Fitting
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 configured 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.
Operation
Paxton controller relays must NOT be connected directly to the mains supply.
See: AN1088 - Using the energy saving reader.

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?
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.
