set through command 32, parameter 3 (see below). The duration of the time delay can be set from a ½
second to 60 seconds in ¼ second increments.

The anti-passback feature applies only to prox cards; there is no “Anti-Passback” processing of keypad PINs. “Anti-Passback” and the
“card process timer” are also turned off in program mode.

To enable or disable anti-pass back use the following command sequence:

1. Enter Program Mode.

Press: 99 # Master Code *

The yellow LED flashes slowly.

2. To enable this feature, press: 30 # 14 # 1 # **

2.7.5.h Programming the Facility Code for Card Programming without Presentation

This option is used to set the facility code used when you are programming card users using commands 51 and 56. Prior to
programming users using these commands you must set this value to match that of the cards you are programming. The default value
in prox.pad is 1. IEI HID format proximity cards come with a facility code value of 11.

1. Enter Program Mode.

Press: 99 # Master Code *

2.7.5.i Programming Invalid PIN Lockout

This feature refers to the number of invalid keypad attempts you can make on the keypad before the keypad either locks out the
keypad or triggers the forced door output. It's used to keep people from continually attempting to gain access to the door by entering
various code combinations by trying to guess a code.

This feature is enabled/disabled through command 30, option 18. It is disabled by default. See below.

As codes are entered, the prox.pad maintains a count of the number of consecutive invalid keypad PINs that are entered. When the
invalid PIN count reaches the value programmed in command 32, parameter 4 (defaulted to 5 attempts), the invalid PIN lockout is
activated.

One of two possible actions occurs once Invalid PIN lockout is triggered. Either a timed lockout occurs or the forced door output is
activated, depending on which action you programmed. The action taken is programmed using command 30, option 19. Activation of
the invalid PIN lockout is noted in the log with an event.

There are a couple of ways to reset this count prior reaching the count limit. You can reset it by either entering a valid keypad code,
presenting a programmed prox card, pressing the program button, entering a valid [99 # Master code*] sequence or by the expiration
of the keypad timer.

Please keep in mind, presenting a valid but non-programmed prox card does not affect (clear or increment) the current invalid PIN
entry count. However, entering an incorrect master code in a [99 # Master Code*] sequence does increment the invalid PIN entry
count. This ensures that attempts to guess the master code are not overlooked.

To enable/disable this feature use the following command sequence:

1. Enter Program Mode.

Press: 99 # Master Code *

The yellow LED flashes slowly.

2. To enable this feature, press: 30 # 14 # 1 # **

The yellow LED continues to blink slowly.

To disable this feature, press: 30 # 14 # 0 # **

The yellow LED continues to blink slowly.

3. Exit Program Mode.

Press: *

The yellow LED stops flashing.

Page 50 of 86 Document # 6055676, Rev 2.2, D4b

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

To program the Invalid PIN lockout action use the following command sequence:

1. Enter Program Mode.

Press: 99 # Master Code *

The yellow LED flashes slowly.

2. To program the action for the forced door output, press: 30 # 19 # 1 # **

The yellow LED continues to blink slowly.

To program the action for timed lockout, press: 30 # 19 # 0 # ** (default)

The yellow LED continues to blink slowly.

3. Exit Program Mode.

Press: *

The yellow LED stops flashing.

When you set it to operate the Forced Door output the system’s current Forced Door settings (AUX output, duration, audio alert, etc)
are used. Once the Forced Door is activated, the invalid PIN entry counter clears. Now another lockout can occur as soon as the
threshold level is reached again.

When you select the Timed Lockout function all keypad PIN entries are disabled, with the exception of the [99 # Master Code*]
sequence, for the duration of the lockout. The duration of the time lockout is specified through command 32, parameter 5. The
command sequence is as follows:

1. Enter Program Mode.

Press: 99 # Master Code *

The yellow LED flashes slowly.

2. Enter the facility code (value = 1 to 255; set in 5 second increments; default = 60, which is 5 minutes).

Press: 32 # 5 # value # **

For example: To set for 10 seconds press 32 # 5 # 2 # **

3. Exit Program Mode.

Press: *

The yellow LED stops flashing.

