Connecting a Bell PAX1 Proximity Reader
Connect the lock release as per this manual. Leave the Proximity Reader set to
fail secure, the BFD controller sets the lock type.
Use a lock time card to reduce the lock time to 1 or 2 seconds, otherwise the
PAX1 will extend the bellfree lock time to 7 seconds. Lock time cards are in all
Fob packs except the starter pack.
Note 1. A normally open exit button can still be wired to the BFD controller in addition to
the proximity wiring. Alternatively the exit button can be wired to the proximity
reader
ACT 1000/2000/3000 Proximity Controller or 100e/200e Extender
The lock output on an ACT controller is a volt free relay contact, so as long as it is
not used for another purpose it can be directly connected to the exit input of a
bellfree door controller.
A 2 wire interface is shown, but if a common 12V supply is in use then the Exit-
input may be left unconnected and the corresponding ACT relay connection can be
connected to a local 0V terminal.
