About – Proximity card packs are compatible with Compact and Switch2 systems. The cards are supplied in wallets, and come in a pack of 50. An intuitive ‘shadow card’ system is used for ease of management.
Installation – When installing the system the first card pack is added by presenting the enrollment card from that pack. Subsequent packs are added by presenting the original enrollment card followed by the enrollment card from the new pack. Further configuration is done using the other cards in the pack.
- Door open time card: Sets the amount of time the door is unlocked for.
- Fail open release card: Only for use with proximity compact and Easyprox compact. Proximity compact: presenting this card reverses the operation of the lock output to make it suitable for operating a fail open release. Presenting this card again reverts operation to fail locked.
- Easyprox compact: presenting this card will set the lock to ‘unlock’. Presenting this card again will relock the door.
- Silent operation card: Disables the sounder in the reader. The sounder is enabled by presenting the card again (Compact systems only).
Operation – User cards are supplied in wallets. Each card is packaged with a corresponding shadow card. Once a pack is enrolled, all user cards are valid and ready to be issued. To issue a user card, remove it from the wallet and write the name of the user on its corresponding shadow card. The user may now use their card to gain access. Repeat this process for all users. If a card needs to be voided, remove the corresponding shadow card from the wallet and present it to relevant readers on the site. This invalidates the user card.