Normal PIN-related indicators are disabled during a timed IPL. To determine the IPL state, enter a “known” invalid PIN such as
[123456 *]. This should generate the usual three beeps, indicating the PIN is not found. If the beeps do not occur, then IPL is active.
Also note that invalid PINs entries are not logged during an active IPL.

There are a number of ways to clear an active timed IPL: (1) pressing the program button or disconnecting power to the system always
clears a lockout; (2) presenting a valid prox card programmed as either a “Card Only” or “CardORCode” user type also cancels an
active timed lockout.

NOTE: Presenting a prox card programmed as “Card AND Code” does not clear the lockout as the entry of the required keypad PIN
is ignored.

There is a special situation when using the [99 # Master Code *] sequence to clear a timed IPL. If an invalid 99# Master Code* is
entered as part of the sequence to clear the IPL, a good 99# Master Code* sequence does not cancel the current lockout. This prevents
someone from attempting to guess the master code to cancel the lockout.

Once the IPL is activated by an invalid master code, it remains active until the IPL expires or is cancelled by some other means.
Entering [99#Master Code *] with the correct master code causes the red LED to “dropout” while the IPL is active.

Note that a continuous red LED dropout is used to indicate an active User Lockout condition. This should not cause confusion because
only a single red dropout occurs after the [99#Master Code *] sequence is entered.

2.8 Using the Printing Features

The prox.pad is equipped with and IR (infrared) LED which is used to transmit data to the option Data Collection Device (DCD) PDA
Software. This data includes a programmed user list, the transaction event log and the self-test information.

2.8.1 Selecting Transaction Log Information

When you first install your prox.pad you should decide which transaction events you want to store in the even log. The event log can
store up to 1000 events, but you may not want to see every one of them. You can select the specific transaction events you want to
store in the log by “masking” out certain events. By doing so you are directing the unit not to save those events in memory and thus
not be available for reporting later. The factory default is for all transaction events to be stored in the log. To select which events you
want to save to the log use the following command sequence:

1. Enter Program Mode.

Press: 99 # Master Code *

The yellow LED flashes slowly.

Chapter 3: Wiegand Front End Mode

Chapter 3 describes Wiegand Front End mode and supplies wiring diagrams and a programming chart specific to Wiegand mode.

3.1 Wiegand Front End Mode Description

In Wiegand Front End Mode (also known as “WFE” mode), the prox.pad unit is used as a front end for a Wiegand Access control
panel. The prox.pad operates as “code only” or “card only”, in Wiegand Front End Mode. Refer to the instruction manual with your
Wiegand panel for more information.

In Wiegand Front End Mode, the Wiegand access control panel makes all the access control decisions, controls the locking device,
controls the alarm output relays and the monitors any other inputs and outputs it may have.

The prox.pad maintains its own set of programming commands for various keypad options.

3.2 Wiring the Wiegand Front End

The following section shows how to wire the prox.pad to a Wiegand control panel. If you require further information on the Wiegand
panel connections please refer to the instructions that came with the panel.

Figure 16: Wiring to a Wiegand Panel

Use ALPHA 1295C (22AWG) 4-wire, stranded and shielded cable. The cable shield

drain wire must be grounded at the reader end to P1, pin 4 connection (DC Power

Supply Ground).

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

3.3 Wiegand Front End Programming

The following sections detail how to program the prox.pad while in Weigand Front End Mode.

3.3.1 Entering Program Mode

The first step in programming the prox.pad unit is to place it into program mode by using the master code, which is defaulted to 1234.

To place the prox.pad unit in program mode, press: 99 # Master Code *

When the prox.pad is in program mode the yellow LED flashes slowly.

When you are done programming, to exit program mode press the * key.

If at any point you make a programming error (either press a wrong key or perform a command the unit does not recognize), the unit
produces a program error by turning on the yellow LED solid. To clear a program error, simply press the * key.

