About – Compact is a single door access control system. All of the electronics are within the housing of the reader. Compact systems can be installed to many doors over a site, all using the same tokens. The P series readers are supplied with black fascias only.
Installation – The compact reader has two wires which connect to the lock and two wires which connect to the power supply. There are two additional wires for connection to an exit button if required. The cable exits from the center-back of the reader making drilling and mounting easy and accurate.
Be sure to avoid mounting on metal surfaces or near other proximity readers as this will affect the read range. Once installed present the enrollment card to the reader. All the tokens in the pack are now valid. This completes the installation.
Operation – User tokens are valid and ready for use once installation is complete. Every user token is supplied with a corresponding shadow card. As user tokens are issued, the name of the user is marked on the shadow card. If a user is to be barred, or a user token is lost, the shadow card marked with the user’s name is presented to all readers on site. This simple action invalidates the user token. Another user token may be issued for that user.
Additional features can be programmed using the proximity function card pack. These features include zoning which allows you to limit access by token color.
Replacement fascias are available in black and white/gray, and are free of charge to Paxton registered installers from the Paxton Portal.
