Paxton PROXIMITY compact slimline - Manual (Page 3)

Introduction
The PROXIMITY compact system is the ideal solution in access control situations where no central
programming or reporting is required. Voiding and validating of users is achieved with the unique shadow
card system, and all system programming is performed with the easy to use function cards. The PROXIMITY
compact reader contains all the electronics inside the reader, from which come three cable pairs, connecting
to the power, electric release and optionally, an exit button.
No cards are supplied with the reader or the kit because there may be more than one door fitted with the
system on the same site, and there must only be one starter pack of cards per site.
The PROXIMITY compact slimline comes in 2 colours (White or Black) either by itself or in a kit. The
contents of the kit are:
569-117BL - PROXIMITY compact slimline reader
12V dc release with rim and mortice fittings
998-260 - 1A 12V d.c. compact power supply with cable tails
Fitting kits
About
Suitability
Reader
The reader is designed for access control situations where the level of security does not require that the
control electronics be on the safe side of the door.
PROXIMITY tokens
All Paxton Access Ltd PROXIMITY tokens will work with this reader. They include the PROXIMITY card,
PROXIMITY keyfob and PROXIMITY ISO card.
Read range
The PROXIMITY slimline reader has a read range of 100mm when using PROXIMITY cards in normal
conditions and 55mm when using PROXIMITY keyfobs in normal conditions.
Environment
The reader will operate between –20
o C and +70 o C. It can be mounted onto a metal frame, but this may
reduce the read range. The reader is waterproof (to IPX7) and is therefore suitable for outside use. The
colour of black plastic is stable in UV light. However, other colours may fade after extended exposure to
direct sunlight.