Note: If you don't know the master code, refer to section 1.17 to press the program button (SW1) on the main circuit board.
Momentarily pushing this button forces the unit into program mode. Also refer to Table 13 for further details on troubleshooting
issues with the master code.

3.3.2 Changing the Master Code

The default master code of 1234 must be changed prior to performing any programming on the prox.pad unit. Attempting to
perform any programming commands produces a program error (solid yellow LED). To clear this error simply press the * key. The
only exception to this rule is the 46 command, used to default the unit. All other programming is not allowed.

To change the master code use the following programming sequence:

1. Enter Program Mode

Press: 99 # master code *

The yellow LED flashes slowly.

2. Program the new master code.

Press: 1 # new master code * repeat new master code *

3. Exit Program Mode

Press: *

The yellow LED stops flashing.

Note: Throughout the programming section the last step is to exit program mode. If you are going to program multiple keypad options,
you are not required to exit program mode after each command sequence. You may continue to the next programming option without
exiting program mode. When all your programming is complete, you can then exit program mode by pressing the * key.

Document # 6055676, Rev 2.2, D4b Page 61 of 86

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

3.3.3 Enabling Wiegand Front End Mode

The prox.pad is defaulted to operate in standalone mode. To use it as a Wiegand Front End you must change the operating mode. First,
change it to Front End Mode, then change it to Weigand Front End Mode. Use the following commands to change the operating mode.

1. Enter Program Mode.

Press: 99 # master code *

The yellow LED blinks slowly.

2. Program the prox.pad for Front End Mode operation.

Press: 30 # 3 # 1 # **

3. Program the prox.pad for Weigand Front End Mode.

Press: 30 # 15 # 0 # **

4. Exit Program Mode.

Press: *

The yellow LED stops blinking.

3.3.4 Wiegand Keypad Data

The prox.pad transmits keypad data as 26-Bit wiegand card data after you press the * key. If you have auto-entry enabled, as soon as
you've entered the final digit in the code, the data is sent. Remember, when auto-entry is used, the code must be the same length as the
master code.

When the prox.pad sends the 26-Bit data, the facility code programmed in command 32, option 2 is used in the data. Please refer to
section 3.3.5 below for details.

Since the keypad only transmits as 26-Bit data, codes can't exceed 65535. This is because there are only 16 bits availible in the 26 bit
data stream. If you enter a code that exceeds this number a single long beep is generate, indicating the value is too large, and the data
is not sent.

It is not possible to perform “Card and Code” operation (requiring both) to gain access in this mode.

3.3.5 Programming the Facility Code for Wiegand Keypad Data

This option is used to set the facility code used when you are using the prox.pad as a keypad front end. This value must match the
facility code used in your panel if required. The default value in prox.pad is 1.

1. Enter Program Mode.

Press: 99 # Master Code *

The yellow LED flashes slowly.

2. Enter the facility code (value = 0 to 255).

Press: 32 # 2 # value # **

3. Exit Program Mode.

Press: *

The yellow LED stops flashing.

3.3.6 Card Data

When an HID format card is presented, the raw card data stored on the card is sent directly to the Wiegand panel without any data
manipulation by the prox.pad. You can use any HID format card up to 40 bits. Simply present the card to reader and data is
immediately transmitted.

3.3.9 Enabling/Disabling Auto-Entry

Auto-Entry is a feature that determines whether or not you need to press the * key after entering your access code on the keypad. By
default, the feature is disabled which means you are required to enter the * key after your access code to gain entry. If you enable the
feature you are not required to enter the * key after entering your code to gain entry. This feature applies only to codes that are the
same length as the master code. For example if the master code is four-digits, your user code must be four digits to use the auto-entry
feature. All codes less than four digits require the * key. Codes longer than the master code are not allowed, since you'll reach that
number of digits prior to entering the * key.

Note: When auto-entry is enabled you do not have to press the * key after “99 # master code” to enter program mode.

