Paxton Compact – Switch2 controller

About – Switch2 is a single door control unit. The control unit stores the access permissions of the user and is mounted within the building. This makes the system suitable for high-security applications.

Switch2 can be used with PROXIMITY, CARDLOCK or TOUCHLOCK readers. Switch2 can be installed to many doors over a site, all using the same tokens. Two readers can be connected to a single unit to give read in and read out access control.

Installation – There is a label on the Switch2 unit that clearly shows connections for a reader, lock, power supply etc. The Switch2 has a voltage free relay output and so can switch any lock or electrical device. Door contacts can be connected to the unit. An output is available when used with door contacts to give a door forced alarm.

Once installed with PROXIMITY or CARDLOCK readers, present the enrolment card to the reader. All the tokens in the pack are now valid. If using TOUCHLOCK, set up is via the keypad using the master code.

Operation – The operation of Switch2 depends on the mode.

Another user token may be issued for that user.
