How is it used?

This proximity reader has a special cover that is designed to retain a user card. The presence of a card in the
reader can then be used to turn on/off other equipment when a user is present.

A reader and controller can be used to provide a voltage free relay toggled output that can either directly switch low
voltage (less than 24V DC) or, in conjunction with a mains contact relay, switch power to equipment or lighting.

Fitting

Operation

When a valid user card is introduced to the reader, its card number is sent to the controller. The reader
constantly monitors for the presence of that card and once it is no longer in range of the reader (removed from
the holder) the card number is sent a second time. Paxton control units have a toggle function that will change
the state of the relay each time it receives a card number.

The system only monitors one card at a time and so a short 'off' period will occur if the user card in the holder is
exchanged for another.

Switch2 must be congured by means of a Toggle function card - This will need to be purchased if no function

pack already exists for this site.

Net2 software has a toggle function so either Reader port 1 or 2 can be used for this function. You will need to
select the Relay 2 toggle mode on the relevant reader screen.

If the Access level of a card becomes invalid (e.g. the time period or date expires) while it is in the reader,
removing the card will NOT turn off the equipment. You will need to introduce and remove a valid card to correct
this condition.

Paxton controller relays must NOT be connected directly to the mains supply.

Wiring

Connection to a control

unit reader port

WHITE labelled control units provide 5V at the Red terminal. The Red power wire
for the reader should therefore be directly connected to the 12V supply terminal.

This reader is designed to read Paxton Tokens (Hitag2) and EM4100 tokens.

Connection modules

Reader junction box (325-020)

This module can be used to provide a
connection point for the reader RJ45 plug.
The terminals on the module are then wired
colour for colour to the controller.

Alternatively, the reader can be wired directly
into the screw terminals of the control unit by

rst cutting off the RJ45 plug and stripping

back the wires in the cable.

Reader port module (325-030)

This module may be purchased separately to speed
up the installation and replacement of readers.

The reader port module is designed to convert the
standard reader ports on Switch2 and Net2 controllers
to accept one or two RJ45 connections. Pull off the
screw terminal block from the reader port and simply
replace it with this module.

Cable extensions

Readers can be extended using Belden CR9540 10-core overall screened cable to a maximum of 100 metres.