Chapter 4: Secured Series Front End Mode

Chapter 4 describes Secured Series Front End mode and supplies wiring diagrams and a programming chart specific to Secured Series
Front End mode.

4.1 Secured Series Front End Mode Description

In Secured Series Front End Mode, the prox.pad unit is used as a front end for an IEI Secured Series Door Control Module. The
prox.pad operates as “code only”, “card only”, “card or code” or “card and code” with the Secured Series Door Control Module.
Refer to the instruction manual with your Secured Series product for more information.

In Secured Series Front End Mode, the Secured Series Door Control Module makes all the access control decisions, controls the
locking device, controls the alarm output relays and the monitors REX and the door contacts.

The prox.pad maintains it's own set of programming commands for various keypad options.

4.2 Wiring the Secured Series Front End

You can connect the prox.pad as a front end to an IEI Secured Series Door Control Module by following the diagram below. Using
connector P3 on the prox.pad, connect the white wire to the Secured Series DCM's white/yellow wire or the the white/yellow terminal
strip and connect the green wire to the white/black wire or white/black terminal strip on the Secured Series DCM.

Figure 17: Wiring the prox.pad to the Secured Series DCM

Use ALPHA 1295C (22AWG) 4-wire, stranded and shielded cable. The cable shield

drain wire must be grounded at the reader end to P1, pin 4 connection (DC Power

Supply Ground).

4.5 Secured Series Front End Programming

4.5.1 Entering Program Mode

The first step in programming the prox.pad unit is to place it into program mode by using the master code, which is defaulted to 1234.

To place the prox.pad unit in program mode, press: 99 # Master Code *

When the prox.pad is in program mode the yellow LED flashes slowly.

When you are done programming, to exit program mode press the * key.

If at any point you make a programming error (either press a wrong key or perform a command the unit does not recognize), the unit
produces a program error by turning on the yellow LED solid. To clear a program error, simply press the * key.

Note: If you don't know the master code, refer to section 1.17 to press the program button (SW1) on the main circuit board.
Momentarily pushing this button forces the unit into program mode. Also refer to Table 13 for further details on troubleshooting
issues with the master code.

4.5.2 Changing the Master Code

The default master code of 1234 must be changed prior to performing any programming on the prox.pad unit. Attempting to
perform any programming commands produces a program error (solid yellow LED). To clear this error simply press the * key. The
only exception to this rule is the 46 command, used to default the unit. All other programming is not allowed.

To change the master code use the following programming sequence:

4. Enter Program Mode

Press: 99 # master code *

The yellow LED flashes slowly.

5. Program the new master code.

Press: 1 # new master code * repeat new master code *

6. Exit Program Mode

Press: *

The yellow LED stops flashing.

Note: Throughout the programming section the last step is to exit program mode. If you are going to program multiple keypad
options, you are not required to exit program mode after each command sequence. You may continue to the next programming option
without exiting program mode. When all your programming is complete, you can then exit program mode by pressing the * key.

Press: 30 # 15 # 1 # **

4. Exit Program Mode.

Press: *

The yellow LED stops blinking.

4.5.4 Selecting the Card Type

Either standard 26-bit (which is the default value) or Corporate 1000 prox cards are allowed during Secured Series mode. No other
format cards can be used. The PIN data is extracted from these card types and sent to the Secured Series Door Control Module for
verification.

This card type option is set using the following commands:

1. Enter Program Mode.

Press: 99 # master code *

The yellow LED blinks slowly.

2. Program the prox.pad to accept 26-bit HID Format Cards (default)

code programming with this command. You must first select this type of card using command 30, option 20, which is discussed in
section 4.4.4, before this option will work. The command sequence is as follows:

1. Enter Program Mode.

Press: 99 # Master Code *

The yellow LED flashes slowly.

