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.

How is it used ?

Paxton

Cable extensions

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

Wiring

Connection to a control

unit reader port

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.

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.

Reader junction box (325-020)

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.

Paxton controller relays must NOT be connected directly to the mains supply. For further
information see: AN1088 - Using the energy saving reader to switch mains power.

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.

Operation

Net2 has a toggle function assigned to Relay 2 and 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.
