What is Hands Free?

A long range reader can read Paxton hands free tokens up to a maximum of 5 yards. The system comprises of a

long range reader with an integral hands free interface and hands free tokens (keycard or keyfob). The system

operates by using the eld being transmitted by the reader to wake up the token which then communicates with

the interface.

Existing Switch2 or Net2 control units, can be used without modication. Standard Paxton tokens/keyfobs can

be used with this reader but at their normal read range (see table on back page)

Hands free tokens also include a standard proximity ID chip and can therefore be presented to any Paxton

LED indications

The unit has a single high intensity LED array that displays RED or GREEN indications.

Steady RED - Waiting for card ( IDLE state )

Flashing GREEN - Access Granted ( or held unlocked )

Flashing RED - User Access Denied

If an error condition exists ( ACU powered off, Cable break, etc) the LED will show a steady RED indication.

Before you install Positioning readers Readers should not positioned so that their active fields overlap. (see table on back page for typical hand free read ranges) For maximum read range the Hands Free reader field should not be overlapped by the field from other interference sources at or around 125KHz. These include Loop readers, non Paxton readers, etc.

Fitting 11 22 33 4 4 The long range reader consists of a reader module mounted inside the front half of the housing and a hands free interface mounted inside the rear half. An interconnect cable is supplied that connects the two sections together. Two 5 yard cables for data and power are provided. These enter the module at the rear through two compression glands. If longer cables are required, refer to the previous section for further details.

Configuration Changing frequency channel If you are experiencing problems with the range or reliability this may be due to poor reader positioning, adjacent interfering 125KHz or 2.4 GHz equipment, e.g. an adjacent wireless PC network. Please refer to the ‘Before you install’ information regarding unit locations. If you are still unable to improve the system performance then you may try an alternative 2.4 GHz channel using Switch 1. Power cycle the unit after any changes.

Using an entry confirmation button Where two door readers may pick up the same hands free token, a push to make button can be used to confirm an entry request for the specific door. Where fitted, the button LED will flash for 5 seconds after the hands free token has been recognised and must be pressed to unlock the door. To enable the use of an entry confirmation button do the following steps: 1. Power down the interface board 2. Power up the interface board 3.