2. Enter the facility code (value = 0 to 4095; default = 4095).

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual

4.5.9 Programming Timed Anti-Passback

When you enable Timed Anti-Passback, which is the default value, you must specify a length of time that must pass before the same
prox card can be processed after being presented. The feature is included so that the card must be outside of the prox read field during
the entire period of time. If the card is reintroduced into the field prior to expiration of the time delay, the time delay restarts with a
full duration. Presenting a different card (not necessarily a programmed card) causes the new card data to be processed immediately
and also clears the Anti-Passback timer so that the first card presented now get processed again immediately.

Disabling the Timed Anti-Passback function provides another feature that controls how often ANY prox card is processed. When
option is disabled, the timer indicates how often a card will be processed. Please note that the prox read function continues to attempt
a card READ every 100 milliseconds, but a valid card read is only PROCESSED after the specified time delay elapses.

Also note that this function does not require the card to leave the read field. In fact one of the main uses of this feature is to adjust the
processing rate of cards that remain in the field. Now you can extend the processing time to stop this type of unwanted toggling.
Simply extend the timer value to accomplish this.

The anti-passback timer is set through command 32, parameter 3 (see below). The duration of the time delay can be set from a ½
second to 60 seconds in ¼ second increments.

The anti-passback feature applies only to prox cards; there is no “Anti-Passback” processing of keypad PINs. “Anti-Passback” and the
“card process timer” are also turned off in program mode.

To enable or disable anti-pass back use the following command sequence:

1. Enter Program Mode.

Press: 99 # Master Code *

The yellow LED flashes slowly.

2. To enable this feature, press: 30 # 14 # 1 # **

The yellow LED continues to blink slowly.

To disable this feature, press: 30 # 14 # 0 # **

The yellow LED continues to blink slowly.

3. Exit Program Mode.

Press: *

The yellow LED stops flashing.

To program the anti-passback timer use the following command sequence:

1. Enter Program Mode.

Press: 99 # Master Code *

The yellow LED flashes slowly.

2. Enter the anti-passback time (value = 2 to 240, ¼ sec. Increments; default = 4 = 1 sec.).

Press: 32 # 3 # value # **

3. Exit Program Mode.

Press: *

The yellow LED stops flashing.

Auto-Entry is a feature that determines whether or not you need to press the * key after entering your access code on the keypad. By
default, the feature is disabled which means you are required to enter the * key after your access code to gain entry. If you enable the
feature you are not required to enter the * key after entering your code to gain entry. This feature applies only to codes that are the
same length as the master code. For example if the master code is four-digits, your user code must be four digits to use the auto-entry
feature. All codes less than four digits require the * key. Codes longer than the master code are not allowed, since you'll reach that
number of digits prior to entering the * key.

Chapter 5: Troubleshooting

Chapter 5 contains a troubleshooting chart, diagnostic flow charts, a power supply integrity test, and information to correct possible
water problems. These are intended to help you troubleshoot any problems that occur on your own.

5.1 Before Calling IEI

Whenever your prox.pad unit experiences difficulty, before calling IEI for help, first refer to the Troubleshooting Chart for answers.
If the Troubleshooting Chart does not help, perform the following:

1. Write down the time and date that the problem occurred, or the time and date when you first noticed the problem. Also note
what the unit was doing when the problem occurred or was first noticed.

2. Note all other relevant information, paying particular attention to recent updates, new or inexperienced
installers/programmers, separate Wiegand panel or Secured Series Door Control Module.

3. Attempt to isolate the problem.

4. Refer to the “Troubleshooting Chart” and flow charts in this chapter. They are designed such that many common problems
can be easily diagnosed and corrected by users without IEI assistance.

5. Contact your supervisor or the “technical subject expert” at your facility for assistance for help if you cannot diagnose and
correct the problem yourself.

6. Contact IEI for help only if using steps 1-5 above fails to resolve the problem. Make sure that you have a written description
of the problem (and any steps you may have taken attempting to remedy the problem) before calling for help. Write down the
version number of your prox.pad unit before calling IEI for help.

