What is a long range reader?

A long range reader can read Paxton hands free tokens up to a maximum of 5 metres. 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

proximity reader whether they are using the hands free interface or not.

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.

read and a block on repeated reads at the same door whilst the keyfob remains in range.

Positioning readers Hands free readers should be positioned so that their transmission fields do not overlap. (see table on back page for typical hands free ranges) For optimum keyfob battery life please choose your reader location carefully to avoid placing it within hands free range of work stations, rest or smoking areas.
PAGE 3
A data cable must be run from the control unit to the reader interface. The recommended cable for this is Belden 9540; a 10 core overall screened cable with a maximum length of 100 metres. Spare cores should be used to double up on the power wires (Red/Black) to the interface. The reader requires a higher current (up to 1A) than can be supplied by the ACU reader port and so an independent 12V DC power feed must be provided.
PAGE 4
Changing frequency channel If you are experiencing problems with the range or reliability this may be due to poor reader positioning, adjacent interfering 125 kHz 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. The system has 16 channels available.

Technical Help Here is the list of topics about this product that receive the most technical support enquiries. We list them here to help you speed up the installation and trouble shooting process. 1 - Hands Free - The read range is very poor - Where is the best position for the reader? QThe wireless signal will not travel through metal or water and will be influenced by building features and other Q2.4 GHz wireless sources, including WiFi networks and DECT phones.

Using an entry confirm button Where more than one door interface can pick up the hands free token, a 'push to make' button can be used to select the required door. Where fitted, the LED on a confirm button will flash for 5 seconds after the hands free token has been recognised and must be pressed to unlock the door. Once an entry confirm button has been fitted to the interface PCB, perform the following sequence: 1. Power down the interface board. 2. Power up the interface board. 3.
