System overview
System overview
Switch2 is a 1 door access control system. It is ‘stand alone’ so each system is isolated
from each other however several Switch2 systems can be used on a single site to suit the
majority of multi-door applications where central control is not required.
The access of users through an access point can be controlled using keypad entry,
magnetic stripe cards, proximity tokens or a combination of each. The control unit is
compatible with the full range of readers and keypads manufactured by Paxton Access
Ltd.
Switch2 provides a volt free relay output, so can be used to control access through
doors, vehicle barriers, etc. or to switch other electrical equipment.
An exit button can be fitted where ‘read-out’ security is not required. Where a keypad is
fitted it is possible to drive a door bell unless the output is configured for an alarm
function (e.g. Door forced) by using door contacts.
Auto-lock is another feature made available when contacts are fitted. The locking
mechanism automatically locks when the door shuts even if the door open time has not
elapsed.
