Introduction

The PROXIMITY compact system is the ideal solution in access control situations where no central
programming or reporting is required. Voiding and validating of users is achieved with the unique shadow
card system, and all system programming is performed with the easy to use function cards. The PROXIMITY
compact reader contains all the electronics inside the reader, from which come three cable pairs, connecting
to the power, electric release and optionally, an exit button.

No cards are supplied with the reader or the kit because there may be more than one door fitted with the
system on the same site, and there must only be one starter pack of cards per site.

The PROXIMITY compact slimline comes in 2 colours (White or Black) either by itself or in a kit. The
contents of the kit are:

569-117BL - PROXIMITY compact slimline reader
12V dc release with rim and mortice fittings
998-260 - 1A 12V d.c. compact power supply with cable tails
Fitting kits

About

Suitability

Reader

The reader is designed for access control situations where the level of security does not require that the
control electronics be on the safe side of the door.

PROXIMITY tokens

All Paxton Access Ltd PROXIMITY tokens will work with this reader. They include the PROXIMITY card,
PROXIMITY keyfob and PROXIMITY ISO card.

Read range

The PROXIMITY slimline reader has a read range of 100mm when using PROXIMITY cards in normal
conditions and 55mm when using PROXIMITY keyfobs in normal conditions.

Environment

The reader will operate between –20o C and +70oC. It can be mounted onto a metal frame, but this may
reduce the read range. The reader is waterproof (to IPX7) and is therefore suitable for outside use. The
colour of black plastic is stable in UV light. However, other colours may fade after extended exposure to
direct sunlight.

Power supplies

Paxton supplied

Paxton Access Ltd offer these power supply solutions.

supplies available from
Paxton Access Ltd

12Vdc boxed backup power supply 1A

Standard 1 Amp 12V dc power supply unit with a 205mm X 230mm X 80mm enclosure. Hinge lid with a
tamper switch. Takes 2 X 1.2AH batteries.

12Vdc boxed backup power supply 2A

Standard 2 Amp 12Vdc power supply unit with a 350mm X 325mm X 80mm enclosure. Hinge lid with a
tamper switch. Takes 2 X 7AH batteries.

1A 12V d.c. compact power supply with cable tails

Suitable for powering PROXIMITY compact readers in simple low security applications. Can drive locks
drawing up to 500mA. This supply is housed in a small sealed plastic enclosure and can be fixed to a wall
using the bracket supplied.

Choosing guide

When choosing a power supply for the PROXIMITY compact system there are several considerations.

Current rating

The rating of the power supply must be suited to the load. The maximum quiescent current of the
PROXIMITY compact slimline reader is 140mA.

The minimum power supply rating is equal to the sum of all loads plus 10% (safety factor).

Battery backup

The time that the PROXIMITY compact system will continue to operate when the mains supply fails is
dependent on the current consumption of the system and the battery backup in the power supplies. The
relationship is shown below

Backup time (hours) = Amp hour of backup batteries (Amp hours)
Current consumption of system (Amps)

Power supplies vary in the features they offer relating to battery backup. A few considerations are:

• Deep discharge – When a backup battery is drained too much it can reach a state whereby it cannot be

recharged. This is deep discharge. Some power supplies have the ability to prevent this happening.

• Recharge limit – Some power supplies limit the current consumption of a battery whilst it is recharging.

If a power supply does not do this then the system may not be immediately operational when mains
power is resumed, i.e. the power will be consumed by the battery recharge.

• Battery capacity – The size of the enclosure will limit the amount/size of the backup batteries.

Locks

Fail open (fail safe)

Fail open devices require power to lock, i.e. if there is no power to the device it is unlocked. An example of a
fail open device is a magnetic lock (maglock).
A fail open locking device is a requirement for fire doors. This is because it is not reliant on electrical power
to unlock.
It is advisable to have a battery backup for systems using fail open devices. Otherwise a mains power failure
would lead to doors unlocking for the period of the mains failure.
Fail open devices are inefficient in terms of power consumption when compared to fail closed devices. This
is because they are powered for the majority of the time, i.e. when the door is locked.

Fail closed (fail secure)

Fail closed devices require power to unlock, i.e. if there is no power to the device it is locked. Most standard
electric releases are fail closed.
If battery backup is not fitted, mains loss would result in doors being locked for the period of the power
failure.
Fail closed devices are more efficient that fail open devices. This is because they are only powered when the
door is unlocked.

User tokens – choice

Users of a PROXIMITY compact system will be required to carry a user token. Paxton Access Ltd
manufactures a number of different types of token.

Proximity card

Cards are about credit card size but are thicker. They can be used from inside wallets or handbags.
Adhesive plastic stickers can be applied for photo ID and the slot in the tokens makes them ideal for use
with low cost badge clips.

Proximity keyfob

Keyfobs are for applications where convenience is important. They are made of hard plastic and will fit onto
a keyring. They can be attached to car/house keys for reduced losses, hence reducing the cost of replacing
fobs.

Proximity ISO card

ISO cards are the same size as standard bank or credit cards. They can be used with standard card printers
for photo ID. They also have a magnetic stripe that can be encoded for use with other systems such as
vending.

User tokens – photo ID

There are several photo ID options with varying degrees of cost for PROXIMITY systems.

Proximity

Proximity ID tokens can be produced in any of the following ways.

1. The PROXIMITY card photo ID pouch overlay has inserts for a passport photo and some text. This is
laminated in a standard office laminator and applied onto the face of the token with the adhesive
backing.

2. The PROXIMITY card plain overlay can be printed with graphics using the desktop card printers used
with on site photo imaging systems. They are applied to the token using the adhesive backing.

3. PROXIMITY ISO cards have the same dimensions as standard magstripe cards. This allows them to be
printed on using either a specialist bureau service or on site photo imaging systems. ISO cards are
always supplied with a blank white face for printing.

There is a small area on the bottom right hand of ISO cards that may cause printing irregularities and should
be avoided when designing card artwork. Ask for the “PROXIMITY devices datasheet” for more details.
