About– KP readers are a keypad and a proximity reader all in one. This allows card plus PIN (or code) access control with a single reader. KP readers are for use with Switch2 and Net2 systems. The KP series keypads are supplied with black bezels only. Replacement bezels are available in black and white/gray, and are free of charge to Paxton registered installers from the Extranet.
Installation– The reader is wired as shown on the control unit label. Be sure to avoid mounting on metal surfaces or near other proximity readers as this will affect the read range. The cable exits centrally from the back of the reader making drilling and mounting very accurate.
Operation– A token is read by holding it within close proximity of the reader. Once a token has been read if the reader has been configured for code/PIN this must then be entered using the keypad. The control unit verifies the information and grants or denies access as appropriate. If access is granted the green LED flashes. If access is denied the red LED flashes.
