About – KP readers are an all-in-one keypad and proximity reader. This allows card plus PIN (or code) access control with a single reader. KP readers are to be used 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 – As demonstrated the reader is wired on the control unit label. To avoid affecting the read range, be sure to not mount on metal surfaces or close to other proximity readers. The cable exits from the center-back of the reader for easy and accurate drilling and mounting.
Operation – Hold a token within close proximity to be read. If the reader has been configured for code/PIN this must then be entered using the keypad, only after a token has been read. The control unit confirms the information and will either grant or deny access, as appropriate. A green LED light will flash if the access is granted. A red LED light will flash if access is denied.
