Readers and Keys
7-1
Proximity readers
Prime intrusion control panels can manage nBy/S, nBy/X readers and also the built-in readers
on JOY/MAX, Aria/HG and Alien keypads.
Readers (also referred to as proximity readers) have 4 LEDs:
• F1- Red
• F2 - Blue
• F3 - Green
• F4 - Yellow
Each reader is enabled to operate on specific partitions, whereas each key is enabled to
operate only on the partitions the user is allowed to control. Therefore, if a key is held in the
vicinity of a reader, it will be possible to control only the partitions which the two devices have
in common.
Each reader can be programmed with up to 4 shortcuts (one per LED).
If the keypad is equipped with a buzzer, the latter will signal the running entry, exit and pre-
arm times on the enabled reader partitions (refer to paragraph 6-4 Signalling on the Buzzer).

Signalling on reader LEDs
The LEDs have two distinct operating modes:
• when no key is present at the reader (refer to Table 7-1: Reader LEDs with no key at
reader), the LEDs will indicate the current status of the associated shortcut.
• when a key is present at the reader (refer to Table 7-2: Reader LEDs with key at reader),
the LEDs will indicate (in rapid succession) the available shortcuts.
