Chapter 1 Introduction
System overview
System overview
Switch2 is a 1 door access control system. It is ‘stand alone’ so each system is isolated
from each other however several Switch2 systems can be used on a single site to suit the
majority of multi-door applications where central control is not requ ired.
The access of users through an access point can be controlled using keypad entry,
magnetic stripe cards, proximity tokens or a combination of each. The control unit is
compatible with the full range of readers and keypads manufactured by Paxton Access
Ltd.
Switch2 provides a volt free relay output, so can be used to control access through
doors, vehicle barriers, etc. or to switch other electrical equipment.
An exit button can be fitted where ‘read-out’ security is not required. Where a keypad is
fitted it is possible to drive a door bell unless the output is configured for an alarm
function (e.g. Door forced) by using door contacts.
Auto-lock is another feature made available when contacts are fitted. The locking
mechanism automatically locks when the door shuts even if the door open time has not
elapsed.

Operating modes
TOUCHLOCK
Switch2 can support 2 keypads for Code in and Code out applications. The control unit is
programmed through the keypad. Below are the various programming options.
Single/multiple code mode
Switch2 can be programmed to work with a single code or with more than 1 code. The
maximum number of codes is 50.
Normal, Toggle and Duress
It will be possible to program a code as:
• Normal code – operates the relay for the door open time.
• Toggle code – toggles the relay output
• Duress code – operates the relay for the door open time & the bell output.
Silent operation
The controller can be programmed to beep or not to beep when keys are pressed.
Lockout
The keypad can be set to lockout after too many incorrect key presses.
Door Open Time
The relay can be set to switch the relay contacts for any time from 1 to 60 seconds.
Remote Button
Switch2 supports exit buttons that can be programmed to either toggle the relay or to
power the relay for the defined door open time.
Data Reset
The Switch2 can be reset from the keypad.

CARDLOCK & PROXIMITY
Switch2 is programmed using function cards. It is possible to connect 2 readers to the
control unit for Read in and Read out applications.
The following function cards are available:
• Door Open Time card – changes the length of time the relay is powered
• Silent Operation card – the sounder in the Switch2 can be turned off
• Bar All Users card – bars every user from the system
• Time Zone card – used in conjunction with a Time Clock to configure a second
set of coloured zones.
• RED, AMBER and GREEN Zone cards – used to enable/disable the security
levels associated with the coloured zones.
• Relay Toggle card – enables/disables toggle output for the relay.
• Enrolment card – initialise the system and re-enrol barred users
User cards are associated to a coloured zone and will open the door as long as the
respective coloured zone LED is lit.
Shadow cards are used to bar individual users.
PROXIMITY KP series keypads
When using a PROXIMITY KP series keypad Switch2 is programmed using a combination
of the TOUCHLOCK programming menu and PROXIMITY function cards. It is possible to
connect 2 readers to the control unit for in and out applications.
Three modes are available when using KP readers:
• Card plus PIN – In this mode the user is required to present a valid user card
and then enter the user’s associated PIN number. The specific PIN is allocated to
the card during enrolment.
• Card plus code – In this mode the user requires both a valid card and one of
the valid door codes to gain access.
• Card or code – As with card plus code but this time a user can gain access with
either a valid card or a valid code.
Switch2 Control Unit
Inputs
Any Paxton reader or keypad can be used with Switch2.
It is possible to connect 2 readers or keypads to a Switch2 control unit where read/code
in and out are required.
Exit buttons can be used if a handle or reader/keypad is not used. This is a voltage free
input and the button needs to be push-to-make. It should be chosen to suit the volume
of traffic using the access point. There is no limit to the number of exit buttons that can
be fitted.
Door contacts can be fitted to Switch2. The door contact circuit must be closed when
the door is shut. With contacts connected to the Switch2 control unit, a door forced open
alarm can be generated. The Auto-lock feature is also active where the locking
mechanism automatically locks when the door shuts even if the door open time has not
elapsed.

Outputs
Relay – lock output
Relay operation is described in Appendix (1). The relay contacts are voltage free and are
rated 4Amps at 40V ac or dc. Having relay contacts means that this output is very
versatile and can operate virtually any electrical equipment including fail open and fail
closed locks, electric gates, electric barriers, lifts…
There are two main types of locking devices - fail open and fail closed. Refer t o Appendix
(2) for more information.
When using the same power supply for the ACU and electric release, diode suppression
must be fitted. A standard 1N4001 diode is fitted as shown in Wiring – inputs and
outputs.
Bell/alarm output
This output is a transistor driven 0v DC / 1A output that can be used to sound a
bell/buzzer in the event of an alarm or where a keypad is fitted, someone pressing the
bell button.
The bell output activates for a minimum of 1 second when the bell button is pushed. If
the bell button is held down, the bell output continues until it is released.
If contacts are fitted the bell button is disabled and the output can then be used to sound
an alarm. The door forced open alarm will be active for 30 seconds each time it is
activated.
Enclosure Options
The Switch2 control unit is available in two different f orms. The first offers t he unit on its
own with the option to fix it in the PSU with plastic adhesive feet. The second provides a
black plastic enclosure containing a 1amp switch mode power supply unit (see Chapter 3
Fitting).
Power Requirements
Switch2 requires a 12v DC power supply, which should be connected to the terminals
marked 12V and 0V. When run from a 12V DC supply, the Switch2 control unit uses a
maximum of 80mA not including any power drawn by attached readers or keypads. In
the event of mains failure and where no battery backu p is fitted, the un it will not fun ction
however it will retain all its settings during the pow er loss.
Conformity
The board has been CE and FCC certified for immunity and emissions.
Power supplies
Choosing guide
When choosing a power supply for the Switch2 system there are several considerations.
Current rating
The rating of the power supply must be suited to the load. The quiescent current of the
various system components are given in the instructions for the individual component.
The minimum power supply rating is equal to the sum of all loads plus 10% (safety
factor).
Battery backup
The time that the Switch2 sy stem will continue t o operate when the mains supply fails is
dependent on the current consumption of the system and the battery backup in the
power supplies.
Backup time (hours) = Amp hour of backup batteries (Amp hours)
Current consumption of system (Amps)
Chapter 2 About 7
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.

CARDLOCK readers (5v & 12v)
CARDLOCK readers come supplied with 5 metres of cable. The colours of the cable cores
correspond directly to the colours on the Switch2 control unit label. When extending the
cable distance beyond 5 metres, do not used twisted pair cable as the data signals may
become distorted. Belden 9540 is recommended. The screen should be connected to 0V
(Black terminal) for all readers and keypads that have a screened cable.