5.2 Performing a Keypad Self-Test

To determine which version of the prox.pad keypad you have and to verify all the keys are operating properly you can perform the
keypad self-test.

To perform the keypad self-test enter the following on the keypad outside of programming mode:

Press: 7890#123456*

While you are pressing the keys pay attention to the keypress audible and visual feeback (if enabled). Each key should beep when
pressed and the yellow LED should flash.

If the test is successful the following happens:

Standalone Mode: LED's Cycle: Green, Yellow, Red, then 3 slow beeps, 2 quick beeps (yellow flash on first quick beep)

Wiegand Front End Mode: LED's Cycle: Green, Yellow, Red, then 3 slow beeps, 1 quick beep with yellow flash.

Secured Series Front End Mode: LED's Cycle: Green, Yellow, Red, then 3 slow beeps, 1 quick beep with yellow flash followed by

rapidly flickering yellow LED. Press the * key to clear.

In addition to the audible and visual feedback, when the self-test is complete, data is sent out the IR LED which you can capture with
the Data Collection Device (DCD) PDA Software. This data includes: the prox.pad serial number, time, date, firmware version,
firmware part number and the door number.

relock. If voltage varies 1/4 volt or
more during this test, this is a
problem you must correct; look for
the following: -verify that power
supply is rated sufficiently for all
equipment being powered -verify
that locking device, if on same
power supply, is set up for current
being drawn (example: if a lock
draws 300mA at 24VDC, same lock
may draw 600mA at 12VDC,
especially if the unit requires that
jumpers be placed in a different
configuration -place meter across
lock power wires at lock and ensure
the lock is receiving proper voltage

or not a stable electrical environment exists by revealing fluctuating voltages during operations. A fluctuation in voltage exists when
the equipment draws more amperage than the power supply offers.

1. As the prox.pad unit cycles the equipment ON and OFF, power must remain constant. If a voltage fluctuation of one-quarter
volt or more occurs during testing, in either the positive or negative direction, the test results indicates a “fail” response. If the
voltage retains proper amplitude (remains constant), the test indicates a “pass” response.

2. Set the meter to read voltage and place meter probes on the red and black wires of P1, located on the prox.pad unit. You may
have to reference Figure 2 for details. If the prox.pad unit consists of two parts, a reader and a controller, the terminals are
located on the controller. The voltage reading is monitored throughout the entire test.

3. With power being applied to the entire prox.pad unit, enter a valid code on the prox.pad keypad. The REX input can be used
in place of a valid code; the test results remain the same. Reference the keypad circuits diagram for REX input, located in
Chapter 2 of this manual.

4. Observe the meter as the keypad cycles the system ON and OFF. The voltage must remain constant during this operation,
indicating that the electrical system is stable and adequate. Constant voltage during the test indicates a “PASS” response. If
the voltage changes more than one-quarter of a volt (.25), the test indicates a “FAIL” response.

5. If the test indicates a “FAIL” response, then there is likely and issue with your power supply. Correct the problem, then run
the test again. If the test indicates a “PASS” response, then continue troubleshooting the issue.

5.5 Correcting Possible Water Problems

prox.pad units that are mounted outdoors require certain preventive steps to avoid being damaged by water. This section discusses the
reasons water can accumulate in keypads and the steps to prevent this.

5.5.1 Silicone

1. Use silicone to seal wire runs and mounting holes.

2. Do NOT seal the cover and base together. Keypads are designed to direct any water that enters the two constituent pieces,
base and cover, towards the bottom and out a drain or weep hole.

5.5.2 Wire Run

Bend the wires before they enter the case to form a drip loop. Often water follows the wires to the connection point of the circuit board
and shorts out the terminals to which the wires are connected.

5.5.3 Lithium Battery Replacement

Replacement Battery: Panasonic BR1225, Renata CR1225 or Varta CR1225; Refer to caution below.

Caution: Replace battery with types listed above only. Use

of another battery may present risk of fire or explosion.

Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not recharge,

disassemble or dispose of battery in fire.
