The P series reader is constantly transmitting the address of the interface it is connected to.
When the hands free token comes in range, it wakes up and transmits its card number to the
interface just identified. This ensures that it
only communicates with the correct interface
board, allowing several interface boards to
be placed within range of each other.
The token then shuts down for two seconds
to stop repeated transmissions and preserve
battery life. After this two second period,
the token checks to see if it is still in the
same field. If so, it shuts down and checks
again two seconds later. If it finds no field,
it shuts down completely until woken again
by a fresh transmission from a reader.
NOTE: After a good read, you must take the
token away from the reader’s field before
you can repeat a test at the same door.
The hands free system increases the effective read range of a standard Paxton P or KP series
reader to a maximum of 2.5 metres.
The system comprises of a hands free interface, a compatible reader (see read range table) and
hands free tokens (keycard or keyfob). The system operates by using the field being transmitted
by the P series reader. This wakes up the token which then communicates with the interface. The
interface contains a long range receiver aerial.
Existing P and KP readers can be used without modification. The hands free interface takes its

Hands free tokens also include a standard PROXIMITY ID chip and can therefore be presented to
any compatible proximity reader whether they are using the hands free interface or not.
