The hands free system increases the effective read range of a standard Paxton P or KP series reader.
The system comprises of a hands free interface, a compatible reader (see specification table) and hands free
tokens (keycard or keyfob). The system operates by using the field being transmitted by the P series reader to
wake up the token which then communicates with the interface which contains a long range receiver.
Existing P and KP readers can be used without modification. The hands free interface takes its power from the
control unit and therefore does not require a power supply.
Hands free tokens also include a standard EM4100 proximity ID chip and can therefore be presented to any
compatible proximity reader whether they are using the hands free interface or not.
What is hands free?
Before you install
Read in, read out
When using in and out readers, users may be picked up by both readers as they move through the door which
will reduce the reliability of any roll call or anti-passback application. Ensure that sufficient spacing is provided
between these readers for optimum range and reliability.
Positioning readers
For maximum read range the hands free reader field should not be overlapped by the field from other
interference sources at or around 125 kHz. These include Loop readers, OEM readers, etc.
Readers should not be positioned so that their active fields overlap.
(see table on back page for typical hands free read ranges)
For example, the minimum distance between a P200 and a P50 reader should
be 3.6 m (P200 hands free range = 2.5 m + P50 hands free range = 1.1 m)

For optimum keyfob battery life please choose your reader location carefully to avoid placing it within hands
free range of work stations, rest or smoking areas.
Positioning the interface
The interface should be positioned as close as practical to the reader. A distance from interface to reader of
10 to 15 meters can be achieved but wireless technology is susceptible to environmental factors and so if
problems are experienced it may be necessary to move the interface closer to the reader.
The hands free interface should not be housed in a metal enclosure as it contains the main receiver aerial.
Sticky feet allow the interface to be stuck to the ACU wiring label in a PSU plastic housing.
